FAQs

What sustainable landscaping options do you offer for Portland homes?

We specialize in designs that thrive in our local climate, including rain gardens to manage stormwater, native gardens that support pollinators, dry gardens for low-water use, edible gardens, and eco-lawns. Our approach focuses on using native plants and sustainable practices to create beautiful, low-maintenance landscapes that fit the Pacific Northwest environment.

Can you help with issues like dying shrubs or tree root damage in my yard?

Yes, we address these common Portland problems through services like shrub care (including disease and insect management, pruning, and transplanting) and tree care. For tree root lawn damage, we offer solutions such as strategic planting, irrigation adjustments, or landscape redesign to mitigate impact while preserving tree health, using organic and integrated pest management methods.

Do you provide services for DIY gardeners or consultations?

Absolutely. We offer design and consulting services tailored to DIY projects, whether it's training a grape vine, planning a garden layout, or selecting plants. We can guide you on sustainable practices, plant choices for our region, and maintenance tips to ensure your project succeeds with local conditions in mind.
