Very well and have greatly appreciated their work over the years- do an excellent job of keeping my yard/landscaping and if I have any questions/concerns, there is an immediate response. I will keep on using their services.

They listened and executed in a timely and accurate manner. We're really happy with the end result--a beautiful walkway that matches the style of the house. When our requested design didn't actually make sense when translated to reality, they offered us a revised idea that would work better and it did. And they were a pleasure to deal with. Really pleased.

We also used Whirlwind this summer for our regular lawn mowing. They come every week and do a nice job mowing the lawn for a reasonable price.
For the leaf cleanup, they came and cleaned everything up within a couple of hours, including the plant beds and the path to our front door. We were very pleased.

Whirlwind is owned by Chris and Suzanne Baxter. Suzanne was wonderful to work with by phone and email regarding sending the estimate,  answering questions, scheduling the job,  and following up. She got back to me very quickly whenever I had a question. Chris was also great to work with . He and his crew were always on time, were very nice, explained everything and were  professional as well as very skilled.  We are very happy with the job they did.
This company's prices were very fair. Other estimates I got were higher in price and I wasn't as happy with their proposed ideas.
Our new walkway looks better than I imagined and our garden and yard look fantastic. We would use Whirlwind again and will recommend them to our neighbors and friends.

We were very happy with them. They did a lovely job. We had long requirements just a little box and they did that beautifully. I was very pleased. They were great. The husband does takes care of managing the crew and all the technical staff but whenever you call you leave a message with the wife and she makes sure you'll get answers right away, there's immediate follow-up and that's a good formula. This is a good team; it works well.

They are terrific. They do high quality work and they are responsive. They are wonderful. The guy really knows what he's doing. They are very professional. I've used them 3 times in the past. I've spent several thousand dollars. Their prices are at the higher end of some estimates I've gotten but their work is worth it. The price is acceptable.

He was a nice guy and he did a good job. I was super pleased. He was super. What I like about him is that his wife took care of the back office stuff which meant that anytime I call or left a message she was great about making sure the call was returned. The way they worked was as a team. They were fabulous. He is great to work with. His price was right on. He came when he promised.

Chris and his crew did a wonderful job and we are very pleased with the look and sturdiness of the wall and path. They were very easy to work with and Chris was very flexible with us when we requested some design changes. Their work was not only professional but they did some artistic touches to the walkway that we were surprised and pleased with. They are pretty pricey but not much more than other companies we researched. We would highly recommend them
