Description of Work: Steve and his crew have done an amazing job on my yards. I needed a full service which included mow, trim, edge, cleanup, trimming trees, weeding, fertilizing, aerate lawn in spring, start up irrigation system in spring and winterize irrigation system in fall. They even take care of the yard in the winter. I am a perfectionist and so are they. Our last lawn service didn't seem to know what full service meant and our lawns were a mess. We needed to redo both lawns in the spring and were not very happy about it. Again Whatcom Lawns fixed the problem. For seniors and people with disabilities this is the perfect solution to staying in your home. We gave up lattes, started making them at home and watched our money. It's been worth it to stay in our home. Whatcom Lawns crew are polite, helpful and want to do their best. They are so reliable. We really appreciate the service and feel so much better.

Description of Work: My entire lawn was killed deader than dead by TruGreen in November 2014 with their last "treatment" of the year. They must have sprayed it with weed kill rather than liquid fertilizer. After rebalancing the soil, Whatcom Lawns completely replanted my lawn using a technique to inject the seed directly into the soil, allowing 80% seed germination. The results were remarkable, however there were still some dead spots so they came back and redid those areas at no charge. Now my lawn looks dense and lush. I am so pleased. Very professional, very knowledgeable.

Description of Work: Whatcom Lawns was great. We had multiple things done, not just lawn care. As for our desperate looking NW lawn we had them do it all - aerated, moss control, sliced/seeded, fertilized, etc. With frequent waterings the new grass is coming in nicely. We had them pressure wash our backyard cement area and our 2nd story deck. In addition, the non-grass parts of our landscape had some large areas that needed additional rock filled in and plants pruned. Finally we had a separate large area that needed dirt dug out so weed barrier could be put down and then rocks. It all looks GREAT! The workers were professional, completely cleaned up after their job and I even got a note from the owner that price was cut on pressure washing because the space wasn't as large as originally thought. You can't beat that! I will definitely call them again for more work. NW lawns always need it!

We've been fortunate to have had Watcom Lawns help us take care of our property for nearly four years. Everything Steve and his team does is done with care and professionalism. From grub control early in the year, to all the things we ask of them, from small tasks to some challenging ones, they always excel. Over these years they have turned flower beds of weeds into beautiful landscapes. They have edged large bed areas and a long driveway, transplanted shrubs, planted trees, etc. During all this, we feel like they care about our property nearly as much as we do. We always plan to "have a Whatcom lawn".
Description of Work: Aside from our normal four times a year fertilizing/weed control care, this year we had Whatcom Lawns install yards of rock around the back of the house, leveling an area for our fountain, and planted nine three gallon trees.

The work was done completely, in a timely manner and to my satisfaction. I also hired them to spray my property for weeds in the Fall and Spring and have been very satisfied.
Description of Work: Whatcom Lawns rep called quickly after I contacted them over the internet. Rep came out and gave me an "on the spot" estimate. The work included pruning various fruit trees, other evergreens and bamboo along the driveway and around the house. Raking leaves along one side of the house. General trimming and clean-up.

Thanks for the review! This is a great example of what we can do for many properties in Whatcom County. Fruit trees and many other types of vegetation can quickly grow outside of the area they were planted for. We are also certified to take care of ongoing vegetation control in lawns, beds, gravel, etc. Call today for a customized quote for your property. We would love to meet you on your property and take the back ache out of your yard work!

Even though my lawn was new it looking somewhat unhealthy in certain areas. Growth was sparse in some areas and in other areas there were a lot of weeds. I called Whatcom Lawns and they scheduled an appointment to drop by. Subsequently they evaluated my lawn and took the time to teach me why this was likely happening to my lawn and how I could treat and prevent this in the future. They then gave me options on what could be done either by myself buying the supplies and managing it or hiring them to do it. I did a little of both and made arrangements that they would call me in the fall to aerate the lawn so as to allow more air and water in. Several months later they remembered to call and schedule the work. They showed up on time, efficiently and effectively did the work, and left. No hassle and no mess! I'd definitely use them again.

While we did pay premium prices, it did not feel out of proportion to the quality of the work and the quality of the plants. The grounds now look spectacular - they truly brought life and beauty back to the property that had been sitting unattended for three years prior to our purchasing it. Whatcom Lawns was extremely attentive, responded to requests immediately, scheduled our huge job in in an extremely timely fashion, and they were clearly quite knowledgeable about landscaping. We love the plants they chose, and they planted them with great care and attention. The trimming job they did was absolutely flawless, and though we wound up needing them to prune trees at sort of an off-time, the trees all seem happier than ever. They managed their teams effectively and worked steadily and quickly throughout the entire day without supervision. Our work involved multiple visits, which they attended to promptly, and without need to be reminded or chased. Truly a pleasure to work with this company, I would recommend them to absolutely anyone. I found them initially by doing a Google search in my area for lawn care, and after contacting multiple companies, I found this one to be a) the most responsive, b) the most detailed, and c) the most thoughtful about the way they do business.
Description of Work: We had Whatcom Lawns come and do a one-time cleanup of our extensive grounds. This included several acres of mowing, trimming and pruning shrubs and trees (including orchard trees), preparing and planting flower beds with various shrubs/plants to fill in empty areas, weeding all beds, and spreading beauty bark.
