No yearly contracts required for maintenance customers, month to month billing available. OLCB License #9292. Owner and Landscape Contractor: Robert Kinsey. Designer and Office Manager: Sarah Kinsey. Additional email - info@artisticlandscapespdx.com. Award Winning .
"Robert and the team at Artistic Landscapes were so amazing to work with. After my spouse and I fell ill over the summer, we had to let the yard go, and it took us a long time to recover so we never had enough energy to catch up. By the time we called Robert, we felt embarrassed of our yard and anxious to get it resolved. We have struggled in the past getting landscapers to follow through with giving us bids so we were nervous about starting that process again. Other crews that we hired wouldn't complete the job as described and made us feel like we were being difficult for asking questions or speaking up. This was NOT the case with Robert and his team. They were kind, communicative, affordable, flexible and the end product was gorgeous. They promised 100% and gave us 200%. We kept the crew on for monthly maintenance which will ensure that we have a gorgeous yard for years to come. Thanks to Robert, Salvador, Eduardo, Sarah and all of the folks who worked on our project in some way. We are eternally grateful, and feel like proud homeowners again."

Most residential lawn removal projects don't require permits, but regulations vary significantly between municipalities. You might need authorization when removing substantial soil volumes or making major landscape alterations. Contact your local building department or planning office before beginning work. Some homeowners associations also maintain specific landscaping requirements that could affect your plans, so reviewing any applicable community guidelines is equally important.
Converting removed lawn material into compost is often feasible when the grass hasn't received extensive chemical treatments. For best results, break larger sod pieces into smaller sections and combine them with other compostable materials in a dedicated composting system. Regular turning accelerates decomposition and produces nutrient-rich material that can benefit your new landscape. This approach reduces disposal costs while creating valuable soil amendments for future gardening projects.
Using a mechanical sod cutter delivers the most efficient results for most properties. These specialized machines cleanly separate grass and shallow roots from the soil below, allowing for rapid removal across substantial areas. While manual approaches cost less initially, they progress much more slowly. Chemical methods require extended time periods for complete effectiveness. For optimal efficiency, evaluate equipment rental costs against professional service rates, particularly for medium to large properties.
New plantings can begin one to two weeks after lawn removal, provided you've addressed any soil contamination concerns and completed necessary grading or amendments. The removal process often disturbs dormant weed seeds, so monitoring for unwanted growth during this transition period is advisable. Professional soil testing helps identify any nutrient deficiencies or pH imbalances that should be corrected before investing in new plantings or turf installation.
Lawn removal frequently alters how water moves across your property, particularly during heavy rainfall. Established grass root systems help stabilize soil and absorb precipitation, functions that disappear with removal. Your replacement landscape plan should address potential drainage changes through appropriate grading, soil amendments, or dedicated drainage features. Observing water movement patterns after removal provides valuable information for addressing any problematic areas before completing your new landscape installation.
