We highly recommend North County Landscaping.
Furthermore, his crew was incredible to work with. My project manager, Paul, was on top of everything, always keeping me up to date on the project and addressing any questions I had. Luis and Cesar, the landscapers on my project, were knowledgeable, professional, highly skilled, and meticulous during demo and installation. They left the job site clean every day. I expected this project to take at least a couple of weeks. The crew completed the work beautifully in 7 business days. I couldn't be happier with the results. My only regret is not taking "before" pictures, as I can't believe this is my backyard now. I'm looking forward to summer so I can spend more time in my beautiful outdoor space.
The turf they installed in our front yard is high quality and a huge improvement over the dead lawn we used to have. It looks fantastic, feels soft underfoot, and is durable enough for both our kids and our dog to play on. Our whole family is already enjoying it every day.
The installation crew was equally impressive—friendly, courteous, professional, and thorough in cleaning up once the job was finished. We're really happy with the transformation and highly recommend North County Lawn Care to anyone considering turf installation.
I wish I had before photos to show because everywhere was overgrown, unkept, and messy! They did such a great job cleaning up every detail. We had an overwhelming amount of English ivy that had taken over the side of our deck, our rose bush, and most of our planter areas. Not only did they take it out, they left no trace of those pesky leaves! They did a wonderful job trimming all of our trees, hedges, and bushes! Thank you so much and getting rid of all the weeds! It feels like a totally brand new home! Thank you so much!!!
We had a crew (Luis, Juan, Jose Jr., Jose V, and Dylan) working on our landscaping for our new home in Semiahmoo. They listened to us when we gave them instructions, answered our questions, and seemed to care about doing a great job. After they completed their work, they did a great job cleaning up, too.
They are professional, courteous, thorough, and knowledgeable. These guys are a true asset to NCLC!
I should add that I hired North Country because of how well they maintain my neighbor's property and the great job they did on their patio project!
The day of: Kevin, Paul and his crew were on site; punctual and well prepared. I greatly appreciate Kevin's care and tentativeness to my questions.
Jose and his crew, (Jose, Jose and Alverto) did an amazing job with the landscaping. They worked hard and always checked in with us to see how we liked what was done so far.
We have a few more projects to go and feel absolutely comfortable going back to Kevin. He has earned our trust and business.
Thank you North County Lawn Care. Kevin, Paul, Jose and the whole crew were great to work with. I highly recommend!
Update: I managed to mow off a sprinkler head yesterday and Josue came right out this morning and fixed. Great service!
Steve & Renee
Furthermore, on the morning the project was to get underway, I requested a change to the initial layout, a companies worst nightmare, but not for NCLC. Paul, not batting an eye, graciously listened to my idea, and made the changes happen without hesitation. Thanks to his patience and keen eye for design, he helped make my gazebo take center stage, creating a beautiful focal point for my yard.
I would be remiss not to mention the hard work and professionalism of Jose Luis and Adalberto, the magnificent duo that moved yards of gravel, soil and bark and laid the most beautiful patio pavers. These guys worked so hard morning till evening to ensure that the job got completed timely and with customer satisfaction. They were a joy to have around and I can’t thank them enough for all the effort they put forth.
To say that I would highly recommend NCLC is an understatement, they are absolutely the best business in Whatcom county. No job is too big, or too small. Even if you’re on a budget, these guys will do their best to make your dreams come true. I am already anxious to hire them to start Phase 2 of my backyard renovations. A heartfelt thanks to Kevin, Paul, Jose Luis and Adalberto. You guys are the best!!!
Our Landscape Maintenance Services
Bed & Gravel Maintenance
We offer three garden bed and gravel maintenance programs to keep your property looking beautiful. Our professional landscapers will visit your property biweekly during the spring, summer, and fall months, and monthly during the winter to keep your beds in top condition all year long.
Essential Bed Maintenance
Our technicians maintain your beds throughout the year to prevent weeds and debris. They’ll also help with weed control, trimming back and cleaning up perennials to prevent overgrowth and die back, plant and shrub fertilization, debris cleanup, hard raking, and mulch fluffing to keep your beds beautiful year-round.
Premium Bed Maintenance
In addition to all the services we include in our essential bed maintenance program, we also provide shrub and tree pruning services as needed throughout the year. Your beds will never look better, and you’ll never have to worry about overgrown shrubbery or ornamental trees again!
Gravel Maintenance
Whether you have a gravel parking area, driveway, walkway, or rock garden, we can maintain your gravel beds on a regular schedule to keep them clean, clear of weeds, and easy to walk on.
Please note that the frequency of this service may differ from how often we need to maintain your garden beds.
Mulching
We can lay down fresh bark mulch in your garden beds to mitigate the growth of weeds and protect the roots of your garden plants. Our mulching experts use two different types of bark mulch that are native to the Pacific Northwest—black composted mulch and medium fir mulch. Both of these mulches are free of dyes and chemicals, making an attractive and natural backdrop for your entire garden.

Pruning and trimming are essential parts of our residential landscape maintenance services near you, alongside our lawn care services. Doing so allows your plants to stay healthy and maintain their beauty and appeal. Whether you need annual hedge trimming or other seasonal pruning services, North County Landscape is here to help.
