About Nortwest Green Landscaping

Baring huddles at the foot of the mountain that shares its name, where steep rock and forest rise so abruptly above Highway 2 that the valley seems to fold around the houses. Here along the South Fork of the Skykomish, Nortwest Green Landscaping keeps lawns mowed and edged, holding back the alder, cedar and salmonberry that would gladly reclaim any open ground. On a long midsummer evening, with the river running cold over its boulders and the peak above still lit after the valley has slipped into shade, the clippings on a mown yard smell green and clean. The craft lies in carving out a level, defined lawn for a cabin or home while the forest keeps leaning in from every side. A square of tended grass beneath that much mountain is something to stand back and admire.
