Lake Oswego Landscaping &
Hardscaping Contractor

Lake Oswego properties tend to be steep, wooded and built to a high standard, and the landscape should match. We work in Lake Oswego regularly from our Beaverton base, building walls, patios, outdoor living spaces and lighting designed around the slope and the trees already on the lot.

The Lake Oswego Standard

Designed around the slope and the trees.

We build retaining walls, patios, outdoor kitchens, fire features, lighting and full outdoor living spaces for Lake Oswego homeowners, from Westlake, Lake Grove and Palisades to Mountain Park and First Addition. Many of these lots are steep, shaded by mature trees and tight on access, so the plan has to account for all three.

Underneath the finish work, the approach is the same as every job: a properly compacted base, walls with real footings and drainage, and a plan for where the water goes on a hillside. That's what lets a high-end patio or outdoor kitchen still look the way it did on day one, years from now.

What sets our Lake Oswego work apart

  • §01

    Compaction First, Design Second

    Most companies talk about design first. We talk about compaction first, because that's the part that decides whether a patio holds up for twenty years or sinks in two.

  • §02

    Built Around Mature Trees

    We plan grading and excavation around the trees you want to keep, and flag early when a project may need a tree permit from the city.

  • §03

    Hillside Walls & Drainage

    On Lake Oswego slopes, walls are structural. We build them with proper footings, drain rock and pipe so they hold the hill and shed the water.

  • §04

    Licensed for Backflow & Our Own Permits

    We're licensed for backflow testing and hold our own permits in Oregon (LCB #9957) and Washington (GCC #OLGUICL807RZ).

  • §05

    One Crew, Start to Finish

    The team that designs your project is the team that builds it, from the base and drainage to the irrigation and lighting. Not a sub we handed it off to.

Services we bring to Lake Oswego homes.

In Lake Oswego, most of our work is retaining walls on sloped lots, high-end patios, outdoor kitchens and fire features, landscape lighting, and full design with a 3D consultation so you can see the space before it's built. Design, construct, maintain: that's the whole relationship, not just the install.

Lake Oswego FAQ

Questions Lake Oswego homeowners ask us first.

Yes. We're based in Beaverton and work across Lake Oswego, including Westlake, Lake Grove, Palisades and Mountain Park. We also serve Portland, Hillsboro, Tigard, Tualatin, Sherwood and SW Washington.

Yes. We're licensed for backflow testing in-house and hold our own permits in both Oregon and Washington, so nothing gets subbed out or delayed waiting on someone else's schedule.

It might. Lake Oswego regulates removing, and in some cases working around, trees on private property. If your project could affect a tree, we flag it during the estimate so permits are sorted out before any digging starts.

Usually, yes. Steep and tight lots are common in Lake Oswego. We plan equipment access, staging and wall drainage up front, and we'll tell you honestly during the estimate if a part of the plan isn't practical.

It depends on scope. A patio is a different timeline than a full retaining wall and drainage overhaul. We'll walk you through a realistic timeline during your design consultation.

Yes, we offer a 3D design consultation so you can see the layout before construction starts.

If your project involves trees or a taller wall, the City of Lake Oswego's official website is a good starting reference for local rules, and we're a good next call.
