What recent reviews say

On single jobs, North Pearl delivers polished results quickly and affordably, with owner Merced hands-on and crew respectful. Multiple clients praise tree work, sod installation, and first-time lawn refreshes. The catch: reliability fractures badly on repeat service. Several reviewers report no-shows, ignored messages, and ghosting when trying to book follow-ups. Two one-star reviews detail an irrigation system that failed repeatedly post-installation, lacked proper backflow prevention per code, and went unrepaired despite warranty promises. A $4,250 xeriscaping job left rocks placed over unprepared ground and yards looking unchanged months later. Communication that shines on project day vanishes afterward.

Best suited to one-off work: sod, mulch, tree trimming, new hardscape. Risky for ongoing maintenance contracts or complex systems needing aftercare. Owner skill is evident; execution on large jobs can be uneven. If hiring, get specifics in writing, clarify warranty terms upfront, and understand follow-up communication cannot be assumed.

Watch-outs

Best for: One-off landscape jobs: sod installation, tree trimming, mulching, new hardscape, and initial yard refreshes.
Think twice if: You need ongoing lawn maintenance contracts, irrigation repairs under warranty, or multi-phase work requiring reliable follow-up communication.

Strengths

  • Owner Merced shows up for estimates and monitors work in person
  • Fast, efficient crews on single projects
  • Fair pricing praised multiple times
  • Handles diverse work: trees, sod, hardscape, irrigation

Worth knowing

  • Owner Merced personally visits for estimates and monitors progress
  • Irrigation system installations have failed post-completion in at least one documented case with claimed six-month warranty not honored
  • One $4,250 xeriscaping project left rocks placed directly over unprepared ground, weeds returned within weeks, work quality did not match initial vision
  • Multiple clients report no-shows and communication lapses when attempting to reschedule or arrange follow-up service
  • License number not provided despite requests (owner claims Texas licensure)

What reviews say by service

Tree Service & Arborist
Trimming, removal, and disease prevention praised for professionalism and quality.
Landscape Design & Installation
Sod installation and yard refreshes deliver strong first impressions; larger projects with poor follow-up execution damage reputation.
Irrigation & Sprinkler Systems
Same-day emergency repair once praised; new systems have failed repeatedly, lacked code-required backflow device, and warranty claims went unresolved.
Lawn Care & Maintenance
One-off grass cutting and mulch jobs consistently praised; ongoing maintenance contracts plagued by no-shows and ghosting.

Common questions

Can Merced come out the same day for urgent repairs?
Yes; one client reported same-day arrival for a broken sprinkler system, though that does not reflect typical responsiveness for ongoing work.
Do they offer warranties on irrigation systems?
A six-month warranty was promised on a system installation, but the warranty was not honored when repeated failures occurred and the company stopped responding.
Will they work around budget constraints?
Yes; one reviewer noted they worked within a stated budget on a sod installation job.

Jorge and his crew earn consistent five-star praise for turning neglected yards into finished spaces. Clients describe a hands-on owner who shows up, communicates quickly, sticks to schedules, and charges fairly. Sod laid three years ago still grows well; concrete, stone work, and tree prep all receive detailed compliments. No negative patterns emerge across 30 recent reviews. The team handles the full spectrum: lawn installation with soil prep and starter fertilizer, hardscape (patios, decks, fireplaces, walkways), tree topping and pruning, fencing, and drainage solutions. A grass supplier's error showcases the standard: Jorge drove over an hour early the next morning to finish on his dime. Clients hire them repeatedly, and neighbours get referrals.
