We are a small, creative, design and construction company serving the Salem and Mid Valley area. Patios, structures, and outdoor living spaces are the foundation of many of our designs. Stained concrete, composite decks and wooden structures, masonry and stone provide the footprint for a diverse palette of plantings and other landscape treatments surrounding them. Where possible, we strive to take a property back toward nature, rebuilding some of what was damaged during the building process. Period and cottage gardens, family gardens, habitats and contemporary, the challenge is to give the customer something fresh and new, a place for entertaining or relaxing, for garden art or whimsy, a place that blends into its surroundings or speaks to those who see it.
Water gardens, more often than not, become the centerpiece of the garden. They provide a place of tranquility and movement, masking the sounds of the city and giving opportunities for new plantings, wildlife, even recreation. They can be as natural as a northwest stream or dramamtic falls, or complex and architectural with unusual composition and flair. They can be simple rain gardens, which provide beauty and practical water management. We pride ourselves on creating one of a kind water gardens that are truly water "features."

A year ago, Lou Conter was the star of the show all around Pearl Harbor. You may remember that last December 7, Lou was the only USS Arizona survivor to make the trip. It was also an occasion where his friend, Lauren Bruner, was interned aboard the ship’s sunken hull. This year, COVID has changed...
Veterans Day is an opportunity to offer thanks to members of our armed forces, past and present. It is also an occasion for conversation, especially with those who served in WWII, a tuning-in to first hand experiences if they are comfortable sharing them. Please pay attention, and better yet,...
It’s so good to see blue sky again. After nearly two weeks of hazardous air quality (between 200-800) we had a sensational series of thunderstorms responsible for thousands of worrisome lightning strikes. But they also dropped about and inch or so of rain. We are grateful for all the positive...
These are trying times here in Oregon, so much so that we’ve nearly forgotten about COVID. So forgive me if I don’t emphasize WWII in this post.
