PARADISE LANDSCAPE & NURSERY

About us

Est.1986, we are family-owned & operated, located in Lawrence, just south of Geist Reservoir. Our company has the following divisions: retail garden center, wholesale nursery(over 100 acres of farm land), re-wholesale nursery, commercial/public installation & maintenance, residential design-build, and consulting. Residential estimates are generally performed within 1 week of initial contact. Committed jobs are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. With a staff of 7-10 employees, we tend to book up fast since we perform all work by our own forces. In the rare case of sub-contracting, we utilize providers from our own trusted peer network. Most work requires a 25% deposit for mobilization. Depending on the situation, partial financing options may be available. We install year-round. Our retail garden center is open to the public and has an extensive selection of the freshest trees, shrubs, perennials, and annual flowers that are all hardy to Indiana. We also carry bulk mulch, topsoil, compost, straw, stone, boulders, cobbles, and garden art. Delivery and tree installation are available upon request. Summer & Winter hours for garden center and nursery operations are subject to change. E-mail is highly encouraged for all inquiries. Otherwise, please call for appointment.

They have the best quality plants, I love their hanging baskets! I've searched about every nursery in the city and price and quality Paradise is the best. I've found $25 baskets there that other places would charge $50-$60 for. I don't live close to them, but go out of my way to use them. Highly recommend!

First of all, John was extremely helpful. He spent a lot of time with my wife and I and answered all of our questions. There was no pressure, no hype - just down to earth, relaxed and informative service.
The reason for my visit: I had an issue with one of John's competitors. I anxiously waited three weeks for a tree to be delivered. However, the day the tree was promised - after coordinating 811, mulch delivery and bed cleaning, I found out I would have to wait another week for the tree. Frustrated, I decided to visit Paradise Landscaping. John got me the tree I wanted and had it in the ground by the next day. John also supplied six hydrangeas, a rose bush and potting soil and still came in with a price below what I was going to pay for the tree that never came.
I enthusiastically recommend Paradise Landscape and Nursery!

The visit with John at their nursery was enjoyable.  He was friendly, professional, and thorough.  The installation of the new trees happened when I was away from home but I was pleasantly surprised to see the result and the nice clean up they did before leaving my property.

My wife and I stopped in to look for landscaping ideas. We were met by John Choi and he provided great information and suggestions but wasnt pushy and didnt hover over us while we looked. We ended up seeing 2 trees and a 2700lbs rock that we really liked. John worked with us on the price, delivery and install and made it easy.John came out to our house in the evening after supper and had me mark the exact location for the trees and the rock and he went right to work. After the installation John took the time to answer my many landscaping questions and then he thoroughly cleaned up the work site and left.I would highly recommend John and plan to use his services again very soon.

I visited Paradise and was helped by John.  I initially wanted red maples, however, after describing to John where the trees were going to be placed he made a few other suggestions.  Because the ground was in a low lying area, John suggested a couple birch options.  I decided to go with a burgundy leafed birch, with white bark on the stems.  These trees provided the variety necessary to thrive in wet soil and had the curb appeal I needed for the front yard.
John gave me a fair price on both the trees and the installation so I decided to have him do the entire project.  The trees were nearly 15 to 20 feet tall and had rather large root ball making it very difficult to both, dig holes, and plant.
 John's team of experts got right to work.  They were careful to not disturb any of my existing landscaping.  While planting they took great pride in making sure each tree was just right.  After the job was complete they clean up all areas and gave me instructions on how to care for my new trees.
The job could have not been any smoother from start to finish.  I plan on using them again in the near future.

John Choi was busy as a one-armed wallpaper hanger but gave me all the time I requested for interview, plant description and suggestions, plus sales. The workers were more than friendly and accommodating and the stock was BEAUTIFUL! 

Response from PARADISE LANDSCAPE & NURSERY
"Thank you for your kind comments, and I am glad that your experience was a pleasant one. I really appreciate your patience as you saw we were a little understaffed the day you came. What I find really refreshing is your passion, research, and hands-on involvement with your project. Admittedly, I was a little shocked with your specific plant requests; obviously you did your homework. For example, the choice of canadian hemlocks was right on target in regards to appropriate conditions, functionality, and aesthtetics. No doubt, you are applying your keen interior design eye to your outdoor space in regards to color contrast, flow/sequence, and the balancing of form and void. I admire your fervor and look forward to the opportunity to work with you and Property Pros Land Management in rendering your vision into a tangible reality. Sincerely yours, -John P.S.

We've been looking for a replacement for a tree that died last season, and decided on a Kwanzaan Cherry tree.  After a good bit of unsuccessful searching (every tree we found was too small), we discovered Paradise on Angie's List and gave them a call.  John Choi (manager) not only had the tree in the size we wanted, he emailed a picture to save us a trip to the nursery, and offered same-day delivery and installation at a very competitive price.  The crew arrived at the appointed time and fought through the root system of the old tree to prepare an appropriate spot to plant the new tree (in the rain).  They installed the tree. cleaned up the area, left watering and care instructions, and even left some discount coupons for future purchases at the Nursery.  John followed up with us to make certain we were happy with the job, and was very friendly and helpful throughout the process (plus, he's a Cubs fan). The tree looks beautiful and we'll certainly make Paradise our first call for future needs.

"Member, thank you for the kind comments. Sometimes all the stars align, and things work out for the best. We just happened to have your kwanzan in stock(it literally came off the truck just a few days before you called). However, none of this could have happened without your short-notice accommodation; you actually did us a big favor since we had a tight window opening in which our crew was free. I hope you enjoy your tree and look forward to your visiting our shop. No doubt, at the least, we can wax poetic over the mythical days of yore including cub legends Jerome Walton, 'Dewey' Smith, Lester Lancaster, & Doug Dascenzo. The Shawon-O-Meter is on the up-tick... Be comforted, that Paradise Nursery is Cubs country."

We were very pleased with the service we received from Paradise Nursery.  Mr. Choi, helped us decide what plants would be suit our needs and offered us great advice on how to maintain the plants.  The plants we purchased have been very healthy and even did well during the drought last year.  Mr. Choi even ordered a tree that he did not have without hesitation and contacted us upon its arrival.  Overall, we have been very pleased with the services and products that Paradise Nursery Offers.  We would highly recommend Paradise Nursery and Landscape.
Response from PARADISE LANDSCAPE & NURSERY
"Thank you for your kind comments. We really appreciate your continued business, loyalty, and support. I think what has been really refreshing for me at least has been your receptivity to new ideas and your willingness to run with them while incorporating your own style. Hopefully I helped to demystify the landscape design process(it is not rocket science); with a little guidance, you really took the reins and can no doubt take great satisfaction and pride in that 'you did that." Over the past 2 years I have enjoyed our back-and-forth design banter and have come to view the both of you as not only valued clients, but also as friends. Thank you again for your support."
