YEARS OF TWIN CITIES CLIENT WORK
Real names, real projects, a live link to the original review.
Every quote on this page carries a first name, last initial, and project type — pulled directly from our public Google Business Profile. Nothing here is a testimonial we wrote ourselves. Owners Nick and Brandon read every review personally, good or bad.
“The yard, gardens and patio areas were immaculate! Their crew was so efficient and completed the job quickly and perfectly.” — Katie, multi-year client
In-House Crew, No Subs
The names reviewers mention — Tyler the foreman, Nick and Brandon the owners — are the same people who show up on your property. Nothing is subcontracted out.
Same crew, every project
Written Warranties, Not Handshakes
Every project is backed by a written warranty schedule — 15 years on lighting, 5 on hardscapes, 2 on trees, 1 on shrubs and water features. Reviews like Michael H.’s above happened because we honored ours.

Owners On Site, Every Project

QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Every quote on this page is a verbatim excerpt from a review left on our public Google Business Profile. We trim long reviews for length on this page, but we never rewrite, embellish, or fabricate a word.
No. We don’t run a review-gating program that only asks happy clients to leave a review, and we don’t hide the ones that aren’t glowing. What’s featured here is a representative sample — the full, unfiltered profile is one click away on Google.
Yes — every quote links back to our live Google Business Profile using the button below the review wall. Search “North Ridge Outdoor Services” on Google or Google Maps and you’ll find the exact same reviews, unedited.
That’s how most reviewers choose to display their name on Google, and we match it for consistency. It protects client privacy while still keeping every review attributed to a real, verifiable person rather than an anonymous quote.
We send one request after a project wraps, to every client — not just the ones we think will say something glowing. It’s a single ask with no incentive attached, which is also why the reviews above read like real conversations instead of marketing copy.
