Whelchel Landscaping & Construction

They worked quickly and accurately and created a beautiful backyard space for my family.

Whelchel Landscaping was professional, punctual and easy to work with. Our project had delays, not related to Whelchel, and they accommodated us as bet they could, ultimately finding workable solutions. Our yard is stunning and we will enjoy it for many years to come. Thank you Whelchel, we will recommend your company whole-heartedly to anyone!!

Bill and Ray were easy to work with. They had good ideas, were very accommodating, knowledgable and experienced. The install team (Frank and guys) did an amazing job. They had very high standards, took pride in their work, and were respectful of us and our property. They communicated well. The quality of work was superior. They transformed our backyard into a beautiful area. They installed synthetic grass, lots of pavers, a dry creek bed along with plants and boulders. We highly recommend them for your landscape project.

I would highly recommend Whelchel Landscaping & Construction. It was nothing short of a pleasure working with Dimitri and the entire crew. There were draining concerns in our backyard and they worked through in issue so the new design would drain properly. The crew and foreman were very professional and did outstanding work. Will be doing additional work with them in the Spring. Thanks Whelchel!!

The construction crew worked quickly, were on time, responded to my suggestions, and produced a sold, well-built ramada. They cleaned up after themselves. The landscaping crew also were on time, completed everything quickly, charged the estimated price, and left the site looking just fine. I would use them again and highly recommend them.

We got bids from several other landscapers, and Welchel were more expensive than some, but went with them mainly because of the design. Demitri was great to work with, and the crew as well. They knew what they were doing and cleaned up each day. There was a big enough crew to get the work done in a timely manner, and they all worked hard the entire time they were here. They were careful and respectful of our home and very pleasant to work with. The yard looks wonderful!. We're glad we picked this company.

Everyone was very professional and worked with us regarding the insurance estimate. Kept in touch and did the work in a speedy manner. Looks great, and did a great job with the clean up. ( a truck had ran through my corner wall, which was very messy) Would definitely recommend this company. Thanks for a job well done.

Rude, unskilled labor. If you’re a female, expect to be treated like it’s the 1950s. This owner and his staff will disrespect you from start to finish, and don’t even think of asking any questions or making your wishes known, because they will not be respected. Most unprofessional landscape crew I’ve ever encountered. They ruined one of my trees, completely butchered a mature beautiful tree. Did not care and did not ask my wishes. A good metaphor would be the aim most men use when they urinate on a toilet. Pretty sloppy and careless, and don’t give a ****. If you want a poor job done and to feel unsafe, yelled at (no exaggeration) and disrespected on your own property, hire this wanna be landscaper.

This was a huge project and this company and its crew did a fantastic job. We are very pleased and will hire them again to do landscaping projects.

Perfect. Best crew and best job ever!!

Bill made sure to sit down with me several times before work started in the backyard to be sure everyone understood what was going to be done. We went through several iterations after Bill generated a very creative 'blueprint' for our backyard. He was open to our inputs and made the appropriate adjustments prior to his workers arriving. He even gave us the cheaper option of pouring colored concrete for the decks versus going with our more expensive idea of paver stones. All work was completed in about a week with significant progress being made every day. Bill was able to easily add some additional work that we wanted done on our front porch. Follow up appointments were scheduled the next week to ensure the irrigation drip system was working correctly. Bill's team added about a dozen plants to our landscaping and almost all have taken root and budded despite them being planted in February. We are now enjoying our new backyard with a lot less worry about keeping the lawn alive and the plants watered.

Extremely well.

Best job ever. Most professional people I have ever dealt with. Prompt, efficient, friendly and just great to work with. I will recommend them to anyone who needs this kind of work.

They are very comprehensive when it comes to the landscaping. Creative.

They were responsive and on schedule. A crew came in, each with their own tasks and transformed the yard in one week. When something needed fixing, they did so quickly and professional. Appreciate the open communication. Thank you.

Dmitri and his crew were punctual, efficient, courteous, and did a great job. Overall, a great experience with this company. I would not hesitate to recommend them and plan to use them again for future landscaping projects.

Plan was good but probably would not meet HOA restrictions.

Very well! In fact i plan on using this company this spring for my front yard! Working with Shana, the landscape designer, was an absolute pleasure! Shana has great ideas and was very patient with all my questions. My back yard was a disaster zone filled with weeds, goat head burrs and no place for the dogs to play but now its a great hang out zone. I was also very impressed with Whelchel & Gleason because they were willing to fix my damaged irrigation system and modify it for the new yard! I had a few people quote me and this company is the only one to included plants and irrigation in the original quote, and that quote came in about the same as everyone else!! Whelchel & Gleason had been running an offer on Angie's List and they were willing to make the offer work with my bigger landscaping project!!! I was also impressed by the very efficient and friendly work crew and the the simple fact that the owner of the company made it a point to come to my house and introduce himself the morning the crew arrived to start work. I truly believe that says a great deal about a company! I would recommend if someone wants super dog friendly landscaping, to do a bit more research of what you would be better in your yard, especially if you have a male dog. The two things i didn't consider when going through the plans are male dogs mark whatever plants you put in and could destroy them if they are not very hearty, and dogs eat decorative grass! Unfortunatly neither Shana or i considered either one of those during the planning stage and now my one decorative grass has turned into a decorative stump and my yard has acquired a couple of funny dog pee posts ;) That being said i highly recommend this company to anyone considering a small or large landscaping project!!!!!!! I look forward to working with them next spring!

