Professional Landscaping Services in Portland, OR 97213 - Creative Landscapes

Absolutely. Poor drainage and standing water are common issues in our area due to soil composition and rainfall. We start with a thorough site assessment to identify the source of the problem. Our earthmoving and regrading services can reshape your property to create positive drainage away from your home's foundation. We often integrate solutions like French drains, dry creek beds, or permeable paving into a new landscape design, not only solving the water issue but turning it into a functional and attractive part of your garden.

Yes, we are a design-build firm, which means we handle the entire process from initial concept to final installation. Nick Erickson, with 35 years in the field, leads our design team, creating plans that are both beautiful and buildable. Our own construction crews then execute that vision. This integrated approach ensures seamless communication, consistent quality, and that the final build accurately reflects the designed intent, from complex hardscapes like patios and retaining walls to the specific placement of every plant.

We design landscapes to suit our local climate and our clients' tastes. We have extensive experience creating water-wise xeriscapes, eco-friendly native plant gardens that support local wildlife, lush shade gardens perfect for our wooded neighborhoods, and serene Asian-inspired gardens. Our philosophy is to use interesting, beautiful plant material that works well here. We focus on combinations of color, texture, and even fragrance to build a garden that is distinctive and thrives year-round in the Portland area.
