Why Portland yards need help

Portland grows everything. Including the stuff you don't want.

Mild, wet weather means lawns, hedges, moss and weeds never really stop. Regular care keeps the yard under control instead of starting over every spring.

The Portland garden year

Four seasons, and none of them are the ones on the calendar.

Here is what we are doing in yards around town right now, and what you can do in yours.

Prune, clear and get ready for spring.

Most trees and shrubs are dormant, which makes winter the right time for structural pruning. Storms also bring down branches and bury beds in leaves.

On our crews' schedule

  • Winter pruning of trees & shrubs
  • Storm & debris clean-ups
  • Leaf & moss removal
  • Fence repairs

In your yard

  • Walk the yard after a storm and note damage
  • Clear leaves from drains & gutters
  • Stay off soggy lawn

Field guide

Native plants that thrive in Portland yards.

Adding new beds? These locals evolved for wet winters and dry summers, so they do the hard work for you.

Before & after

From excavator to finished yard.
