Tailored Solutions for West Portland Homeowners
Managing a landscape in the area comes with distinct challenges. Properties in neighborhoods like Council Crest, Portland Heights, and West Slope navigate dense shade under mature tree canopies, heavy winter rains that create drainage runoff, and acidic, clay-rich soils.
We build outdoor spaces designed to handle wet winters and dry summer months while complementing your home’s architecture.
- Smart Irrigation & Drip Systems – Ditch the wasted overspray. We install precision drip lines and smart timers that send water straight to the roots, keeping your garden green while saving on city utility bills.
- Hardscape & Retaining Walls – Turn sloped or unused yard space into functional outdoor living areas. Every wall and patio we build strictly follows Portland’s structural setback and height guidelines.
- Atrimmec® Growth Regulation – Keep hedges, shrubs, and groundcovers looking freshly pruned for weeks longer. This specialized treatment slows down leggy shoots while promoting dense, healthy, lush foliage.
- Low-Voltage Accent Lighting – Keep the patio glowing well after sunset. Our energy-efficient LED setups highlight pathways, architectural features, and outdoor living areas with warm, welcoming light.
- Weather-Proof Concrete & Cement Work – From custom walkways to expansive back patios, our concrete installations are engineered with proper drainage to handle heavy West Portland rainfall and winter freeze-thaw cycles without shifting.
- Shed Prep & Installation – Thinking about a garden shed or a backyard studio? We take care of the site prep, leveling, and base drainage so your new structure is solid, dry, and fully compliant with Portland zoning rules.

- Initial Consultation – We discuss how you use your yard, your budget, and specific challenges like drainage, shade, or privacy.
- On-Site Assessment – Our crew visits your West Portland property to analyze slopes, sun exposure, water flow, and soil conditions.
- Tailored Design & Proposal – We present a clear plan—from plant and stone selection to drainage strategy—explaining how every material will perform in local winter wet and summer dry spells.

"Dave Was Prompt and Professional in Each of the Interactions with Him."
Worked with Dave from the start. Dave was prompt and professional in each of the interactions with him. Crew arrived promptly each day, and cleaned up very thoroughly before leaving. I was very pleased with the overall process from start to finish and with the customer service provided by everyone that we dealt with. I would highly recommend this company.- Steve -

"They Did a Great Job, Were Very Thorough."
They did a great job, were very thorough, and the yard hasn’t looked this good in years. Even my family who had seen the place the year before couldn’t believe the transformation. I would highly recommend this company.- Judith -
"Outstanding Service"
David has done 4 major landscaping projects for us over about 10 years. We have been extremely happy with each project. What really shows their high quality of customer service is illustrated in how I emailed David to let him know I thought one of the sprinkler heads was leaking. He got right back to me and let me know he would stop by sometime during the week. He actually came the next day and replaced the sprinkler head with one that will handle the draining water bettter (i.e. It is in the lowest spot on the line). He emailed me with what he had done. Can't get better service than that!!!!- Jean S. -

"I can’t recommend taking care of moss soon enough!"
Moss might look harmless, but it can be dangerous. I learned that the hard way—slipping on moss on my deck caused me to break my leg. Getting rid of moss isn’t just about keeping your surfaces clean; it’s about preventing accidents and keeping your family safe. I can’t recommend taking care of moss soon enough!- Anonymous -
"Preferred Landscape Services Has Done a Great Job with Our Yard."
Preferred Landscape Services has done a great job with our yard. It has never looked better. We appreciate the proactive approach they take to inform us of potential problems and solutions. They fertilize when the weather is right and when it will be most beneficial for our yard. We appreciate the extras too, pruning when it’s necessary, weeding, and bark dust. For the first time in fourteen years, our yard looks as good as (or better than) others in the neighborhood.- Liz
