Company Background
Garden Solutions was founded by a local arborist with deep roots in plant care, beginning in the wheat fields of eastern Washington at age seven. After gaining experience in organic farming in Europe, he settled in Portland in 2006 as a climbing arborist, furthering his education in Integrated Pest Management and Pacific Northwest plant identification. In 2012, he launched Garden Solutions in Lake Oswego, driven by a mission to preserve old-growth plants and nurture young ones into maturity. The company is built on a foundation of sustainable plant healthcare, blending organic and synthetic methods grounded in IPM principles to protect beneficial insects and fungi. Our team of plant health technicians and certified arborists brings over 30 years of combined experience to every landscape health assessment, deep-root fertilization, and treatment for insects and disease, serving our Lake Oswego community with dedicated, science-based care.
Q&A
What makes your shrub care approach different for Lake Oswego gardens?
Our approach is built on decades of local experience and Integrated Pest Management (IPM). We start with a thorough health assessment to understand your specific soil, light, and moisture conditions common in our area. For services like pruning, disease, or insect management, we focus on long-term plant vitality and protecting beneficial organisms in your soil. This means we don't just treat symptoms; we create a care plan that helps your shrubs resist common local stressors and thrive for years, aligning with our core mission of nurturing plants into old growth.
Can you help with moss taking over my lawn and rocks shifting in my garden?
Absolutely. These are common issues in Lake Oswego due to our climate and soil conditions. For moss, our plant health technicians assess the underlying causes, such as soil compaction, pH, or shade, and recommend a tailored treatment plan that may include aeration and natural soil amendments. For shifting rock gardens, we can evaluate drainage and soil stability, often incorporating strategic planting or ground cover solutions to anchor the area and prevent future movement, all while keeping your overall landscape health in mind.
Why is deep root fertilization important for my trees and shrubs?
Surface applications often can't reach the root zone where plants need nutrients most, especially in our varied local soils. Our deep root fertilization delivers a specialized blend of organic and synthetic nutrients directly to the root system. This method promotes stronger root growth, improves resistance to disease and pests like those we manage, and enhances overall plant vigor. It's a foundational part of our healthcare philosophy to sustain mature plants and ensure young ones develop into healthy, established specimens.
