What we do outside

Everything from the front step to the back fence.

Garden Design

Planting plans built for Portland's climate — four-season color, structure, and beds that fill in instead of fading out.

Landscaping & Planting

Grading, soil, trees, and turf done right the first time — the unglamorous groundwork a garden actually grows from.

Porches & Decks

Covered porches, cedar decks, and pergolas built to weather Oregon rain and become the spot you actually live in.

Patios & Hardscaping

Flagstone, pavers, retaining walls, and steps — set on proper base so they stay level through nineteen freeze-thaws.

Outdoor Lighting

Low-voltage path, uplight, and porch lighting that makes the garden a place you use after the sun goes down.

Lawn & Irrigation

Smart drip and sprinkler systems plus healthy turf — so everything we plant has what it needs to thrive unattended.

Survey of grounds before design
01 — Walk the land

We start with your soil, your light, and your sightlines.

Garden design plan taking shape
02 — Design in layers

Structure first, then color — a garden that reads in every season.

Crew building and planting the landscape
03 — Build & plant

One crew lays the stone, the deck, and the beds — start to finish.

Mature, established garden
04 — Grow it in

Then we tend it through its first years, until it can hold its own.
