Landscaping reviews in Kirkland, Washington

The team did an amazing job cleaning up our backyard and side yards, removing the weeds, and trimming the bushes. Our yard has not been maintained for a year and they have been super detailed to make it look good again! We're very satisfied with the work done and will hire them again.

Everlane Landscaping completely transformed my front, back, and side yards. After the initial cleanup, they have been maintaining my yard since February. I am beyond satisfied with their work. It’s also very cool that this company is run by such young individuals. I highly recommend their landscaping services to anyone looking for quality work and reliable service!!

We hired Classics two years ago for a full front and backyard landscaping project, and I’m writing this now with the benefit of some hindsight.

The investment was substantial, more than many people earn in a full year, so our expectations were reasonably high. The hardscaping, including a stone path and patio, was well outside our own skill set, and we’re glad we had professionals handle that portion.

Where things fell short was in the planting and bed work around the house and fence line. When it was finished, it just didn’t have the look of a professionally landscaped home, and in hindsight, it’s the kind of work we probably could have tackled ourselves for a fraction of the cost.

Two years out, a good number of the plants have died, and several stones on our front stoop have come loose enough to be a genuine tripping hazard. We reached out to the company hoping to work something out, and while we understood that warranties have limits, the response was pretty discouraging: slow to reply, and ultimately a polite version of “not our problem anymore.”

We just think anyone considering a large landscaping investment deserves to know what the full experience looked like for us.

We had a great experience with Classic Landscaping. Laura designed a beautiful update to our front yard. We are thrilled with the results and we're getting a lot of positive feedback from neighbors and friends. Laura and her team were excellent from start to finish--on time, on budget and wonderful to work with. We can't say enough positive things about Classic Landscaping, Laura and team!

Have you ever had a dream about what your back yard could be?
Or the front property or both? Your dreams can come true by engaging Classic Nursery! Back in 2018 we started transforming out forest property into a garden of delights! Brainstorming with Classic's designers can transform your ideas into enhanced patio, or scenic view through their landscaping, lighting and patio and pool construction. Give them a call to start your journey into nature at home! Photos to follow September 2026.

Classic stands head and shoulders above other landscapers. Their communication was constant and clear, and we always felt heard throughout the process. They brought real vision and collaboration to the work, with obvious care, attention to detail, and pride in the final result.

Hydrangeas are on sale!

Very knowledgeable and very nice plants.

Fantastic service, and excellent stock. Good prices also!

Nice local nursery, friendly people, prices and selection were decent. Will return.

Classic Nursery is one of the best in the Puget Sound, I highly recommend them for any landscape project!

Alan is generous w time and knowledge. He strives to change the profession toward a sustainable future.

I am impressed with the creative approach Alan & team takes to create uniquely landscaped spaces, allowing his clients personalities to really shine through with each project.

Alan did a great job designing and installing our landscape. On time and responsive to our inquiries. Would recommend him and his team.

They did an excellent job helping us select new plants and building gravel paths in our yard. They were on time and on budget with everything and we'll certainly be using them for our future landscaping projects!

We hired Classic Nursery summer 2017 to transform our backyard into an Outdoor Living Space. We interviewed 3 companies, and chose this one because the owner, Alan Burke, seemed personable, knowledgeable and “on top of it”. Prices were all in the same range. We talked through ideas and preferences for the structure of the yard, met at the nursery to discuss plant options and emailed a list of likes and dislikes to Mr. Burke. We were assured that these would be integrated into the project.

Early on, it was apparent that the project was not well-managed. Their employees were standing around, on their phone, doing nothing for large periods of time. At one point, the Onsite Manager dug up some cement blocks that had just been installed by another contractor, setting us back days. All of that work had to be redone.

Mr. Burke claimed to be the project manager but was only present a couple of times. Much of our early conversations about what we wanted seemed to be forgotten, and when we brought up details previously discussed they were frustratingly treated as new ideas. When we mentioned that we didn’t feel heard, the response was defensive and made us feel even less heard.
The project took much longer than projected (not unusual), and when Mr. Burke did the final “walkthrough” he acknowledged that the project “was not up to our normal standards,” and he asked us to “not trash us on social media.”

The Proposal was very misleading, with the total clearly marked and bolded; but you had to go into the very small print to find that “applicable taxes would be added”. Because of all of the issues, I offered to pay the bolded total ($40,000), so basically a 10% reduction. Mr. Burke refused that offer and threatened to put a lien on our property, even though the final payment was not yet due.

So, this is the main reason I would never recommend doing business with this company: Mr. Burke PUT A LIEN ON OUR PROPERTY BEFORE THE FINAL PAYMENT WAS DUE simply because we suggested a negotiation to compensate for the mismanaged project. I have never heard of anyone doing this. He does not listen well, and is only good with customer relations until you sign the contract. Just stay away.

Megan was lovely to work with and knew exactly how to design our yard to make it functional and beautiful. The work was promplty done without set-backs and the team was professional and courteous. I would definitely hire classic nursery again for future projects!

We have collaborated with Alan and his team at Classic Nursery and Landscaping Company on several project over the years. Each collaboration is a smooth process because they value communication. And, their end product exceeds the customers exceptions and is a stunning addition to the homeowners home. We highly recommend Aland and his team, they are professionals!

I've know the owner of Classic Nursery and Landscape, Alan Burke, since 1993 and have always found him to be honest and a great landscaper! He cares deeply about his customers and has been know to go beyond the call of duty in making everyone happy. I would wholeheartedly trust him with my landscape work.

We are repeat customers of Classic Nursery. This was a big job that included planting of trees, shrubs and perennials, adding rock accents including a rock path, reshaping and reseeding of the lawn areas, readjustment of sprinkler system and addition of a new sprinkler zone. Classic Nursery is knowledgeable about PNW plants, easy to work with/collaborative with what we wanted, professional throughout, very responsive to questions. They work solidly as a team from designer, planner, nursery staff, irrigation specialists, work crew, and office staff. We would hands down call them again if we needed any landscape work.

Highly recommend. Our yard turned out amazing with work done on time and within our budget. We continue to have Classic maintain our yard with a spring and fall clean up. Want to work with a great company, partner with Classic.