It took two days to complete the job. The most challenging part of the job was laying the flagstones which were set in crusher fines. They planted six 5 gal plants and ten 1 gal plants and installed the drip irrigation for the plants as well. My husband and I are both very happy with the results.

Great. Good communication, Great job very happy

Excellent. The project came out better than we envisioned and the Whelchel Gleason team was a pleasure to worth with. Everyone was professional, knowledgeable and responsive to any questions and/or requests we made throughout the process.

I personally wanted to put a sprinkler system and sod down myself, but I couldn’t due to the fact I had shoulder surgery and was restricted from doing this myself. So, we hired Bill Whelchel to put in our sod & sprinkler system. I asked Bill if they fertilize the sod when they put it in and he stated “it’s like a “placebo” it really doesn’t matter”, and he assured us that the sod will grow great without fertilizing it. Part of the process in laying sod down is to use a starter fertilizer to encourage growth. I knew he was wrong in not wanting to fertilize but he assured us that the grass will grow without it and look great. Well he was wrong. Our sod was put in late March 2016 & Early April 2016 and was 40% green and 60% dormant, a member from his crew set our watering times for each zone to water. I made my first cut 6 weeks after the sod was in and I cut 1/3 off and then fertilized it. After that initial cut I noticed my grass in areas was starting to die, so I called Bill he came out and said that I wasn’t watering adequately and each zones wasn’t getting enough water. I told him (Bill) his crew member set the time and I haven’t touched it since then. Bill re-set each zone so they grass gets the water needed, and this was done early June 2016. In late June 2016 I called Bill again and he came out and saw that the grass was dying if not already dead. Bill once again said it was being watered inadequately. I told Bill that it was being watered from when he last set the timer to in early June. Bill then said he knew someone at Lawn Doctors & have them come out and power seed our lawn, but wouldn’t be able to do so till late August 2016 or Early September 2016 due to the heat. He did this to honor his warranty and he would pay for it. After he left I raked all the dead grass from my yard, which filled 2-50 gallon trash bags. I kept watering with the times Bill set back in late June 2016. The owner from Lawn Doctors showed up mid-August 2016 and looked at the grass and he asked how long the grass was down and I told him since Early April 2016 ( 4 months). I also told him that no fertilizer was ever put down before or after the sod was applied. He sated that it should’ve been added. The owner explained the process of power seeding . Before the Lawn Doctor showed up in Late August 2016 to get started on my yard, Bill showed up and once again stated that I was watering inadequately and that’s why our grass was dying. I once again told Bill that “he” set the timer in early June 2016 and I never touched it. Needless to say that he wouldn’t accept any responsibility and put the blame on the homeowner for “inadequately watering”, especially when "he" was the one that set timer to water for each zone. When Bill turned us over to the Lawn Doctors my wife & I said he was dumping his problem on someone else to fix. Even though Bill offered to pay we felt that he was just passing it off to someone else and he could wash his hands of our problem. Later that day I called and left a message to Bill stating that we will pay the Lawn Doctors and the we will revoke his one year warranty and do whatever we need to do to get our lawn looking good ourselves. We spent a lot of money to have the sprinkler system and sod put in and we feel that Bill as an owner whose company installed our sod decided to take short cuts and not fertilize our grass, especially coming out of winter. Bill stated that for 20 years he’s installed sod without fertilizing and my response to that was that he had been doing it wrong for the past 20 years. I also told Bill that I had talked to other lawn professionals and asked if they put down fertilizer when they lay sod and each company said “YES”. I also mentioned to Bill to go on to YOU TUBE to see the process in preparing to put sod down. Even though Bill was willing to pay Lawn Doctors for his error and poor judgment we decided to pay ourselves and cut any ties to Bill Whelchel and his company. We will never hire Bill to do anything else for us going forward. His crew was great. We feel that Bill Whelchel should've taken out the old sod and put new sod in and add the fertilizer , which is part of the process in laying sod, but instead he dumped us and our problem on another company to fix what he did wrong.

I couldn't be happier. A great job at a fair price!

So so. The design was okay but my partner provided a complete list of plants to incorporate in design and owner did not give list to designer. Therefore, design did not incorporate plants we wanted and we did not use any of design.
