How We Work

From your first conversation to the final walkthrough, we guide you step by step.

What's Involved in Your Landscape Project

Most landscape and hardscape projects move through three main phases. We'll walk your property, listen to your vision, and show you exactly what comes next.

1

Site Walkthrough & Listening

We visit your Camas property—checking slopes, sun exposure, soil, and existing trees. You share what matters: entertaining space, privacy, low-maintenance plantings, or year-round color near Lacamas Lake views.

2

Design & Approval

We create a custom design—showing materials, plant placement, patio layout, and how the finished space fits your lifestyle. Revisions are built in; you approve before we dig.

3

Build & Finishing

Our crew handles grading, hardscape installation, planting, and cleanup. You'll see steady progress and understand what's happening. Final walk-through ensures everything meets our standard.

You'll always know what's happening next—and when.

Our Services

Custom hardscape and landscape solutions for every yard in Camas—whether you're in Prune Hill with mountain views or downtown near the historic core.

Paver Patios

A well-built paver patio becomes your outdoor room. We choose materials—permeable pavers, natural stone, or porcelain—that suit Camas's wet winters and sunny summers. Proper base prep ensures patios stay level for years.

  • Custom shapes and patterns for any yard size
  • Eco-friendly permeable pavers for drainage
  • Built-in seating, fire pits, or outdoor kitchens

Retaining wall in sloped Camas yard

Retaining Walls

Camas's rolling hills mean many yards slope steeply. Retaining walls create level planting beds, prevent erosion, and open up usable backyard space. We build with block, timber, or natural stone.

  • Single to multi-tier designs for sloped properties
  • Proper drainage to protect your home
  • Plants and finishing touches included

Paver Driveways

A paver driveway catches eyes at the curb and adds curb appeal to Camas homes. Pavers drain better than concrete, last decades with proper care, and come in colors and patterns that match your home.

  • Eco-friendly drainage (no ponding in winter rains)
  • Durable for our wet Pacific Northwest climate
  • Custom borders and patterns

Outdoor Kitchens

Camas's warm, dry summers are made for cooking and gathering outside. We design and build outdoor kitchens with grills, sinks, storage, and countertops—turning your yard into an extension of home.

  • Built-in grills, smokers, and pizza ovens
  • Weather-resistant counters and cabinetry
  • Lighting and power for evening use

Pergolas & Decks

A pergola frames views of Mount Hood or Lacamas Lake while providing dappled shade. Decks work especially well on sloped yards, giving level gathering space near the house. Both add rooms to your outdoor living.

  • Custom sizes and finishes for any home style
  • Built to local code and our high standard
  • Integrated lighting and vining plants included

Backyard Renovations

Many newer Camas homes have blank canvas backyards. We transform them with a complete vision: grading and drainage, patio, plantings, privacy screens, and lighting that works for both family life and entertaining.

  • Master-planned layouts for sloped or flat yards
  • Drainage solutions that protect foundations
  • Year-round plantings and seasonal color

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for a patio or retaining wall in Camas?

Most patios under a certain size don't require permits, but retaining walls, pergolas with attached roofs, and outdoor kitchens usually do. We handle all permit paperwork and ensure designs meet current Camas code.

How do you handle drainage on sloped lots like ours in Prune Hill?

We grade carefully, install French drains where needed, and choose plants that tolerate both wet winters and dry summers. Proper drainage protects your home foundation and keeps your patio stable for decades.

Can you design a low-maintenance landscape for our busy family?

Absolutely. Native plants, mulch beds, quality irrigation, and hardscape focal points mean less pruning and watering. Your yard stays beautiful without constant upkeep.

What plant varieties thrive in Camas's wet winters and dry summers?

Vine maples, Oregon grape, ferns, Japanese maples, ornamental grasses, and shade-tolerant evergreens do well here. We design seasonally interesting plantings with color in spring, summer, and fall—even green texture in winter.

Do you handle HOA approvals for neighborhoods like Lacamas Shores or Belz Place?

Yes. We understand local HOA rules and help coordinate design reviews so your project sails through approval. We're familiar with setbacks, materials standards, and color guidelines in popular Camas communities.

Can we add outdoor lighting to our new patio?

Yes. We design landscape and hardscape lighting to highlight plants, create ambiance, and improve evening safety. LED options are energy-efficient and ideal for year-round Camas use.
