Services
Landscape Design
We create customized landscape designs tailored to Oregon's climate and soil conditions. Our process begins with site analysis of sunlight exposure, soil quality, and drainage patterns. We incorporate native plants, drought-tolerant species, and low-maintenance lawns to ensure sustainable, beautiful results that thrive in local environments.
Irrigation Systems
Our Rainbird-certified technicians install efficient irrigation systems with smart controllers and rain sensors. We design customized watering solutions that conserve water while maintaining healthy landscapes. Systems include proper drainage management and winterization services to ensure year-round functionality and longevity.
Outdoor Lighting
We install energy-efficient LED lighting systems that enhance safety and aesthetics. Our low-voltage designs highlight architectural features and landscape elements while minimizing energy consumption. The systems use durable components with long-lasting bulbs that maintain property value without increasing electricity costs.
Hardscapes
We construct patios, retaining walls, and pathways using natural stone and pavers. Our designs combine functionality with aesthetic appeal, creating durable outdoor living spaces. Projects include fire pits, seating areas, and structural elements that complement surrounding landscapes while solving terrain challenges.
Drainage Solutions
We address water accumulation issues through underground drainage systems and dry creek beds. Our solutions redirect water away from structures while maintaining landscape aesthetics. We implement erosion control measures and grading adjustments to prevent future water damage and maintain property integrity.
