Complete landscape construction and renovation — sod installation, planting, grading, drainage, and full yard transformations for homes across Portland's south suburbs.

Professional Landscaping for Oregon Homes

Landscaping covers everything that makes your outdoor space functional and attractive — from the grade of the soil to the plants in your beds to the sod under your feet. CreekView Landscape provides full-service landscaping across Wilsonville, West Linn, Lake Oswego, Sherwood, Tigard, Beaverton, Tualatin, and Happy Valley.

A complete landscaping project in the Portland metro area typically costs $5,000 to $25,000 depending on yard size, scope of work, and material selections. Basic sod installation runs $1.50 to $3.00 per square foot. Full yard renovations that include grading, drainage, sod, planting beds, and mulch average $8 to $15 per square foot of landscaped area.

Oregon's Willamette Valley climate — mild, wet winters and warm, dry summers — supports a wide range of plant species but creates specific challenges around drainage, moss control, and seasonal soil saturation. Our crew understands these conditions and builds landscapes that perform well through every season.

Landscaping Services We Provide

Every project is different, but most landscaping work falls into these core categories.

Sod installation and planting bed construction in Sherwood Oregon

Sod Installation

New sod transforms a bare or patchy yard in a single day. We install perennial ryegrass and tall fescue blends specifically suited for the Willamette Valley's climate. Our process includes soil testing, amendment with compost and lime as needed, precision grading, and sod placement with rolled seams. A 1,000-square-foot sod installation typically costs $1,500 to $3,000 including soil prep.

Planting Beds and Garden Design

We design and build planting beds with Oregon-adapted shrubs, perennials, ornamental grasses, and ground covers. Every bed includes landscape fabric, drip irrigation where appropriate, and 3 inches of bark mulch to suppress weeds and retain moisture. Plant selections consider sun exposure, soil conditions, and mature size to prevent overcrowding.

Grading and Drainage

Proper grading is the most important and most overlooked part of any landscaping project. We grade every yard to direct water away from foundations, prevent pooling in low spots, and ensure positive drainage to appropriate outlets. French drains, catch basins, and channel drains solve persistent water problems common in West Linn and Lake Oswego where clay soils hold moisture.

Complete Yard Renovations

A full yard renovation starts with demolition and removal of existing materials, followed by re-grading, new sod or turf, planting beds, mulch, and any hardscaping elements. We coordinate all phases so you deal with one team and one timeline. Full backyard remodels are our specialty — combining paver patios, retaining walls, turf, and landscaping into cohesive outdoor living spaces.

How We Approach Landscaping Projects

Every landscaping project follows a structured process that ensures the finished result matches your vision and budget.

Free Consultation

We visit your property, discuss your goals and budget, assess soil and drainage conditions, and take detailed measurements for your estimate.

Design and Planning

We create a plan with plant selections, material choices, and a phased schedule. You approve the plan and materials before any work begins.

Site Preparation

Existing materials are removed, the site is rough-graded, and underground drainage or irrigation systems are installed before any planting or sod.

Installation

Hardscaping goes in first, then soil amendment, sod or seed, planting beds, trees, shrubs, and finally mulch and decorative elements.

Cleanup and Walkthrough

We clean the entire site, explain watering and maintenance schedules, and walk you through the completed project before we leave.

  • Professionally landscaped homes sell for 10% to 15% more than comparable homes with neglected yards, per the National Association of Realtors
  • Proper grading and drainage prevents foundation damage that costs $5,000 to $15,000 to repair — a fraction of the landscaping investment
  • Mature trees and strategic planting reduce summer cooling costs by 20% to 30% through natural shade
  • Oregon-adapted plants require less water, fewer chemicals, and less maintenance than non-native alternatives

Landscaping Questions

Landscaping costs in the Portland metro area vary widely by scope. Basic sod installation runs $1.50 to $3.00 per square foot. Complete yard renovations with grading, drainage, sod, planting beds, and mulch average $8 to $15 per square foot. A typical residential landscaping project ranges from $5,000 to $25,000. We provide exact pricing in your free on-site estimate.

The ideal landscaping season in Oregon runs from April through October. Spring (April to June) is best for sod installation and planting because soil temperatures support root growth and natural rainfall reduces irrigation needs. Fall (September to October) is also excellent for planting — roots establish before winter dormancy. We schedule hardscaping year-round since it is less weather-dependent.

Yes. Drainage is a core part of every landscaping project we take on. The Willamette Valley's clay soils and heavy rainfall create persistent drainage challenges. We install French drains, catch basins, dry wells, and channel drains as part of the landscape grading process. Solving drainage problems during landscaping is significantly cheaper than retrofitting solutions later.

A basic sod installation takes 1 to 2 days. A full yard renovation with grading, drainage, sod, planting, and mulch typically takes 1 to 2 weeks. Complex projects that include hardscaping elements like paver patios or retaining walls may take 2 to 4 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline during your free consultation.
