It has taken me nearly a year to write this review, but I am actually glad that I waited. Peter made the landscaping process easy, and I really appreciated his attention to detail. The days he and his team were here were low stress and they cleaned up well. It's been about 10 months since everything was installed and here's what I can say - we have had zero problems with the lighting, the drip system, and the general quality of the installation is great. A few smaller plants died, but I expected that, and establishing new plants was easy with the drip system. The native shrubs and the tree are thriving, they look great, and are easy to maintain, which was what I wanted. 5 stars for sure! read more

This is an enthusiastic recommendation for Peter Hamill, a landscape contractor I have worked with during a rebuild of my garden. I found Peter very easy to work with, accommodating to changes to the plan as the work progressed. He and his workers were detail oriented, knowledgeable and very focused and professional. He designed and installed a comprehensive drip irrigation system. His services included soil amendments and planting of new and transplanted plants. I was very pleased and recommend him highly.

Peter did a fabulous job on our church property which is quite extensive. The drip irrigation system originally installed by another company was not efficient and he replaced all of it with a traditional sprinkler system. He also cleaned up plants that were dying and replaced with plants more appropriate for the exposure they received. His understanding of the kinds of plants that would survive in each area around the church made all the difference. It's been several months since the install and our church property just shines! In addition to his understanding of plants and watering, he was a delight to work with; he understood our concerns and patiently answered every question! read more

Peter Hamill and his crew did a fabulous job on installing all of my new plants, complex irrigations systems, timers, programing of timers. They are very professional, efficient, and reasonably priced. I highly recommend. read more

Sod removal, reposition of sprinklers and installation of drip sprinkler system, installation of flagstone on a sand base, installation of a 120 gfci electrical outlet. Hauling away sod and cleanup of remaining items from job site. My wife and I are extremely pleased with the planning, workmanship and finished product (for our backyard). Peter and associates delivered on their promise (contract). We appreciated their timeliness, advice and communication we received prior to and during all aspects of the project, pride and professionalism, expertise, and commitment to excellence. The cost was fair for the project. Peter and associates have our unqualified endorsement for your landscape project. read more

Peter Hamill Landscape & Design turned our seemingly confined space into the garden of our dreams. The pathway itself is a work of art. Each stone was trimmed and placed with care. The result is a pathway that is both functional and magical. Utilizing plants carefully chosen by Kamal of Armstrong Nursery, Peter and his team filled in the surrounding area. Lighting subtly highlights the plants and pathway. Would it be bragging to say our garden looks like something you'd find only at a resort? I think not. Thank you, Peter Hamill Landscape & Design for making our days (and nights) more delightful than we'd ever imagined. read more

I called early (before most businesses open) and he immediately returned the call. My irrigation system was not working. The yard had not been watered for a week. Peter is kind, hard working, thorough. I could not have been more pleased. I consider him a gift. The replacement "clock" is simple enough that I can manage it by myself. I consider his price quite reasonable. I had expected a much more expensive installation. He didn't try to influence me. He was willing to install the same type of "clock" I had before; however, it was complex and I could not manage it without help. I am single and like to have people around me that I can trust and count on. Peter fits that bill. read more

I am very pleased with the work that Peter Hamill and his crew did on my landscaping project. He was very willing to work with me on the budget and communication was good. What I appreciated most was his willingness to go above and beyond, clearing areas that were supposed to be done by other people. Thank you for your hard work. :) read more

Contacted several landscaping companies to provide quotes for extensive work to be completed and Peter was quick to respond so I confirmed an appointment but he was a no call, no show. When I asked why, all he said was "sorry, I forgot." read more

We "opened" our landscape plan with Armstrong in AUGUST 2017! Due to their designers failure to communicate and coordinate, after threatening to cancel a $2,000 job, they asked Peter to call us. This was early December!! Peter responded within one day, came out 2 days later, we figured out the hardscape design and made the plan for him to do it right after the holidays. He never let us down and we are SO HAPPY with what we now have. His pricing was right on, he communicated regularly, he worked with our schedule needs and a plus was our doggie, Mako, loved him! We are so happy with the final result. We would hire him again in a split second! Bob and Pat Tomlin read more

Peter recently installed a flagstone walkway, flowerbeds, irrigation, lighting, drainage features, decorative wall and matching driveway. He is extremely knowledgeable and talented. I provided an overview of my interest and making some modifications to my home and with that information he created an amazing result. I cannot express how much I appreciate his workmanship, honesty and integrity. read more

Hamill & Associates - David R's yard - Landscaping Near Me

Last week I went to Armstrong Nursery and purchased several new plants to be planted. Since I have a black thumb -- I needed someone to come and remove several shrubs and new plants to plant. Armstrong Nursery in HB contracted out with Peter who called me on Friday to arrange a time on this past Monday and arrived with his crew of two. They removed my shrubs and did a fantastic job in planting the flowers. I asked about tree trimming and he said that he does that also. I will definitely call Peter Hamill in early September to complete my yard with the tree trimming service. read more

