Landscaping Gresham OR | Call Salazar Landscaping & Maintenance

In our Gresham area, the most frequent causes are cracked sprinkler heads from lawn mowers or winter freeze damage, and broken pipes or fittings due to soil shifting or root intrusion. We start with a thorough system inspection to locate all leaks. Repairs typically involve replacing damaged heads with durable models and fixing pipe sections using secure, watertight connections. We also check your controller and valves to ensure everything is running efficiently and not contributing to the problem.

This is a very common issue here due to our soil composition and rainfall. We first assess the grading (slope) of your yard. Often, simple regrading to direct water away from the house is the solution. For more challenging spots, we might install a French drain—a gravel-filled trench with a perforated pipe that collects and redirects subsurface water. In some cases, a decorative dry creek bed or a catch basin system is the best fit. We'll recommend the most effective and least invasive option for your specific property.

Absolutely. Many drainage solutions can be both functional and beautiful. For instance, a dry creek bed made with local river rock looks natural and handles water flow gracefully. We can also create swales (shallow ditches) that are seamlessly blended into your lawn or garden beds. For soggy areas, we might suggest planting water-tolerant native plants that absorb excess moisture while adding color and texture. Our goal is to solve the water problem and enhance your outdoor living space at the same time.
