EXCELLENT Based on 77 reviews Barb Connell2025-02-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I hired Whelchel landscape several years ago for a backyard project that we are still enjoying. We decided to use their services for a complete redo of our front yard. Kelly Ann helped me with the design and Dmitri, Mario and the rest of the crew removed old plants and trees, laid gravel, planted juniper and piñon, built a stuccoed courtyard wall, laid pavers inside the courtyard , and ran all new irrigation. Everyone was friendly, professional, and easy to work with. I highly recommend this company James Butscher2025-02-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Samantha, Ray, Cory and his crew were outstanding! Our backyard was rather boring to say the least. It was a square brick patio with square turf. Samantha and Ray created a concept with curved lines , trees, and other plants of varying heights to create visual interest. Cory and his crew executed that vision, and now our backyard looks warm and welcoming. The work was expertly done with great attention to detail in just a few days. The crew was friendly and fun, and they took great care to respect our space and keep everything neat and clean during construction. They were the best remodeling/construction crew we’ve ever used, and we’ve done a fair bit of remodeling over the years. john stroh2025-02-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with the Whelchel team, from design to customer service to workmanship to professionalism. The team helped us with design, having great ideas about plants. The work started in a reasonable timeframe as promised and was completed in a timely manner. Communication with Sam was very easy as she was always responsive to our requests for information.

They answered all my questions and did a fantastic job on the yard. They are a great team and I'm glad we close Whelchel Landscape and Construction to redo our yard.

Stephanie Cook2024-11-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Exceptionally knowledgeable and professional, from the beginning to the end of the project. The entire Whelchel Landscaping team inspired confidence. We found they had a wide array of skills and were able to take on tasks that other companies wouldn’t. Thank you to Kelly Ann in particular for coordinating the project and communicating clearly, and to David for leading the team at the site. We were pleased to see the owner even show up to make sure things were going smoothly. We look forward to working with you again soon. Steven B2024-11-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I needed landscaping done for my newly built house. I already had what I wanted drawn up and Kelly Ann added some detail and suggested some changes to make it better. She was great to work with. Isaiah and his crew came and did a great job and it turned out as I was hoping for. I especially appreciate that they had fixed a paver that was cracked near the end of the job without even having to point it out to them. They also came and tried some different sprinkler heads to find ones that worked best for my lawn after the job was done and they were already paid. I would definitely use them again! Lisa Gonzales2024-11-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Whelchel Landscape turned our small dirt backyard into a larger, much more comfortable and relaxing family space! We are so grateful for both our designer, Kelly Ann, to our landscaper David and his crew! They were so efficient and completed our job in a timely manner. We truly appreciate their professionalism and hard work!
