  We recently completed a large, complex backyard project with Paradise Designs, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From the very beginning, Don worked closely with us to establish a clear vision and design, patiently incorporating many revisions as we refined what we wanted. His responsiveness and guidance throughout the design process were outstanding. Once the design was finalized, Paradise Designs brought in two large, highly professional crews—one focused on hardscape and another on trenching, digging, and drainage. Both teams were extremely hardworking, well-staffed, and clearly experienced. They used the right tools and equipment to work efficiently without sacrificing quality, often putting in long hours to keep things moving. Paradise Designs coordinated seamlessly with a wide range of other trades and vendors, including electricians, a general contractor, shade structure specialists, the spa and crane team, the gardener responsible for irrigation and planting, quartzite countertop fabrication, and multiple product suppliers. Everyone they worked with commented on how easy and helpful Paradise Designs was to collaborate with. Despite multiple project delays due to weather, permitting, and manufacturer delivery issues, none of the delays were caused by Paradise Designs. Throughout the project, they were easy to schedule, quick to respond, and always available when questions or changes came up. Any issues that arose were fixed quickly, correctly, and professionally. The scope of work was extensive and included a sunken vault for a Bullfrog spa with a sump pump and beautiful TimberTech framing, a large porcelain-tile patio with integrated drainage, including footings for a shade structure and a new sliding panel back door, new gas and water lines, and completely updated drainage. The project also included a large L-shaped outdoor kitchen with quartzite countertops and porcelain siding, a fire pit and lounging area, a cantilevered umbrella set in concrete, and several thoughtful custom touches that make the space both functional and elegant. Pricing was fair and transparent, with no surprises. The only cost increases were due to our own change orders as we decided to add more features. Don was always responsive to changes and helped us think through decisions so we felt confident in every choice. We would absolutely use Paradise Designs again for future projects and can’t recommend them highly enough.

  Outstanding Hedge Replacement – Excellent Work by Paradise Designs After several disappointing experiences with other landscape contractors, working with Don Kansteiner and Paradise Designs was truly a breath of fresh air. From our very first meeting, Don was professional, knowledgeable, straightforward, and a pleasure to deal with. His proposal was clear, detailed, and very reasonably priced. The work itself was impeccable. Don and his crew were meticulous, efficient, and clearly took pride in doing things right. Every aspect of the project, from removing our old hedge to planting the new trees and installing the irrigation system, was handled with great care and attention to detail. It is refreshing to find a contractor who combines professionalism, fair pricing, and such high-quality workmanship. I couldn't be happier with the experience and would highly recommend Don and Paradise Designs to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled landscaping contractor.

  This organization operates at an exceptionally high professional standard. Although I did not directly engage their services, I had the opportunity to observe their work on a property. The team members demonstrated remarkable efficiency, exceptional skill, and a consistently amiable demeanor. I have proactively secured their contact information for future projects on our own property, reflecting my profound satisfaction with their performance. I am particularly impressed by the quality of their accomplishments within such a condensed timeframe. Their work is truly impeccable. All of them deserve a grande applause!

  Paradise Design were fantastic! Don K and his team did an amazing job and were very responsive during the process. From pedestal paving throughout patio and outdoor kitchen, to a 1-of-a-kind water feature and extensive California native landscaping with ‘night sky sensitive’ lighting, as well as a gorgeous concrete and integrated turf drive — the final result is simply amazing. Highly recommend the Paradise team.

  We feel fortunate that we had Nick Flores as our landscape lead. He is a natural people-person, adept at supervising large teams of workers, and extremely proficient in his skills for outdoor design. He listened carefully to what we wanted, took us to personally select the stones and plants, and then used his unique creative vision to reimagine our yard. As if that wasn’t enough, he carefully and patiently helped guide us through the city process for getting a nice turf removal rebate. We are delighted over the results and recommend both Nick and Paradise Designs highly.
