Landscape Construction project completed by Metro Mowing Services and Maintenance LLC in Portland, OR

Portland's mix of sloped westside lots, clay soil, and older established neighborhoods means a lot of properties need more than mowing — they need real landscape construction. Our Portland landscape construction service handles the whole scope: grading and drainage, retaining walls and patios, planting beds, fences, and the lawn that ties it all together, so you're not juggling three contractors to finish one yard. We've built landscapes across the Portland Metro Area since 1998, so we know how the city's clay holds water, how the slopes shed runoff toward basements, and how the wet-to-dry swing stresses everything built on it.

We start with drainage and grading — shaping the land so water moves where it should — then build the hardscapes on a proper base, and finish with amended beds and lawn. Every step is sequenced so the later work doesn't disturb the earlier work, which is the thing that goes wrong when you hire a grader, a wall builder, a fence crew, and a landscaper separately and they all show up in the wrong order.

Portland's older lots often come with drainage problems, failing old walls, and yards that were never finished right the first time. We rebuild them: replacing bowing retaining walls with proper base and drainage, carving level patio space out of a slope, and fixing the runoff that's been working on your foundation. New builds come to us raw and leave finished — grading, soil, beds, hardscapes, and lawn all in one scope.

From the inner eastside to the west hills, our Portland clients hire us because one crew handles the whole transformation. You get a single point of contact, a phased written plan, and work sequenced so each step sets up the next — instead of coordinating a grader, a wall builder, a fence crew, and a landscaper on your own and hoping they don't undo each other's work.

"Nicolas and his crew have mowed our five acres for two seasons now. Always on time, always clean-cut, and the field looks better than it ever has. Glad we found them."
Diane R.Gaston, OR
"They rebuilt our sloped backyard with a retaining wall and new paver patio. The drainage work they did saved our basement. Professional from quote to finish."

FAQ

Landscape Construction in Portland, OR — Common Questions

Questions about landscape construction in Portland and the Portland Metro Area, OR.

Do you handle the whole Portland yard or just part of it?

The whole thing — grading, drainage, walls, patio, planting, fence, and lawn. That's the advantage of a full landscape construction crew versus juggling specialists.

Can you phase the build to fit my budget?

Yes. We write a phased plan so you tackle drainage and hardscapes first, then planting and lawn later. We lay out the phases and prices up front.

Do you handle drainage and grading on Portland lots?

Yes — that's step one on most Portland builds. We shape the land so water moves away from structures and doesn't pool or erode the new work.
