Landscaping Portland OR | Call Desire Landscape

The key is a combination of targeted removal and prevention. We start by manually removing existing weeds, then apply a pre-emergent treatment to stop new seeds from germinating. For ongoing control, we recommend improving lawn density through proper mowing, watering, and fertilization, which naturally crowds out weeds. We tailor our approach to your specific weed types and yard conditions.

Patchy lawns here are often caused by compacted soil from our wet winters, poor drainage, or incorrect mowing/watering. Our fix typically involves core aeration to relieve compaction and allow water, air, and nutrients to reach the roots, followed by overseeding with grass varieties suited for our climate. We also assess and correct any underlying drainage or soil pH issues.

Absolutely. We're experts in designing low-maintenance, Pacific Northwest-friendly landscapes. This can include replacing high-maintenance grass areas with native ground covers, decorative bark mulch, or hardscaping features like patios and pathways. We select plants that thrive locally and naturally suppress weeds, creating a beautiful yard that saves you time and effort.
