Description of Work: We had them completely re-landscape our backyard, including building a pergola and removing old stone in order to install new, smaller stones. They were very punctual, very personable, and did an excellent job of cleaning up after themselves. The yard is beautiful and I highly recommend this company to everyone!

Did not use this provider.
Description of Work: I used another provider that gave me just a little more for my money. However, I want to stress that this company was most professional and punctual. I would feel totally comfortable obtaining another quote from them in the future. Brent took the time to explain everything in detail and was very professional. He provided me with a written quote that included line item pricing allowing me to pick and choose what I wanted done.

Had to call back owner for second visit for him to finalize what he committed to do. Some lines still not repaired despite owner's assurance. Owner indicated some plants were dead and should be removed but that proved untrue when same plants leafed out, so his claim of knowledge of landscape plants can't be trusted. On the plus side, 90% of work done correctly and timely, his workers were helpful and responsive, his prices very good compared to others.

Response from Whelchel Landscaping & Construction
When we initially started the member's project all work was to be completed on a per man hour price we used all measures possible to make the most efficient use of time for cost savings to the member. Planting of new plants was not in the original bid but, was completed to accommodate the member's request. To stay within the time/cost restraint of the member less significant problems of the member's existing irrigation were not repaired but were reported to the customer. The second visit referred to by the member was to examine his landscape plan, again not within the original bid. The member requested that we label his plan with identifications of emitter size and type for each plant in their extensive landscape, some of which we had not even worked on. It was expressed to the member that this was not part of the original agreement and the time it would require to be invested in such a venture would be chargeable to which the member declined. The plants in question had not received water in months according to the member and were in an obvious dormant state. When I spoke with the member I stated that I was unsure if the plants would recover from dormancy due to lack of water. At no time was it suggested that the plants needed to be removed unless they did not recover this season.

Bill and his entire crew were professional from start to finish. During the estimate, Bill was able to offer several helpful ideas and suggestions. The quality of the work was excellent and took place over three days. They did a nice job in terms of working with what was already in place in order to save time and cost. We are very happy with our new extremely low-maintenance yard!
Description of Work: Removed grass, creeping vine, and russian sage bushes. Installed gravel, boulders, several small bushes, and a pine tree. Tapped into existing irrigation system for use with all new plant life.

I called Mr. Whelchel after 6 pm on the Friday before the holiday very concerned about an apparent leak in my sprinkler system. He was very kind and had an employee at my house by 11:00 am the next day. The employee determined what the problem was and made a temporary fix. Mr. Whelchel didn't charge me for this service as I will be using his services to redo my patio area including moving the sprinkler system to another area.
Description of Work: An employee came out and dug up a leaking sprinkler system and determined what the problem was and fixed it. There was no charge for this service as I will be using them for a bigger project in February

The work performed was of high quality, but getting them to do the work was very frustrating. On 5/02/09 the sales representative promised the job would be performed within two weeks and completed in 1 day. After not hearing from them after almost two weeks, I called and was told they would do the work no later than 5/26. When I came home at 11:30 AM on 5/26, the existing rocks and plants were gone, but so were the contractors. After 1:00 I called to find out what was going on and was reassured they would return later in the afternoon to complete the job. No one showed up. I called again on 5/27 at 9:30 AM and was told by the sales rep that the truck had a flat tire. I called the job foreman to get an estimate of when the job would be completed and he said his truck was broken but didn't know what was wrong. I asked if he could get another truck and he said he would check with the owner and someone would call back. No one called back until the following day (5/28), when another crew was sent to complete the job.
Description of Work: In a curbside 4' by 36' area, removed weeds, dirt, and rocks and installed a weed barrier, decorative rocks, and 3 plants.

I am sorry the customer was unhappy overall with the project. We did have a problem with that particular foreman and his crew about the time this project was underway. That crew was let go and another crew went and completed the project in a professional manner. The customer got a quality product in what I feel was a timely fashion.

The crew came when it promised. The superviser made sure of what we wanted done and made sure the crew would do it that way. The crew was professional and hard-working. From time to time, crew members asked us questions to make sure they were doing what we wanted. The new plant material was even better quality than we had hoped. The supervisor comes back to make sure that all was done properly and to get paid. One bush was not centered properly, but the supervisor corrected it on the spot. Touch of Paradise is the most responsive and professional landscaper that we have ever engaged.
Description of Work: We used Angie's List to get estimates from two landscapers. We needed to replace 4 photinias and have two trees trimmed and staked. Of the two, we best liked Touch of Paradise. Both estimates were well justified. The estimater came when promised and gave us a date for the work.

Bill and his staff were the dream team every homeowner hopes to have when they hire a contractor. From day one, they arrived promptly, were extremely knowledgeable about their jobs, and demonstrated extraordinary pride in their workmanship. They cleaned up every day, and were attentive to any changes or questions that arose and would consult with me on every new phase to make sure we were pleased with the progress. The job was estimated to take between 4-6 weeks, they started on the 22nd of September and completed on October 30. Every sub contractor recommended by Bill held the same high standards, (gas and electricity). I cannot express how pleased my husband and I are as we enjoy our new living area day and night. Our neighbors have commented on how lovely it is and have asked for Touch of Paradise Landscape information. My husband and I rate this team a AAA!
Description of Work: Hired Touch of Paradise Landscaping to build the front patio of our dreams. They extended the existing patio and built a new stucco wall (with latilla windows), a swirl bonco, bricked the entire new expanse, created a water feature and put in a fire pit. In the back yard they bricked our patio. They put cultured stone on the front and back of our home as accent. In addition, they installed a drip watering system in the front and back areas of our home.

They always returned my calls, came when they said, and gave me good advice as to what plants would thrive. I am thinking of having them back again in the next year to put in a water feature.
Description of Work: I had they typical Westside backyard. Sand and not much else. I hired them in the Spring of 2004 and they put in a drip system and planted some trees and bushes. When one of the bushes died, they came back and replaced it without a problem. I hired them back the next year and had them build a raised garden for me and some additional trees and shrubs.
