Earth Ecology: Best Landscapers Serving Portland, OR 97266

We tackle these problems through holistic water cycle restoration and regenerative design. For dead lawns, we assess soil health and drainage, often implementing native plantings, drought-tolerant landscapes, or edible alternatives that thrive in our climate. Poor grading is corrected using earthmoving and regrading techniques combined with solutions like one-rock dams, check dams, or swales to manage water flow naturally. Our approach focuses on creating resilient, low-maintenance ecosystems rather than temporary fixes.

Our designs integrate artistic installation with ecological science, drawing from Nick Lake's background in sculpture and permaculture. We specialize in custom ecosystem construction—such as creek restoration with beaver dam analogues, pond building, and food forests—that restore water cycles and enhance biodiversity. Each project includes personal stewardship coaching to ensure long-term success, making our services uniquely tailored to Portland's environment and sustainability goals.

Yes, tree care services and shrub planting are integral to our holistic approach. We view plants as key components of ecosystem health, providing care that supports water retention, soil remediation, and habitat creation. Whether it's maintaining existing trees during a landscape installation or planting new native shrubs as part of a larger design, we ensure all vegetation contributes to regenerative outcomes and climate adaptation in Portland.
