What we do
From weekly mowing to a new paver patio, concrete pad or fence, one local crew handles it.
A whole new yard from one crew: lawn, planting beds, pavers, concrete and fencing, planned together.
Regular mowing, edging and tidying so the yard looks good every week without you lifting a finger.
Overgrown, buried in leaves, or just ignored for a while? We get the yard back to a clean start.
Shrubs, hedges and trees shaped and thinned so they stay healthy, safe and good-looking.
Paver patios, walkways and outdoor living spaces built on a solid base that stands up to Portland rain.
Concrete patios, walkways and pads, formed and finished to drain well and last.
New fences, gates and repairs for privacy, pets and a yard that looks finished.
Don't see what you need? Ask. If it's in the yard, there's a good chance we can help.

Why Portland yards need help
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
Here is what we are doing in yards around town right now, and what you can do in yours.
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.
Field guide
Adding new beds? These locals evolved for wet winters and dry summers, so they do the hard work for you.
