"They were incredible people. They arrived on time and submitted a very fair price for their excellent work. Several neighbors have already complemented us on how beautiful our new yard looks. They were wonderful and very positive to work with and made several suggestions that greatly improved our yard. They are true artists!. They are the best of the best in the landscaping profession. Pablo is a very positive and helpful person. You will not find a better professional group to work with. I would hire them again in a second and highly recommend them for your landscaping needs."

"Israel and his team were great to work with and I am really happy with both of the projects they competed for me. They replaced an old, failing retaining wall with a beautiful stone retaining wall with a French drain behind it. I showed Israel pictures of what I wanted it to look like and his team did an amazing job making my vision a reality. They were careful with my existing plants and landscaping and went above and beyond by moving and repotting a shrub that I was unable to move by myself before the work began. They also replaced parts of my backyard that had been removed by neighbors and built a beautiful new fence and gate out of cedar. They did an amazing job matching the style of the existing fence and my yard looks so much better now. I am so happy with everything and I would work with GI Landscaping again anytime!"

"All in One Excavation & Landscaping have done work for me for years. They provide lawn maintenance, bush and large tree trimming, gutter cleaning, replaced my lawn due to poor drainage, and replaced my wooden fence. They are professional, courteous, thorough, and flexible in all they due. Cost varies depending upon what I've asked them to do that day. Many in my neighborhood have used some of their services. They customize each bi-monthly visit to our needs. Their pricing is reasonable and I've been very happy with their services."

"Blessing Landscapes is truly a blessing! They are professional, skilled and responsive. Maintenance is dependable and they have modified regular pruning of shrubs and bushes for my specific request, "a free-flowing" look in pruning. Design projects have been collaborative with several options given, photos, etc. I can't recommend them highly enough."

"Crow has been wonderful to work with. They really know their business, are honest in their dealings, show up on time, and work hard and efficiently. I feel that they really listen to me. Although my entire yard is being re-landscaped, I am doing it over time, and they have been very flexible and helpful. Their fees are very reasonable. I have recommended Crow Landscapes to my realtor and to others who have seen the progressive transformation of my yard and asked about the designer."

FAQs for architect service projects in Portland, OR

Homeowners hire a landscape architect for yard design during the initial construction of their home or for complex projects involving the installation of pools or other structures. For those planning to completely redesign their outdoor space or make significant structural changes, such as adding a swimming pool or other substantial structures, engaging a landscape architect is advisable before hiring a landscaper for construction. The architect provides construction documents for the landscaper to execute the agreed-upon plan.

The time required to design a landscape depends on the complexity of the vision and the size of the property. A small yard may take a couple of days, while a substantial property with plans to add multiple structures, such as a pool, outdoor kitchen, and living area, can take up to four weeks. Additionally, collaboration between the homeowner and the architect may extend the timeline to finalize a satisfactory design.

Typically, payment to a landscape architect is due upon completion of the design, agreement on the plans, and preparation of construction documents. A deposit may be required up front to secure their services. Some architects charge a flat fee, while others charge up to 30 percent of the total project cost. For more substantial projects, it may be possible to arrange a payment plan or milestone payments.

Landscape design and architectural plans can be completed at any time of year, although you might get a better deal during the colder months. Actually implementing the landscaping itself should wait until spring for planting projects and, ideally, until summer for large-scale hardscaping projects like laying a patio or installing a swimming pool.
