“I hired Nick and his team at Mill Creek Landscapes to complete a very extensive project at my newly remodeled home and I’m fortunate that I did so. Nick was very hands on throughout the entirety of the job and at every turn presented me with options that not only stayed within my budget, but also matched what my wife and I envisioned our outdoor living spaces would look like. Nick and his crew worked tirelessly through some less then ideal weather to finish the job on time and now I have a completely transformed front and back yard that truly exceeds my expectations. -Mike O”
“Highly recommended! Yard turned out even better than I could have ever imagined. Prompt with estimate and as we made alterations or ideas changed suggestions were made to stay on budget. The project was completed on time and on budget. Very proud of our yard. Mill Creek Landscapes does beautiful work! – Heather M. – Kirkland, WA ”
“5 Plus Stars for Mill Creek Landscapes!!! They did everything they said they would do, when they said they would do it and for the actual price they quoted me. The owner Nick is a true artist and had an eye for making this project perfect. His workers were awesome too. I honestly can’t say enough good things about this company. If you are looking for perfection, call Nick for a quote. – Kristen W. Kirkland, WA”
“Nick and his company at Mill Creek Landscapes were an amazing group to work with. We had a very big backyard project (3-4 months) and they really delivered. We used a landscape architect for our project but in hindsight we could have used Nick for the design phase as he has great taste and understanding of landscape design. We even had to make some modifications to the architects work because it was clear it was not feasible the way it was planned and Nick always had great suggestions that we implemented. His crew had to work through the winter which was no easy task but they were always professional, approachable, and on time. The one thing I really appreciated about Nick was he was always checking in to make sure all questions and concerns were addressed. The amount of communication back and forth was welcomed and more than we would have expected. He also gave us a great referral to his colleague who built us an amazing large overhead patio structure (Stone columns, lighting, sky lights, etc...). His selection of material was top notch but designed to meet all budgets (we went with Blue Stone which is absolutely beautiful!!!). His ability to source odd and unusual specimen trees really helped make our backyard standout. I am looking forward to using him on future projects and have no hesitating recommending him to anyone who is looking to do a large detailed project. – Arman F. Bothell, WA ”
“ My wife and I were looking to do some work on our yard that had the typical housing development bark/plant setup that was constantly overgrowing with weeds, no matter how often we pulled them. In an effort to make the space more usable, we reached out to Nick at MCL after reading the great reviews here on Yelp.
Nick came out and talked through our ideal vision of the space, but the full scope of the work was a little more than what we were looking to spend. We told Nick what our budget was, and he proposed a couple of alternate solutions that were in our range.
Nick’s crew had availability and were able to get the project done in only a week! His crew (apologies, I can’t recall their names), were always on time, cleaned up after themselves, and were very polite. I’m sure it’s part of the job, but I would also note that they were busting their butts during one of the hottest weeks we had this summer.
We are BEYOND thrilled with the results. Nick’s team took a space that was overgrown an inhospitable and made it a fantastic area for entertaining.
Thanks Nick! David V. Seattle, WA ”
“I was so nervous about signing with a contractor to build our retaining wall and patio because of my incurably high expectations, but I had the sense from the beginning that Nick would care as much about the details as I do. Boom. Correct. We already had a design from a landscape architect but Nick was able to adjust our rough plans to be even more precise and suitable for the space. His crew was equally conscientious. At least three separate times, Tony asked for my opinion on what he had started building, and when I said, “How about this way instead?” he graciously took the more time-consuming route to ensure all of his meticulous stone work made me smile. We could not be happier with our new space. All the neighbors are jealous. Hire these guys if you can! – Bethany G. Mill Creek, WA ”
“We recently purchased a home to remodel in Kenmore that required extensive grading, and a retaining wall in order to make the front yard usable for my kids.
Nick was out onsite quickly and responded fast with a competitive bid.
I HIGHLY recommend calling them and the project came in on time and on budget!!
Great work Nick and Mill Creek Landscapes!!!!! – Michael C. Kirkland, WA ”
“I got a good vibe from Nick, the owner of Mill Creek Landscapes, right from the get go. He is friendly, easy to work with, and professional. Not only is he very skilled at the installation part of the trade, but he had great recommendations and ideas for making our patio look great and work well for our family. My 86 year old grandmother can now safely go out into the back yard as Nick and crew made a beautiful, slightly graded ramp from her door to the patio.
The new patio itself looks great! We did pavers and Nick listened to what we wanted and had suggestions for the pattern and border. We went with his recommendations and are so glad we did. He added beauty bark to our existing beds and created another beautiful bed with boulders, trees, and plants for us. Nick is skilled as a landscape architect and knows what will look good together.
We were out of town during part of the patio installation and had no worries or issues with the work or crew while we were away. They are honest and trustworthy.
The two other members of Nick’s crew were amazing as well. They worked hard, did an excellent job and were very polite and friendly.
When the job was done, Nick took the time to walk through everything that they did, including giving us maintenance and cleaning information. You can really tell that Nick takes pride in creating beautiful spaces and truly cares that his customers are happy with his work. (We are!!!)
I highly recommend Mill Creek Landscapes. I plan to call them again for any future landscaping needs. – Heather M, Kirkland, WA ”
“We started a project to build a pool at our dream house. Once we got started we realized we would need landscape around to make the project look they way we were hoping. Nick was recommend to us by a friend, but we didn’t know him or Mill Creek Landscapes at all. We needed a full design of our rear patio space. Nick was able to put together a plan that incorporated all the things we loved about our existing landscape and also give us new touches that are not only beautiful but very useful. I would like to say I had a hand in designing this great space but we pretty much have exactly what the first renderings look like that Nick prepared. He provided us with multiple budget options and was honest with his opinions. We had things that didn’t go exactly as planned, materials that we thought would work and had to be changed and some decisions that had to be made on the fly, but we felt guided through the process and in control of every decision. Projects of this magnitude are going to have a few twists and turns, it was great to have such a good navigator through the process and typically he had better suggestions than we could have thought of.
They have a very professional crew. Every worker that was at our house was courteous and professional. Regardless of the mess that was made during the day while working, it was tidy before they went home every night. We couldn’t be happier with the craftsmanship, professionalism and end result of our work with Nick and his crew at Mill Creek Landscapes.
Tony – Lake Stevens, WA Thank you for our beautiful new backyard! ”
“I highly recommend using Mill Creek Landscapes for your yard service. My husband and I recently bought a home with a very neglected backyard and had no idea what direction to go in terms of layout and design. Nick and his team put or minds at ease as they knew exactly what to do, and did it all in under 2 days seamlessly at a very competitive price-point. There has not been one neighbor, family or friend who has not been blown away by the results!
We cannot wait to use them for our next yard venture and recommend hiring them without hesitation! – Katie E. Edmonds, WA
