North country is awesome. We had a front lawn of grass. Which can be a pain, so we contacted NCL. Kevin was the sales person who gave us a quote. What is great about Kevin is he had several ideas that would simplify our design and he helped us through the HOA process. Paul was the manager and again he had some great ideas and helped us through the work. Jose, Jose and Alberto were so great. They got the job finished ahead of schedule and the end result made us very happy. Alberto worked so hard to get everything perfect and Jose was awesome at running the machinery.
We highly recommend North County Landscaping.

North county landscape is clearly the best in the biz. I don't know how they do it, but their prices are also competitive. If you want it done right, last a long time, at a good price, then call Kevin at NCL. Josue and Tyler did an excellent install. They were friendly and easy to work with. If I asked for something more or different they would make the change and even improve it from there.
My backyard could only be described as an eyesore. I had a muddy, weedy area beside my carport that was unused, wasted space. My concrete patio had several large cracks in it with weeds growing out of them, and the raised garden area was an overgrown, weedy mess that required more time to maintain than my vegetable beds themselves. I finally decided I needed a more calming, inviting space so I would want to spend time in my backyard during those beautiful PNW summers. I called North County Landscape Co., and it was the best decision I made. The owner, Kevin, came out as scheduled and on time. He was friendly, professional, and low-key, never overselling extra services as sometimes contractors do. He delivered a proposal as promised and worked with me to meet my needs within my budget.
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.

We had an excellent experience with North County Lawn Care. Paul and Sonya were professional, responsive, and helpful in navigating the tricky permitting process in our area. While there were some hiccups with permitting (on the city's side), the installation was stress-free.
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.

Josue and Tyler (with the expert direction of Kevin) did a FANTASTIC JOB, and with smiles on the faces, even in the heat of summer! They upgraded our old sprinkler system and fixed a MESS that Faber Construction left behind. Thankful for these integrous fellows who took pride in their job well done.
They did absolutely terrific!!!
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!!!

Josue was excellent! Knowledgeable, and meticulous in ensuring to get the job done right - tested his work thoroughly and helped me fix and adjust the sprinkler system I have to be more efficient and in better placement for better results for my yard . Very pleased with his professional approach to my needs.
We couldn’t be happier with North County Landscape! The turf looks absolutely incredible—so real that friends can’t believe it’s artificial. The crew worked tirelessly and their work shows. You can tell they really care about making everything perfect. Our dogs are obsessed with it, and we love how easy it is to keep clean. Honestly, this was the best decision we’ve made for our yard. Highly recommend them!
Absolutely incredible experience! North County Landscape Co (NCLC) exceeded our expectations from start to finish. From Kevin ‘s vision to the final flawless result. There were many components on our job and all were executed with perfection. They were prompt, professional, and extremely detail-oriented. The crew Jose V, Juan, Josue, and the rest of the team worked efficiently, kept everything clean, and delivered a stunning transformation. They definitely went above and beyond! The quality of their work truly stands out, and we would highly recommend them to anyone in need of top-notch landscaping services.
I just signed up for service a couple of months ago to help my sad looking lawn and it’s already looking so much better! Kelly has been so great explaining the products and application process and answering all my questions on site with patience and a smile. And Angee has been so great helping me with my lawn care plan, pricing and scheduling. I highly recommend North County Lawn Care!
North county landscape co did a terrific job bringing my lawn back to life. All of the crew were very professional and engaging and more than happy to give guidance. I would highly recommend them for any of your landscaping needs.
Josue and Tyler installed my irrigation system today and did an excellent job. They arrived within the specified time and began work immediately. The work was performed quickly and professionally. They explained the system and zones and set the timer as I asked. I highly recommend these two employees to anyone who is a client of North County.
It was a pleasure to work with North County landscape! The whole process from start to finish was seamless. Kevin’s suggestions for the materials and colors were exactly what I had envisioned. Luis and the crew were pleasant, professional and hardworking They did an amazing job transforming my 35 year-old gravel and dirt stairs to beautiful Castohn steps leading up to the back yard met by a walkway of gorgeous pavers over what used to be rocky, uneven ground. I really appreciate the extra effort Kevin made to ensure I was 100% satisfied with the results. The excellent customer service seems to be a rarity these days. NCLC is top notch!
We had a great experience with North County Landscape Company and highly recommend them! Kevin and his team really listened to what we wanted and turned our ideas into a beautiful yard that fits our style and needs. They stayed on budget and finished on time, which we really appreciated. Jose paid close attention to every detail and was flexible when things needed to change. Communication was clear the whole way through, and the crew was respectful and kept everything clean. The final result is even better than we hoped, and we’ve had lots of compliments from friends and neighbors!
North County Landscape has maintained my lawn and gardens for over a year, and my property has never looked nicer. Alvin and Elaina have done an incredible job making the gardens look stunning. They have ensured that no weeds ever get into the beds, remove debris from the beds and patio area that the wind blows in, remove the large amount of moss growth that sprouts over winter, and prune the plants as needed throughout the year, not only once per season. It's amazing how much they accomplish with each visit, and they are so kind to check in to see if I have any concerns or special needs. The lawn team is equally phenomenal - our grass used to be patchy, full of weeds, moss and struggled to thrive. Within the year of the team caring for my lawn, there is nothing but a lush green carpet of grass. I can't say enough about how much these two teams have improved my property.

