Question 1

What types of landscape design projects do you handle in the Willamette Valley?

Accepted Answer

We manage everything from "simple and clean" updates to complex outdoor living transformations. This includes custom patios, fire pits, retaining walls, and water features. Whether you have a flat suburban lot or a sloped property in the Santiam Canyon, we tailor our designs to the specific geography and drainage needs of your land.

Question 2

Do I need a permit for my outdoor living project?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the scope! Many landscape enhancements don’t require permits, but larger structures like high retaining walls, covered outdoor kitchens, or extensive electrical work often do. Part of our "professional touch" includes navigating local building codes in Salem, Stayton, and surrounding areas to ensure your project is fully compliant.

Question 3

Can you design landscapes that look good year-round in Oregon?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We specialize in "four-season interest." Given our rainy winters and dry summers, we prioritize proper drainage and select a mix of evergreen foliage, hardscaping, and seasonal blooms so your outdoor space remains functional and beautiful even during the greyest Willamette Valley months.

Question 4

How long does the design-to-build process typically take?

Accepted Answer

While every project is unique, the design phase usually takes 2-4 weeks. Once the Work Proposal is signed, the timeline depends on material availability and the season. By leveraging our extensive network of green industry professionals, we work to keep your project moving efficiently from the initial consultation to the final walkthrough.

Question 5

How much should I budget for a landscape design renovation?

Accepted Answer

Landscape investments typically range from 10% to 20% of your home’s value, depending on the complexity. Because we prioritize "long-term goals," we can help you phase your project, beginning with a master plan and executing the build in stages that fit your timeline and budget.

Question 6

Do you install pools or outdoor kitchens?

Accepted Answer

We certainly do! While our core expertise is in landscape construction, we are fully equipped to handle a wide variety of outdoor projects, including decks, pools, and outdoor kitchens. For specialized work that falls outside of our immediate "wheelhouse," we partner with a trusted network of subcontractors to ensure every detail meets our high standards. This allows us to act as your General Contractor; we can design your dream space from the ground up and oversee the entire installation process so you only have to worry about one point of contact.
