Gro Pro Landscaping Services provides reliable landscaping in Portland OR for residential and commercial clients. Service areas include communities near our Beaverton office.. We start (or re-start) with basic landscape design, such as laying sod where needed, seeding or re-seeding, or implementing a schedule for proper fertilization and treatments. Our valued clients appreciate how we fertilize a lawn frequently over the course of the year because of how doing so helps with the color and denseness. We understand how different types of grass require different amounts of our fertilizer for peak growth. Our seeding and re-seeding is based on carefully selected seeds. In some instances, we install and maintain sod, typically in rolls, especially in sensitive or oddly shaped portions of the outdoor living space. With Gro Pro, our landscape maintenance is not limited to grass and re-seeding. Our fully licensed and insured team of professionals also handles every aspect of mulching. If needed, our landscape design team can plan for mulch to surround small plants and/or flowers, align a driveway or walkway, and/or replace soggy, muddy, or problem grass areas. The mulches we use are designed to absorb moisture if and where needed, help with fending off weeds, and add color and beauty to the landscape.
Our services are available for single family homeowners as well as for larger properties including commercial, industrial, and warehouse sizes. For example, we can create and maintain a consistent look throughout apartment and condo complexes, including everything from parking lot islands to consistent shrubs surrounding the buildings, colors and patterns throughout courtyards and common areas, and maintaining trees to provide shade, beauty, and in some cases, to replace worn or torn fencing. For townhouse developments, our team can handle projects on behalf of individual owners and/or working directly with an HOA.
We are available for a no cost no obligation free consultation at your property to determine your landscaping needs and how we can work within your budget. You can also hire us directly through the GreenPal App.

Toaetolu Landscaping of Portland OR serves the region, including the Washington side from our Vancouver headquarters, with essential landscape maintenance services, performed in a timely and reliable fashion. Our goal is to take proper care of your outdoor living space while adding beauty and curb appeal throughout the year. We are not here to constantly try and sell you add-ons such as landscape architecture and costly garden accessories. It’s about things like making sure the shrubs aren’t growing across your sidewalk entrance or the rain water isn’t creating soggy or muddy areas in your yard.
It is our firm belief that an outdoor living space needs to sport a professionally maintained look, including the trimming, pruning, and edging that make a big difference. This is why we offer landscape maintenance on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis. Of course, important seasonal services are also available. These include gutter cleaning, leaf blowing, weed removal, and soil testing. In addition, we can make one time or occasional adjustments to handle the flow of moisture within and from your property. For example, we can add soil to a small area for the purpose of absorbing moisture to prevent overflow to one or more smaller areas. Or, we add soil to produce a slope to help with moisture needing to reach areas which benefit from additional moisture. The flow of moisture is an important consideration since the Portland area receives more rain over the course of the year than the national average. However, our team of professionals is very careful to offer and provide these services as scheduled or as needed, instead of constantly doing them and charging extra for it.
If we encounter the need for pest control, our crew knows to utilize environmentally friendly pesticides and do our best to get the job done right the first time. We can also resolve pest control issues by switching to mulch or rock in order to discourage pests from coming back. You can hire us through the GreenPal App!

Mighty Green Landscaping in Portland Oregon serves the community with scheduled landscape maintenance services. We have service in the Gresham to Milwaukie area as well. Since Portland receives more rain each year than the national average, we understand the importance of managing moisture whether your property has an irrigation system or not. Our fully licensed and insured team of professionals is ready to perform soil audits, especially within any soggy or muddy areas. Solutions we provide range from adding soil to create one or more slopes to absorb excess moisture while restoring beauty and curb appeal to your property. The construction team can add mulch, gravel, or rock formations to help direct moisture toward the street or drainage system.
When it comes to irrigation, we can help with landscape design and planning or choosing the best irrigation system for your property. If you already have one, we will audit, whether drip irrigation or a sprinkler system. Sometimes it is as simple as replacing a single bad sprinkler head which can make the difference of saving money on water and/or making sure that every area of the ground that is supposed to be addressed is properly maintained. Our team can also help with selecting, installing, and maintaining areas of mulch, whether for the garden, a walkway, driveway, or to replace problem areas.
No Portland OR landscaping project is too large or too small, and we do our best to work within your budget while offering prompt and scheduled landscape maintenance service. Our other services include planting or re-planting of trees (any size), shrubs, plants, and flowers, whether for a garden area, or throughout the property. If your home has picture windows and/or sliding glass doors, we can provide indoor plants and flowers which match or enhance your garden display. Clients also call on us to help with installing exterior lighting to add color to the evening display and/or help to make an entrance way even safer. You can schedule a free consultation at your property to determine your landscaping goals, and you can book us directly through the GreenPal App!