Dear Deb, we are thrilled to receive your review about our gardening and lawn care teams work ethic, and results! Thank you for being one of our valued clients! 
Josue is the best! He always explains what the issues are that he finds and the best course of action to fix the problems. He’s fast and does quality work! Thank you Josue!
The Technician was very polite and knowledgeable. He took the time to explain the system and how it all worked, He winterized our sprinkler system and will be out again in the spring to help us set up the automatic timing. Thanks so much for the info and your time.

Josue did a great job today with the irrigation system maintenance at Denise Knowles' property in Blaine, WA.

We appreciate your repeat business!
Very pleased with our new stairs! Had a problematic access area on the side of the house and North County Lawn Care did a great job for us. Easy to work with, good communication and friendly crew. Design,, build and cleanup exceeded expectations. Thanks to Luis and crew!

Your stairs will make a wonderful enhancement to your property! We are thrilled to hear you are pleased with our work and the final result.
Just hired NCLC to maintain my irrigation system. Josue arrived on time and did a great inspection and startup. Ready for the Summer now!!!
Josue did an excellent job bringing our struggling irrigation system back to life. High attention to detail and walked me through system use. Would 100% recommend him and North County Lawn Care.
Exceptional work and service!
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!

Thank you Maria. It’s been a pleasure to provide maintenance at your home in Blaine. 
Josue came to my rescue today with our irrigation system. He arrived with a smile on his face and quickly got to work identifying the issues and repairing several sprinkler heads. He explained his process and also advised on next steps. Really appreciated his expertise and help!
Kevin and his team were professional, timely and produced excellent workmanship. I would definitely hire them for my next project.
NCLC came over and quickly and efficiently cleaned up the garden beds, lawn, and grounds around my house. Excellent communication and quality work!
Great job! Crew showed up and completed work in short order and looks great! This was an extension to an existing patio. The photo might show a bit of a color difference, but time takes care of that. I've had pavers added prior and this is a far superior job. They even replaced some poorly cut on the existing patio from the previous contractor.
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!

Excellent job as usual on the Winter pruning and cleanup of our landscape beds. North County Lawn Care is the best!
I have been very impress and pleased with Kevin and his crew's professionalism. My experience with him has been 5 STARS satisfaction. Kevin met us at our location to give us a quote for our "hardscape" and quite honestly, we had no clue on what we can do to our front yard since it wasn't a typical grass yard. Kevin gave us some options and ideas as to what he thinks we can do with the space. There was no sales pushing or pressure from him. He took the time to explain to us what he can do based on what we asked. From that process, it was constant communication and responsive to our emails and texts.
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.

North County has always been fantastic to deal with! We have had landscaping done by other providers in Whatcom county, but no one does the job like NC does! Professional, Respectful, and Reliable.
Josue always provides great service, is quick to help with whatever is needed, and — something I really appreciate — is super friendly and enjoyable to talk with. Has a great attitude and is a very efficient service provider.
Our collaboration with Tara, Kevin, and Kaitlin was professional. They promptly responded to an online service call to provide an estimate on a residential project. Thank you, North County Lawn Care.
Got the driveway done the next day, great communication from Kevin. For a competitive price.
So happy with our new landscaping, irrigation and lighting!
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!

How do I even put into words the happiness I’m feeling as I sit in my new backyard oasis. It’s truly amazing, a masterpiece of tranquility and it’s all thanks to Kevin and his amazing team. I did a lot of research and had a few companies come give me a bid but the moment I started talking to Kevin, I knew his number one priority was to do whatever he could to match the vision and budget of his client. I initially proposed a grandiose schematic that did not line up with my budget but Kevin thoughtfully worked through each element of my wish list to create a space that was realistic financially but did not compromise the beauty and serenity that I was seeking.
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!!!

I am really happy with North county lawn care service. Kevin was very helpful in giving me a plan to fit my budget. Leo came in with his crew today and they did an awesome job!! Even beyond my expectations. I am for sure going to use their service for my next project. Thank you Kevin and Leo and his crew!!
Leo & Juan did an amazing job pruning overgrown shrubs & trees. They cleaned out all flowerbeds & made our landscape look fresh for Spring. We are getting ready to put our house on the market & I’m sure the landscaping will appeal to prospective buyers. Highly recommend this professional crew.
