The work performed exceeded my expectations. My back landscape beds were done incorrectly when our home was built but it took a couple of years for problems related to this to manifest themselves. I decided to not use the original contracters to correct these problems since they were not helpful when I contacted them and were unresponsive to my concerns, While this clearly isn't right, I didn't want the battle and preferred to go to new landscape service that would offer fresh ideas and were enthusiastic about doing the work! I found the right company in North Shore Landscape, The job foreman, Ryan, offered great solutions to the problems and we were very pleased with the results. We also had about 20 large boulders and assorted shrubs added to a very large mulched transition bed between our back lawn and woods. It looks great. Also on a very positive note, the contractor didn't mind me watching them work through the whole job, commenting frequently and being very involved from start to finish. Not all contractors are comfortable with that. But with this job, the final design decisions had to be done in stages so my constant involvement was needed. It was a great experience and their pricing was very fair for all the work they did. We would hire them again for any future work.
Description of Work: Redesigned back flower beds, re-plant existing shrubs, and install large boulders. This work was performed to correct problems related to incorrect grading and prior landscaping services done by another landscape company 2 years ago!

We worked with Matt at NorthShore who was delightful throughout the entire project. From the initial meeting, quote, and throughout completion he was outstanding in all phases of the job. The patio design and walkway which were created and a step landing from our back door exceeded our expectations. The work was done very timely and every aspect of the work was wonderful. We would definitely recommend NorthShore to anyone in need of their services.
Description of Work: We had NorthShore re-grade our back yard following a modest addition on the rear of the property. In addition, they laid a new brick patio with a lovely border. They then planted grass along the entire side of our house and a portion of the back yard.

They were excellent. They cleaned up. They didn?t leave any marks on my grass. They were very polite and nice. I couldn?t have asked for me. I spent around $500. I had a couple of other estimates, and they were better than the others. Also, I liked them because they did good work. I will use them again in the future.
Description of Work: I used North Shore Landscape Design for landscaping, four months ago. They put in a tree and a couple of bushes. They also did some redesigning for me.

My husband and I contacted North Shore Landscaping and Design Co as he knew the owner for many years working with him on occasion at my husbands work. We also knew the owners father who ran a similar business for many years and was revered in the city of North Royalton, OH as a general contractor and used his services also for our city sewer upgrade at our home. North Shore's job went promptly and on time and conducted a debrief period at the end of each day about the day's progress. All materials on the proposal were brought to bear as stated. The job was inspected by the city and was in complete compliance. We both were satisfied with the efficiency and time frame of the project. We hope others will contact them if their needs require a reliable and reputable contractor not just for landscaping, but larger foundation work such as ours.
Description of Work: Foundation Repair at residence. permits, waterproof basement, replace existing draintile and downspout piping with schedule 3034 plastic pipe w/fittings, repair hold in existing sanitary line, removed front and rear stoops in line with waterproofing process (approved by owner), and provided dumpster to site.

When I first moved to Cleveland from Columbus I didn't have any contacts and needed work done. I called many, many "references" and ads in the local paper. Jeff called me back and showed up promptly. I didn't get the run around like I have many times prior from other contractors. I have had a definitely pleasant experience with North Shore. They listened to my ideas and were very patience with me, but when I did make a decision to move forward they did so immediately. It was great to get all of the projects done in a timely fashion. The work they did is excellent and they guarantee it. I definitely recommended working with Jeff Modock and North Shore.
Description of Work: The following is the work done by North Shore. Waterproofing - replaced drain tile, (dug up around house and tarred the walls / added gravel) added drain tile. I have also had major landscaping work done. Swale put in back yard for drainage control, regraded the entire lawn, new lawn /grass put in, front yard raised 3 feet for better drainage. 14 trees planted (all still thriving). Pavers along driveway and up to front door. Large paver planter in front yard along with paver column for large driveway light. Walkway added along side of house to get to backyard and finally paver steps installed for back door access.

NorthShore explained exactly what the procedure would be to fix the crack in the basement wall. They dug it out by hand, cleaned the wall and applied the necessary materials to seal the area in question. It took approximately 24hrs. for the materials to dry before covering the wall area. The area was blocked off, and secured while drying. They returned the whole area to its original state on completion of the job, all shrubs, mulch,etc. They did a great job.

The crew was very professional, prompt, and finished the job in a timely mannor. They left the yard vertually untouched and it was difficult to tell that the foundation was dug up and repaired.
Description of Work: They dug up and waterproofed the foundation and replaced all the drain tiles. They also reconnected everything to the city lines. Replaced all of the backfill and regrated the landscaping. When inspected by the city inspectors, everything was done above and beyond city codes. City inspectors said the quailty of work was well above average.

In one week they were done!. It was well thought out and organized as the stones initially had to be stacked around the yard in piles in order of use and size. They brought huge equipment every day to lay those stones which took some doing. The design was there but they had to put it together like a puzzle and line everything up for a back deck entry. They did an incredible job. No one else would touch it without cutting the stones. While they were puttijng in the drain tile they corrected an error in the tile around the house that would have caused problems. Brought things to our attention throughout job.,Matt is proffesional and has great customer service skills that would assist any job to completion.
Description of Work: They put in drain tile, graded the property, set huge flagstone pieces without cutting the main pieces and implemented them into a a two part design that we gave them.Then they put in the lawn.

The price was very reasonable for all of the work that's been done. They are very professional, and are willing to go out of their way to do little things that are not in the contract, such as picking up the fountain for me. I also had a tree in the back, and it was the wrong one so I needed to take it back to the provider. Northshore pulled out the tree and drove it back to the provider for me and did not charge a thing. So far I am very happy with them.
Description of Work: They brought a fountain out of storage to my home. They have been helping me to find companies to do landscape work. They are going to be doing some landscaping themselves in the spring.

Jeff came out quickly and was very informative. He is very customer oriented. He gave great suggestions and our yard looks great. They cleaned up well and other than the great work, you wouldn't know they were here. They are professionals and are easy to work with. We would recommend them to others. However, we have been trying to get a follow up here at the end of summer and it has been a little difficult to reach them. Seems like they have gotten a little busy for us.
Description of Work: They put in some shrubs and did general landscaping right before memorial day weekend.
