Paradise Ponds & Landscaping created an amazing sanctuary in my backyardFrom a rectangle of sod to a beautiful sitting area and pondless waterfall! Their employees were always friendly and respectfulThank you [redacted] for giving me the backyard of my dreams!

Great vision...great design...awesome ideas! Fabulous team to work with!
We inherited a disaster of a yard when we bought our homeDarin saw past the "ugly, unmaintained" and envisioned beautiful landscaping with exceptional detailsHe spent time visiting with us and walking the property to ensure he had a feel for what we wanted...he genuinely cares about providing exactly what you're looking forAnd if you don't know what that is, he has incredible vision to make the most of what you have
Darin and his team are the hardest working, most professional people we've worked withThey definitely went above and beyond!

My "extreme backyard makeover" began with a few vague ideas, a sketch, and a phone call to PPLDarin surveyed the desert that my back yard had become and didn't run away screaming, :) He incorporated our ideas, added a few of his own, and then his crew came and blasted through in three days what would have taken me yearsMany yearsThey dug down to the dirt and graded the yard, and then proceeded to create a xeriscaped space that is simple but beautifulPPL does some amazing work with water features, lighting, buifire pits, and much more, as evidenced by the photos on their websiteThese are lovely, but "easy to maintain" was my #priorityMy yard has a clean look nowBuh-bye, dandelions! Best of all, it will continue to grow in beauty as the shrubs and flowers continue to flourishThanks to Darin and the crew of Corey, Ryan, Ian, and Troy for your great attitudes, hard work, and the awesome "oldies" radio station you playedYou guys are my landscaping heroes!

The folks at Paradise Ponds & Landscaping were a pleasure to work withDarin came to our home and, as we walked around the property, came up with numerous ideas and suggestionsThey worked with us to form a plan within our budget and completed the work on time far exceeding our expectations

Paradise Ponds does outstanding landscaping work at a competitive price. Darin will work with you to help you develop your ideas within your budget. The communication before, during and after the job is good. We have had them do multiple jobs including rebuild retaining walls installed by someone else; remove an existing concrete patio and sidewalk; install paving stone patio and sidewalk, stone walkways and make drainage improvements including french drains.

The crew is a pleasure to have working in the yard.

It is unfortunate that Mathew H had a bad experience. This is definitely an exception. Paradise Ponds came recommended to me by a neighbor and has done a lot of work in our neighborhood with no complaints.

We have worked with Paradise Ponds & Landscaping for over five years and have always enjoyed fantastic results! They have helped us in two different homes with all types of projects including a complete pond make over, a new patio/pergola/fire pit, and routine maintenance of sprinklers and holiday lights. The quality of their work is excellent, and prices are reasonable. We truly value our relationship with this locally owned business, and look forward to more landscaping projects in the future!

Excellent work and customer service. I would recommend to anyone.

I spent several Thousand dollars with the company and the pindo palm that I paid to have put in Died in less than 6 mos. I called and was delayed for several months finally when I was out of town they showed up to my house to replace which I was unaware of because no one ever called me, but some friends were there visiting they called and said they could not get it done due to a car being in the way I spoke with the son of the owner he said he would be bake in 2 weeks. So fine this is good and all is well Just waiting... No one ever shows so I call the mother says there way behind but will get to it..... OK so basically 2 months + Passes and I call today 11/9/15 and am informed that I will need to pay 100.00 for them to do(Mind You there was never any mention of money until today. So I am Upset as anyone would be and said I would pay when they put the tree in. I get a call saying after that because I don't Like them That she ain't going to replace it Wow! really?? OK if that's How you do business fine! Good thing I have witnesses to this I have a Feeling that will help me in this. Oh And if they Choose to do what is right I will be more than happy to withdraw this complaint.

This 6 week project started off perfectly; They started working before we even signed the contract,(He came up with a total cost for our project. He told us 6 weeks it would be completed. We were clear on the price, the timeline, and the work to be done, we signed a contract and expected the work to be done in 6 weeks at the price he quoted us.) Things were great at the beginning, workers came almost everyday and did a great job installing a 19’ beam. They did a good job running wiring for the kitchen, and took their time to do it right. At first they were teaching us, to build a wood subfloor instead of pouring concrete like we thought would work. They did a great job at building a level sturdy floor. Everything was wonderful until then.
We had to educate them on how a radiant heat floor is installed properly on a wood subfloor, wee paid for the aluminum plates and they came back and installed it correctly. It was wonderful to see how fast they could do it, and they did a good job the second time. (We paid for the materials, and they did the work and told us it wouldn’t cost us extra because they did it wrong the 1st time.)
Then something went wrong, and we have no clue why they will not come back and finish our contract. He started printing off “addendums” and billing us for things that were not extra work.
All we are asking is for them to finish the kitchen at the price they have in our contract. But when we call, they keep giving us excuses and telling us to wait 2 weeks, and again we call and they tell us something else.
They were wonderful at first, but for some reason they will not finish the work in our contract. It has been over 6 months that I have been camping without cabinets. Things are looking like they will never come back to finish our contract.
If you are looking for someone to finish your project this is NOT the contractor to call.
