Grounds Maintenance in Hillsboro
Structured, Year-Round Grounds Care for Commercial Properties & HOAs Since 1998
Commercial properties and HOA communities in Hillsboro need more than occasional lawn care. They need a reliable partner who shows up on schedule, covers every corner of the property, and maintains curb appeal through every season. Preferred Landscape Services has delivered exactly that since 1998, serving property managers, HOA boards, and commercial clients across Washington County with structured grounds maintenance programs built around consistent results.
We’re fully bonded and insured, and our founders, David and Gabrielle Jensen, built this company on a straightforward principle: honest, dependable service. That commitment has earned us the Angie’s List Super Service Award every year since 2006.

We structure our commercial grounds maintenance around two core service levels, so property managers can match the program to their property type and budget. See our full maintenance packages for detailed pricing. Both levels cover the recurring work that keeps a property presentable week to week, while Level 3 adds ornamental plant and shrub care for properties with more complex landscaping.
Level 2 Service
Level 2 is our standard recurring program, covering the core tasks that maintain turf health and property appearance throughout the season.
Level 2 Service includes:
- Mowing and edging
- Fertilizing and weed control
- Yearly lime application to support soil health
- Clearing walkways and driveways
- Weeding and raking beds
- Leaf removal
Level 3 Service
Level 3 includes everything in Level 2 and adds pruning of plants and shrubs, making it the right fit for properties with more complex ornamental landscaping.
Additional Maintenance Services
Beyond the core packages, we provide bark dusting and mulching for flower beds, landscape cleanup, debris removal, and removal of other site waste. Our crews use professional-grade tools and receive consistent training to meet commercial standards on every visit. As a RainBird Select Contractor, we also bring certified knowledge of efficient irrigation practices that support overall grounds health.
A Year-Round Service Schedule You Can Count On
One of the most common frustrations property managers have with grounds contractors is inconsistency. Visits that fall behind schedule affect tenant perception, HOA compliance, and property inspections. We build our service calendar to remove that uncertainty.
From March through mid-November, your property receives weekly service. During December, January, and February, we maintain a minimum of two visits per month to manage debris, leaf litter, and winter site conditions. Every maintenance package is developed with your budget and scheduling needs in mind, so there’s no one-size-fits-all contract.
Why Hillsboro Property Managers Choose Preferred Landscape Services
Accountability matters when you’re coordinating grounds care across a commercial site or HOA community. Our on-time arrival commitment means you don’t have to chase down your crew or reschedule around missed appointments. We back our work with a satisfaction guarantee and competitive warranties on both labor and materials.
Our credentials reflect a long-standing investment in professional development:
- Bonded and insured to protect your property and organization from liability during routine grounds work
- Angie’s List Super Service Award recipient every year since 2006
- RainBird Select Contractor status for certified irrigation knowledge
- Certified backflow testing capability for properties with irrigation systems

Property managers working with multiple vendors often find that coordinating mowing, pruning, fertilization, and cleanup separately creates gaps in coverage and accountability. A single grounds maintenance contract with Preferred Landscape Services consolidates that work under one team that knows your property.

The Pacific Northwest growing cycle drives the grounds maintenance calendar in ways that differ significantly from drier regions. Hillsboro and the Portland Metro area receive heavy rainfall from October through April, and that moisture brings leaf litter accumulation, moss development, and drainage challenges that require regular site visits even when turf growth slows. Winter grounds visits aren’t optional on commercial properties. They’re what keeps walkways clear, beds managed, and drainage paths open.
Spring and early summer shift the challenge entirely. Rapid turf growth and increased weed pressure mean that weekly mowing and edging visits directly affect how a property looks to tenants, customers, and guests. Consistent mowing height during this period is one of the most visible indicators of whether a property is actively managed.
Oregon’s dry summers create a different set of demands. Turf stress from heat and reduced rainfall makes fertilization timing and lime application decisions consequential. Getting soil health right through summer sets the foundation for turf recovery heading into fall. A year-round grounds maintenance program accounts for all three phases: wet winter management, spring growth response, and summer soil care, rather than treating each season as a separate contract.
