NORTHSCAPES INC. does landscaping and hardscaping, and on Thumbtack Jose Ortega introduces himself as the owner with over 15 years of experience in the landscaping field. The company's own BBB description lists patios, walkways, driveways, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, steps and concrete features. It holds 4.8 stars from 52 ratings on Thumbtack and 5.0 stars from 8 ratings on HomeAdvisor. A recent customer said the team from Northscapes did the work on their 12x18 patio, and that Jose made the process very simple from the beginning. A recent customer in a new home, whose builder-done landscaping left much to be desired, said Jose took their ideas and was happy to roll with the changes and additions throughout the job. A recent customer said Jose and his crew cut down two large oak trees and four others, pruned some others and then cleaned everything up. A recent customer said they had a 75-foot oak tree removed and praised the cleanup afterwards and the price. A recent customer said the crew showed care with wires near the house and cleaned up well. A 2021 customer said Jose and his guys did their lawn and cleanups, and that they also installed a patio with a fire pit. A 2021 customer said that when they asked Jose and team to rearrange some tile for where the grill would be and tighten up the spacing on their patio, they were very responsive. A 2020 customer with a two-level yard said Jose and his crew cleaned and mulched all of the beds, added retaining stones and crushed stone to a 40-foot path along with pavers, and added 24 square feet of crushed stone to another small area. That 2020 customer said Jose and his crew were hard working and pleasant on a day when it was snowing, cold and raining. A 2020 customer said Jose and his team cleaned the perimeter of a yard where brush, trash, grass clippings and leaves had accumulated over what looked like decades, and that Jose brought all the equipment he'd need to finish it in a day. A 2019 customer said Jose and his team cleared and cleaned about 3,000 square feet in about 5 hours and called the price fair.
The team from Northscapes did a fantastic job on our 12x18 patio. We are very happy with the outcome. From the beginning Jose made the process very simple for us. Never saw a group work as hard as these guys! Much thanks!
Jose and his team did an amazing job in our landscaping projects. We are in a new home with "landscaping" done by our builders that left much to be desired, and Jose came in and took my ideas and brought it to the next level. He was happy to roll with the changes, and additions throughout the job (and there were plenty.) Will definitely hire them again when we need more work done!
Great job by Jose and his crew. They cut down two large oak trees, four others, and pruned some others, and then cleaned everything up. I would highly recommend Northscapes!
Crew did a great job. Showed care with wires near the house and cleaned up well. Will call again
The team did an excellent job. I recommend them for any tree work. I had a 75 foot Oak tree removed and they did an awesome job. Their clean up afterwards was superb! And their price was the best.
