After the first of the year I decided it was time to make a lot of changes to our landscaping. I needed someone with vision and ideas. I first called a company whose name included "Design." The owner of that company showed up and I explained that I really didn't know what to do and needed some suggestions. He wasn't all that helpful but came up with a few ideas and said he would email me a quote. A few days later I called Jim's Paradise Creations. He came the next day and I started by telling him the same thing I told the first guy, that I had no real idea what to do. He walked my whole property, front and back, and overwhelmed me with ideas and possibilities! He had all kinds of samples in the back of his truck: tile, pavers, turf, rock, and plenty of photos to give me a visual sense of what I could do. If that wasn't enough, he then walked and measured my front, back, and side yards and gave me detailed quotes, which he guaranteed for 30 days. This was on the first day I met him! (a few days later I finally got the email quote from the first guy I called) I knew I was going to need to do things in phases because there is so much to do. I'm happy to report that phase one is now complete. Jim's crew showed up and got busy. These guys work hard, fast, they are professional, friendly, and they know what they're doing. We had a small amount of cool deck that was in need of a redo. They turned that small area into a nice, large deck and added another 12'x12' deck on the other side of our pool. They trimmed our trees beautifully and added more plants and a new drip system. We're very pleased with the result. It looks great! read more

I called Jim Gallegos owner of Paradise Creations Landscaping for help in designing my backyard. Jim answered my call immediately and said he would look at my backyard within 30 minutes. Jim came to my house within that time, looked at the yard, sat down at my kitchen table and wrote an estimate and a diagram of how he would design our yard. We hired his company, set a day for his company to start and Jim and his crew arrived as scheduled and worked until the job was done. The job took a good 10 days to complete. Jim built us a fireplace, waterfall and pond, awning and travertine flooring from our back door to the fireplace and pond. My husband likes to grow tomatoes and Jim built two huge raised planters. Jim also planted plants, and a tree and installed lighting and water pipes for the pond and plants. I cannot express the professionalism, expertise and amazing work that his company did. His job foreman was there every day the employees were there. The employees were clean and neat in their appearance. They used professional equipment and cleaned up the job every day before they left. If you want quality workmanship, professionalism, and expert work, I would say to you, hire Jim Gallegos, owner of Paradise Creations Landscaping 602-501-8857. Don't forget, he's a landscape designer. that makes all the difference in the world! read more

We had some unique challenges to address in redoing our backyard. Most of these challenges were as a result of four large, energetic dogs and their destruction of our lawn, rock borders and lights. Jim was able to work with us to figure out the best and most attractive ways to meet these design challenges including: travertine tile (lots of it), new curved borders for the lawn (beautiful sod lawn), installed a much more efficient pool backwash area with hidden pvc pipe and a river rock wash. No more dragging out backwash hoses ever again! They also installed new warm white LED lights for all of the trees and pathways. The last part of the project was to fill in the rock areas of our yard where over the last 20 years the landscape rock had literally disappeared leaving many areas of just dirt. His crews showed up at dawn and worked quickly and efficiently doing excellent work and cleaning up the job site at the end of each day. Our entire backyard was finished in under two weeks. It is so beautiful. At night, the lighting looks like a resort! We're very happy with the results and are just waiting another week before we can walk on the beautiful sod lawn. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jim and his crew of excellent workers!!! read more

I contacted about five companies. Jim's Paradise Creations Landscaping and one other landscaper kept the scheduled appointment. Jim was on time and ready to show what could be done. Another contractor, who appeared before Jim, said I could go to a showroom to see the kind of pavers I wanted, and his estimate was a flat price and no details on the estimate. Jim had a selection of pavers in the bed of his pickup truck. His estimate was sufficiently detailed with the cost estimate. Besides the fine overall job performed by Jim, my wife wanted a spot on the side of the house for her potting table. Jim's men put pavers where my wife could put her potting table. Besides being pleased with the finished job, my wife was happy about the place made for her potting table. W.D. read more

I enjoyed working with Jim and his crew for my yard renovation. He was prompt and courteous, which made the experience excellent. A few years ago he did some brick work for me which was pretty extensive. I have built upon that and am now considering an entire back yard landscaping project, which will include new cool decking and hard scape changes. He was able to show several samples and what would work best to enhance the brick work done previously. He has been a pleasure to work with, fair priced and always dependable to ensure his customers are satisfied with the end project results. I have recommended him several times and not had any negative feedback. Also have viewed some projects done for friends and they are very satisfied. read more

Just had a major project completed by Jim's Paradise Creations, and I couldn't be more happier. We had an L-shaped BBQ island created, a fireplace, and the whole patio and pool area were covered with travertine tiles. What a dramatic transformation to my back yard! If you contract Jim for a job, insist on having Elias as the crew chief for the project. Elias' knowledge of the business and leadership of his crew are second to none. Every step of the project was explained to me, and when Elias needed more details as to what I wanted done, he was quick to ask, instead of assuming what I wanted. We spend a lot of money for this project, but my backyard is now a retreat that I enjoy going to. Nice work Jim! read more

If you are looking for someone who is just as excited as you are about you project, Jim of Jim's Paradise Creations is your guy. He arrived at my house on a Saturday when other landscape companies we're not available on weekend days. He inquired about my ideas, listened intently, and then began drawing out my design in my yard by dragging his boot through the dirt. His truck is his office! He showed me rock, paver and turf samples on the spot! The job was finished within the promised time frame. I will warn you though, his prices are not for the faint of heart . read more

We had a large back area with pool and patio with terrible walkways and cracked old pavement. After Jim and his crew were finished we had a complete incredible Travertine paver enclosed patio and pool area that was just outstanding! And we are showing off our home and garden to all our friends and neighbors and telling them about Jim and his team. They were all nice folks and did a good job in a very short time period. Will recommend them to anyone who wants a great looking pool and patio. read more

Jim and his crew did a great job on my landscaping about 5 years ago. I have a very small backyard and was nervous about not being able to have exactly what I wanted. I am happy to say he was able to get me everything I wanted. Jim took the time to show me exactly how I could get everything I wanted. A fireplace, waterfall and a BBQ I I got it all and to top it off my yard looks larger than I could have imagined. Very reasonably priced and did an awesome job! read more

Great company to work with! Professional, hardworking and right on any little question I asked. I now have a yard, patio , and beautiful courtyard that I am so pleased with. It took me over a year to find a company to do the job I needed. Give them a call you will know as soon as you meet with Jim that this company is the way to go. They finished my project and are now doing our daughters home! read more

Jim gave us excellent advice and finish recommendations for a hardscaping renovation of our home in Verrado. Proved to be very flexible with many last minute changes we had come up with and actually started and finished ahead of schedule, much to our pleasure. His crew leader, Elias proved pleasant and had a great eye for detail. Cleanup was great. Would use his service again. read more

I have worked with many landscapers and have had by far the best experience with Jim and his crew. Prices were competitive, communication was good, and they finished ahead of schedule. He is a businessman who wants to earn as much as he can, but what do you expect? Competition is tough in the landscaping business. read more
