Landscaping services for Portland yards
One team designs, builds and looks after your garden. Pick one service, or put a few together in one plan with one price.
Landscape design that shows you where to start
If you don't know where to start, start here. We walk your yard with you, listen to how you want to use it, and draw a plan you can follow.
- A site visit
- A concept plan
- A 2D or 3D plan
- A plant list
- A budget split into phases
Anyone who feels stuck, or who wants to build the garden one phase at a time.
Your design is ready 2 to 3 weeks after the site visit. Start in autumn or winter, and you're ready to build in early spring.
Design-only is $1,200, and we credit it back if we build your garden.
Patios and paths built to drain
A good patio is dry enough to use in March. We build patios, paths, walls and steps with the drainage planned in from the start.
- Stone and paver patios
- Paths and steps
- Retaining walls
- Fire pits
Hosting, kids and dogs, or replacing an old patio that cracks or puddles.
A small path takes 1 to 2 weeks. A new patio with design and planting takes 3 to 6 weeks. We can build in the rain, with extra care.
Every patio, path and wall comes with a 5-year workmanship warranty.
Plants that handle Portland weather
If you've spent money on plants that died, you're not alone. We pick native and climate-adapted plants that handle wet winters and dry summers here.
- Native and climate-adapted plants
- Low-maintenance beds and borders
- A plant list made for your yard
- Planting by our own crew
Anyone tired of replacing plants, or who wants a garden that looks good all year with little work.
Planting goes best in autumn and spring. Plants fill in over one or two seasons.
On a maintenance plan, your plants have a 2-year guarantee.
Drainage and irrigation for wet winters and dry summers
A soggy lawn or water near the foundation needs fixing before anything else. We sort out where the water goes first, then set up smart drip lines for the dry months.
- French drains
- Rain gardens
- Smart drip irrigation
- Irrigation tune-ups
Soggy lawns, standing water, or water pooling by the house.
Drainage is part of every Transform project, which takes 3 to 6 weeks. An irrigation tune-up is part of Refresh.
Drainage comes first in every design we draw.
Outdoor living for long evenings outside
Covered patios, lighting and outdoor kitchens let you host summer dinners and stay out after dark. A cover means you can sit outside even when it rains.
- Covered patios
- Garden lighting
- Outdoor kitchens, built with partners
- Fire pits and fire features
People who love hosting and want to use the yard for more of the year.
Full outdoor living projects, our Signature package, take 6 to 12 weeks.
Your designer stays on the project until the last plant goes in.
Seasonal care that keeps it looking finished
A care plan keeps the garden looking like the day it was finished. You get to enjoy the garden instead of working in it.
- Visits every month or every two weeks
- Care that follows your design and plant list
- Pruning, weeding, fresh mulch and leaf clean-up
Busy people who want a garden that always looks cared for.
Care plans start from $180 a month.
While you're on a plan, your plants have a 2-year guarantee. If one dies, we replace it.
Why we design for our climate
Portland gives every yard two hard seasons. A garden built for only one of them won't look good for long.
Drainage comes first
Before we pick a single plant, we work out where the winter rain goes. French drains and rain gardens keep the lawn and the foundation dry.
Plants that handle both seasons
Native and climate-adapted plants cope with months of rain and weeks of dry weather. They need less work, and you replace fewer of them.
Water only where it's needed
Smart drip irrigation waters the roots in the dry months and rests in the wet ones. You barely water, and nothing goes to waste.