Portland Oregon, the City of Roses and the largest city in Oregon, is known for having so much to offer from the mountains to the bike paths to an eco-friendly environment. There is Mount Hood, the beauty of the Columbia and Willamette Rivers, Washington Park, the Japanese Garden, Portland Art Museum, and the Oregon Zoo to name a few of the attractions. The Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area is one of the nation’s most scenic attractions, offering hiking trails, waterfalls, and camping among its more than 290,000 acres. Forest Park, which is at the eastern slope of the Tualatin Mountains, is one of the largest urban parks anywhere in the U.S., offering more than 80 miles of trails. Mount Tabor Park is more than 100 years old, sits on a dormant volcano, and offers some of the most amazing views of the Portland skyline from a distance. The Portland area is also known for receiving a lot of precipitation, which it gets an average of 156 days per year.
Because of the amount of precipitation, and the rivers and lakes in the area, the moisture in the area does have an impact on landscaping in Portland and vicinity, as well as on native trees, shrubs, plants, and flowers. When it comes to trees which are native to the Portland OR area, there are several evergreens. These include the Grand Fir, Douglas Fir (the Oregon state tree), Pacific Yew, Pacific Madrone, Western Red Cedar, and the Western Hemlock. Native deciduous trees include the Oregon White Oak, Pacific Willow, Scouler Willow, Black Cottonwood, Bitter Cherry, Red Alder, and the Oregon Ash. Crabapple trees are also a popular choice.
Note that it is important to research trees and plants prior to planting or cultivating in Portland for more reasons than their staying power and growth. There are several species which are legally considered to be “nuisance plants”, as shown on the City of Portland’s web site. These are not allowed to be planted in certain locations and zones in the area. (Obviously, they are not recommended for nearby residential or commercial properties either.) Nuisance plants (to NOT plant) include Norway Maple, Sycamore Maple, Horse Chestnut, Cutleaf Birch, English Holy, English Laurel, Sweet Cherry, and European Mountain Ash.
For plants, native plant choices include Oregon Grape, Red-Twig Dogwood, and the California Poppy. When it comes to shrubs, there are several choices for larger sized, including the Serviceberry, Hairy Manzanita, Hazlenut, Oceanspray, Mock Orange, and the Evergreen Huckleberry. If considering medium or small sized shrubs, the Kinnikinnick, Dewberry, Western Spirea, and Creeping Snowberry are ideal for plenty of sun and varied moisture. Native flowers include the Pacific Bleeding Heart, Western Sword Fern, Tall Oregon Grape, Salal, and Vine Maple. Plants which are native to the region include the Western Wallflower, Wild Hyacinth, Red Flowering Currant, Blanket Flower, Red Elderberry, and Lewisia. Several species of lilac also tend to do well in the Portland Oregon region, with the most popular choice being the Ceanothus Thyrsiflorus (also known as Wild Lilac).

Frequently Asked Questions
Portland receives roughly five inches more rain per year than the national average with 156 days per year having measureable precipitation. Being located along major rivers (Columbia and Willamette) adds moisture to much of the area. Consequently, an irrigation is needed more in some areas and less in others. Many properties can succeed with a sprinkler system used as needed. If you have vegetable or fruit crops a drip irrigation system helps to keep a balance of distribution of water throughout the crop area, as well as preventing some areas becoming too soggy or muddy while others are not. The best answer to this question depends upon the size and scope of the property, and of the property owner. Many property owners enjoy doing their own gardening and watering, in which case, an irrigation system may not be necessary.
Although trees can be planted during the Fall, early Spring is considered the best time, since it comes (typically) after the chance for sub-freezing temperatures has passed. This would be from late March to late May. While planting is possible from late September to mid-November, freezing temperatures (from over the Winter) can cause damage to roots as well as stopping or delaying sufficient moisture from getting where it needs to go. Note that, regardless of the time of year you plant trees (or plan to do so) that the City of Portland has specific size and type requirements for trees, as indicated on the city website. There may also be requirements in place to inspect for underground utilities prior to digging or planting.
A major landscaping project can total from $4,000 on up to $40,000, depending upon the size and scope of both the project and the property. Factors include landscape architecture or landscape design work, the cost of materials plus delivery and installation, project management, and labor costs. The suggested landscaping spend is 10% of the market value of the property. Some landscaping projects, such as a patio installation or swimming pool, can increase the value of the property more than others. It can also be worth checking with your tax or financial advisor, as some landscaping and home improvement projects may be tax deductible, which produces more benefits for the property owner.
The cost for landscape maintenance in Portland typically ranges anywhere from $30 to $150 per hour. This range is so wide due to a number of factors, starting with the size and scope of the property. For example, a property with a few shrubs and a big lawn would cost less to maintain than one with a flower garden and recently planted trees. The frequency of service, such as having the landscaper work weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, also has an impact on the cost, as does the experience level of the landscaping company. The need for the landscaper to utilize equipment such as advanced mowers or a tractor, also plays a role in the cost. Regardless of the hourly rate, there can still be other cost factors such as watering. Landscapers often need to charge for transporting water or use of their own watering or irrigation tools separately for each visit, based on the frequency of needing to water. For this reason, it is best to determine and take in to account the full cost of the landscaping you need in order to arrive at your budget.
In Portland, the ideal window for lawn maintenance is the autumn months, from September to November. This period's cooler temps and steady moisture create a perfect setting for your lawn's roots to strengthen and rejuvenate. The springtime, from March through May, is also a good time, although it's wise to keep an eye on the rainfall, especially if you're planning to plant new seeds.
Mowing, edging, trimming, aerating, dethatching, fertilization, weed control, pest control, irrigation, and seasonal clean-up are common services.
Tall fescue and bentgrass are popular choices due to their tolerance for cool, wet climates. Kentucky bluegrass is another option, but requires more sun and care.
Many native plants are suitable for landscaping in Portland, offering beauty and ecological benefits. Consider plants like Oregon grape, sword fern, and red-flowering currant.
Whether you need a professional's touch for your lawn hinges on a few things: the current state of your lawn, your budget, and how comfortable you are with doing yard work. Going the do-it-yourself route can definitely save some pennies for straightforward tasks. However, a professional can bring valuable know-how to the table and free up your time.
