Paradise Restored

We found them via good reviews on Angie’s List and here, and of the three contractors we had out to bid our landscape job, they were the most responsive and provided a fair priced bid. Once on the job, we were thrilled with the high level of care and communication during the job, especially by the foreman on site, and the attention to doing things the way we wanted. Our job involved adding a gravel sitting area, a new lawn area, several gravel paths and some blackberry removal. Other than the additional tasks we asked for while the job was going, they stuck to their bid price and the quality of the work was very good. Things like hand digging around roots of our tree, rearranging rocks, clean up and pleasant attitudes made this a great experience. They did delay our start a couple of days and take a couple of days longer to finish, but not enough to make us unhappy. Ask for Pastor on your job, he’s terrific.

I would not recommend anyone else to landscape your yard!
I interviewed a couple companies before deciding on Paradise Restored. Their pricing was pretty much in line with the other companies, but what stood out about them was the type of conversation we had. My original vision was WAY outside my budget. They talked with me about different cost saving options and comparable finishes with the same feel for much less expense. I felt as though they were on my side to save money rather then trying to «sell» or «shame» me for a bigger paycheck.
John Burngardt, my project manager, was not only friendly, but very responsive. I always got a call back the same day. All my concerns were resolved quickly and questions answered clearly. The end result is better than my original vision. Thank you Paradise restored for a great experience, and wonderful back yard!

Blows leaves around every week, but does NOT pick up leaves and trash.
Blows leaves and pine cones into neighbor’s yard, where they continue to accumulate.
Marginal results at best.

Paradise Restored goes above and beyond to care for our yard. They are professional, prompt, provide outstanding customer service, and keep our yard looking great year round.

Paradise Restored has been maintaining our low maintenance yard for several years. They keep the beds weeded, the trees and shrubs pruned, and the walks and driveway clear of debris. They do it all with minimal oversight needed by me. When I need something additional done, like barkdusting, or somethig done sooner (like the ornamental grass pruned back a bit earlier than normal, they are very accomodating. Very reasonable prices.

Paradise Restored has serviced my property for the last few years and I am always happy with their work. They show up every week to mow my grass and clean up my property. I have a small simple yard but it is the best looking yard on my street.

I had a simple fall leaf cleanup and debris removal. John was accommodating and his crew professional. Pastor was quick, efficient and thorough. Even going the extra mile to take care of weeds and areas that he noticed needed help. I was thoroughly impressed and plan on using then again.

1 star is too deserving for someone who took my money and left. $ 2000 for a landscape design that was supposed to be 3d and only included a cheap picture. Took credit for a driveway that another builder did. Verified that with the owner of the house myself

That’s too bad this company has gotten two poor reviews. My husband and I have had a good experience with them for the most part.
Micah, the owner, has been relatively quick to return calls/​emails (and quick by contractor standards meaning could be same day, could be the next, could be the following week). But every time I’ve interacted with him he’s been courteous and friendly and very accommodating to our needs.
We used Micah and his crew to help us build a rain garden by connecting two gutter downspouts underground, feeding the water into an in-​ground 50 gallon well that would overflow into a river rock bed in our front yard during high rains. They were able to do the job in 1.5 days and were cool to add on an additional system in our back yard when we saw how well things were going. Both projects took two days total to complete.
Pros: Micah was friendly. The staff at his office also seemed friendly when I interacted with them via phone or email. We had this installed in early October and so far it seems to have done the job we all assumed it would do. No more flooding in our lawn! Micah introduced us to his crew and the point person for the project was very approachable and seemed to understand our needs. They also started earlier than anticipated
Cons: Although they started earlier than anticipated, I was called at 7:15am of the new start date that they wanted to start sooner and they were already headed over. Luckily I obsessively check my emails when I wake up! Also, I was hoping they’d finish up in a day (for the first rain garden), as we were initially told but it ended up being two. Furthermore, apparently they take Fridays off so with our project starting on Thursday, it wasn’t actually completed until Monday. Lastly, they dug up lots of clay dirt to lay down the piping and place a 2^nd well. Instead of hauling away the dirt like they did with the front yard, they just redistributed it in our back yard.
We wrote them an email to ask them to please remove the dirt as it is completely useless soil, if you can call it that, since it was primarily made up of rock and clay and also it seemed lazy for them to just leave it behind when they didn’t do that with the front. This business responded right away to take care of it and within a couple days they crew was there to remove it. And they did a fine job of removing it. Somehow managed to keep everything neat and tidy. We really appreciated them following though with this.
We look forward to working with them next spring to move on to the next stage in our landscape redesign, which will likely be a paver patio.

Needed some help with our yard asap. After much research my husband and I decided to go with this company. The woman who answered the phone was very nice and was trying to be helpful getting us scheduled for the services we needed. She was asking the owner if they could fit us in and he was yelling in the back round rudely «NO» and after my husband asked if they could recommend someone else he yelled «NO» again.
I realize that this is summer time and is obviously a very busy time for landscaping companies, but being treated with disrespect and talked to condescendingly is not acceptable. We where all ready to sign a contract for a year to have them service our yard. I am happy to say that we found someone that realizes that customer service and respect are what truly means the difference between getting new clients during these hard economic times. I truly hope they realize that landscaping is a service that is not a needed service and is purely a luxury: so maybe try a little harder next time to accommodate people and if not that, how about a little maturity when «Yelling» at future customers.

We have had Paradise Restored do our landscaping for a long time. They have been punctual and courteous and worth every penny. Rain or Shine they get the job done. I would never have anyone but them work in my yard around my family. Now they have added custom wrought iron gates, railings, arbors, gazebos and more. I have seen the videos of their work and now I can wait to have some custom iron work done to add to the beauty of my landscaped yard. Here are the videos for any Portlander that has been thinking about beautifying their yard.

Oh here is there main website too.
