​The founder, Rod Croker, was born and raised in Eagle River, Wisconsin, where Northern Lakes Landscaping is based. He has been in the landscape and excavating business for 28 years and began working in the family excavating business in 1985. After many years of hands on experience, research, and seminars in landscaping, he decided to branch from his families excavating business and began doing landscaping exclusively. In 1999, Northern Lakes Landscaping was formed out of his home. In 2000, a commercial piece of property in a great location was acquired and a retail garden center was constructed. In 2011 Rod brought his new bride, Jill, into Northern Lakes Landscaping. She now manages front end and office operations. Northern Lakes Landscaping has two landscape crews, one maintenance crew, and an irrigation crew. Let Rod and Jill make it happen for you.