I need to rewrite my review (glowing) from last summer: Peter was very easy to work with while I was paying him cash-- my first mistake-- and writing checks for materials (another mistake, but at least I have records). Plants were delivered and left in the summer heat, often without water while the hardscape was being dug. He said-- I have the emails-- that he would replace plants that died. He didn't. I asked him to help me dig holes to replace the plants that died with ones I purchased. He said he'd help. He never showed. I asked him to come over and look at the plants he planted six months ago. I wanted to show him that the ones I planted three weeks ago have already progressed beyond his. Peter's response to this last request was an offer to come over, bargain with me on a price, and then "be done" with me. As he remembers things, I did not pay him completely for the last job. He is as rude as he is wrong. I have records. I doubt he does: he took cash and ran. (Are you listening IRS?) He won't be bidding on any future work in my neighborhood. read more

Although Peter did a great job on the initial install he failed to do the follow-up he promised. He promised to replace any plants that died. When a couple did die I contacted him and he said he would come over. I made several calls to him and the bottom line is he never returned to fix the problem and failed to show on several occasions when he said he would. read more

Peter did excellent work. I wanted a landscaping renovation which required creative work as well as do-per-instruction. He cleaned up areas that had hopelessly over grown. He suggested locations and moved some plants to better locations. He installed cement mow strips. His price was right. He was gracious and responsive to change requests from my wife. Great clean-up, finished when he said he would be done. I am completely satisfied. read more

Peter Hamill and his crew were a delight and a relief to work with. I had been warned how difficult it is to find an honest and competent contractor considering the negative environment we are surrounded in today, so did a little research and got some recommendations before making a final choice. I am happy to say, I definitely chose the right guy. Peter and his team worked harmoniously together, and were totally in tune with my needs and concerns. They are respectful to the client and each other at all times. My home is old and my yard had basically not been touched in about 40 years. He started a job with many challenges and met them all. To name just a few, Peter is a "hands on" guy, and was physically on the job for the entire time his crew was working at my home. Peter is honest, professional, knowledgeable and was always compassionate to my situation. He is a man who listens to your concerns, makes suggestions, follows through with them, goes the extra mile, and is always on time. When you call him, he returns your call in a timely manner. Peter is also flexible to changes. He did some additional things such as repairing some badly damaged cement areas, carted away a lot of junk that had been lying around, exacerbating the disheveled look of the yard, and added a few unexpected extras to make caring and maintaining the yard a lot easier for me. As the job developed, things came up that I wanted to add or change, and he was always amenable to addressing unexpected situations. Last, but definitely not least, his price was extremely reasonable, based upon the excellent quality of work and service he provided me. I am totally satisfied with my new yard, and I highly recommend Peter Hamill Landscape and Design. You will not be disappointed. read more

They left a mess and killed some of my plant. Peter was never there to supervise his workers. Very unprofessional. Terrible job!! read more

Peter is very professional and does great work. My project was through Armstrong Nursery (whom I don't recommend) but contracted Peter to do the project. I was stressed because part of the work needed to be done quickly. Peter understood my needs and had that part done very quickly. Actually it was completed when I got home that evening! Highly recommend. read more

Peter Hamill is very knowledgeable about taking care of plants and trees. I recently moved to Long Beach to a home with citrus and palm trees. He helped me understand what needs to be done to keep my backyard beautiful! Thank you Peter! You are amazing! read more

This guy brags about "being here today and tomorrow" but he took my money and ran

A treasure for us OC folks wanting custom landscaping, extremely high quality work, great attention to detail, Peter is a very hands-on guy and closely watches the quality and workmanship of his team every step of the way. I found him very creative and easy to work with. When an issue came up (as it always does) and we appeared to have a misunderstanding of the scope of work, he listened to my side and was willing to work with me. Finding a contractor who does what they say they will do is not always easy, but Peter did not increase costs and he was very flexible as my ideas changed a bit here and there. He was fairly priced, not the cheapest but not the most expensive by a long shot. He is really top notch and very creative but practical as well. I will definitely be using him again. read more

Peter did a great job! He is knowledgeable and very receptive to the customer's ideas and wishes. I didn't have any major issues, but with the small concerns, he responded quickly and appropriately. I would recommend him with out reservations. I love my new back yard! read more

Peter was the third contractor I called for an estimate to install a sprinkler system in my front yard & parkways. Since I had a good deal of hardscape to work around, the job required some thoughtful engineering. Peter's layout was the cleanest most efficient plan and his quote was well below any other estimates I had received. He and his crew showed up on time and finished the job in a day and a half where other contractors said it would take 4-5 days. A week later he stopped by the house to make sure everything was working to my satisfaction. Peter is an experienced, trustworthy tradesman who knows his craft. He does an outstanding job and takes good care of his client's wishes at a price few can beat. You'll not go wrong trusting your job to this company. read more

I had offers from several companies revered to me by Armstrong Nursery, who coordinated my landscape design/install. Mr. Hamill's company was the lowest bid and said they would handle several areas that were not covered by the arrangement with Armstrong. They did what they stated they would do in a timely and efficient manner. I was pleased with the results. read more
