My husband and I hired Hunter to trim and thin out two tall maple trees we have. The trees were inaccessible for a bucket truck so Hunter literally climbed the trees to do the job. The crew was very prompt and professional and totally cleaned up the yard before leaving. Thank you, Hunter. Blake and Ron. You did a great job.

Blake and his crew were very meticulous and showed care in the work they did repairing our shoreline. His crew was respectful and thorough. The lakefront looks wonderful and the boulders he used will ensure our house wont go in the lake. I would Highly recommend them.

North Coast Landscaping has taken care of our home for over 5 years. They landscaped it built us an awesome brick fire pit and layed brick pavers for our large smoker grill. Snowplowing, lawn care they do it all with great care and always there when scheduled. There were times we needed something quickly and Blake always found time to work us into the scedule. Blake and his crew are professional and very nice. I would highly recommend to anyone needing landscaping/snowplowing. They are the best!!
