Welcome to our blog!

We wanted a good place to share great projects and some of our expertise with our clients and the world at large, so when we put this new site together, it was important to us to include an awesome blog.

I hope you’ll take a moment to check out some of our posts. We can always be reached through the contact info at the bottom of the page, feel free to give us a call with any questions.

Sunbathing on the patio

Here’s an awesome example of how a landscaper can take a fine yard and turn it into something incredible. The first image here is the yard we started with.

As you can see, the redesign of this backyard not only made it a more practical space to entertain and relax in, but the clean lines of the patio make the area feel easily twice as large.

We were able to help the homeowner keep their personal style in the look of the space, and now this backyard can be shared even better with friends and family.

If you want to get a lot more out of your yard, or are just sick of that cookie cutter builder basic landscaping, give us a call and we can give you something you’ll love.

Custom step and pathway patterns

There are a number of popular hardscape patterns for pathways, driveways, and patios. Here’s a breakdown of some of the more common requests.

Here are two different patterns we used on a recent project. These patterns are a custom pattern one of our reps designed with input from the homeowner. The homeowner liked an element of a popular design, but the space and specifics of the project required us to improvise a way to implement that shape into the greater pattern that would look cohesive on the property.

Do you have a mental picture of a pathway for your home in Vancouver? Would that sloped area in your yard in Camas really benefit from some steps? Want that rustic cobblestone look to tie together your front yard in Portland? We can work with you to make that into a reality. Give us a call.

Grading on a curve

Here’s a recent paver project we did. This is a small project that looks pretty unassuming at first glance. multigradepavers

You might not be able to tell, but there’s a large tree root growing here– the concrete sidewalk panel was suspended half in the air (like a see-saw!), lifted off the ground by the root.

Our crew installed these pavers on more than half a dozen distinct grades so that the tree root can grow and shift without breaking the pathway. The pavers will shift and adjust to the root’s growth. This is a common concern in older construction areas. The customer agreed that our paver solution fit in nicely with the look of this particular downtown Vancouver neighborhood.
