The White Pear LLC, Design & Build
Landscape Architects & Contractors in Portland.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars7 January 2017
“I had lived in my house for 14 years when I hired Holly Stickley of The White Pear to design my backyard. I had never worked with a designer before, so I had a lot of questions. Holly answered all of them as she walked me through the process. She and her team worked tirelessly in the demolition and construction phase, removing all the grass and creating beautiful berms and pathways. In addition to utilizing plants and materials that I already had, she introduced me to exciting new plants. The following year, The White Pear transformed my front yard. I love the serene Northwest/Asian atmosphere that The White Pear created!”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars11 March 2016
“The Garden Retreat is a very professional landscape design company based in SW Portland Oregon. Russ, owner and founder, is a wonderful professional who always delivers on his landscape designs and promises. I had hired Russ a few years back to transform my front yard in preparation for selling my home. Russ was quick to propose design options, and in less than a week, the project was completed beautifully without any issues. Since then, I've recommended Russ many times to my friends and family. If you are in need of landscape professional, Russ at The Garden Retreat will transform your front and back yard into an oasis of nature and beauty. Russ' landscape designs include hardscapes like retaining walls & patios, plants, water features & lighting installations.”
Rachel's Landscape Design
Landscape Architects & Contractors in Portland.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars4 January 2014
“Between 2012 and 2013 we built a house with a tight landscaping budget. Rachel was involved from the beginning and came up with beautiful, detailed, deer-proof plans for our 3.15 acres, focusing on native plants that don't require watering (once they're established) and coordinating with our builders. She purchased and planted most of the plants (we purchased and planted whatever worked for us, and she made up the difference) and helped coordinate other services for the hardscaping (concrete curbs around two self-contained areas), bark dusting and shrubbery-clearing. She even wrote detailed instructions for the subsequent steps and maintaining the landscaping. She remains interested and helpful and is very responsive to our questions. We consider ourselves very lucky to have her help!”
Pistils Landscape Design + Build
Landscape Architects & Contractors in Portland.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars19 March 2015
“Glenn Nardelli and the whole Pistils Landscape Design + Build crew were excellent. I would highly recommend this company and my wife and I plan to use them again in the future. They did a project for us last spring that included sod demo and re-grading of our yard in preparation for install of large modern raised steel retaining wall planter beds with custom architectural paver concrete steps. This was phase 1 of our two-phase backyard makeover. The design process was a fun collaboration and Glenn met with us on site multiple times to fine-tune the final plans before we broke ground. Glenn is personable, has excellent attention to detail, and really cared that the final project turned out exactly as we envisioned. The project went as planned, both time and budget. The crew was very professional and respectful of our home and neighbors. A year later, we still couldn’t be happier with the outcome. The steel retaining beds have such a clean, precise, modern look, yet the oxidized metal adds a rich, organic textural interest that makes our plants just “pop.” The end product was better than hoped for and we get tons of compliments. We’d like to take credit, but the credit truly goes to Pistils Landscape Design + Build. We look forward to our next project with you.”
Michael D McIver | Landscape Design
Landscape Architects & Contractors in Portland.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars4 July 2016
“We loved working with Mike! He is easy going, professional, and, above all, talented. We live in a community where homes have minimal outdoor space, but wanted the little bit of outdoor space we have to feel lush and welcoming. You might think that designing for a small yard would be easy, but the truth is that it is significantly more challenging. We spoke with Mike about the type and style of plants that we wanted and he was very skillfully able to come up with a landscape design, including hardscape, that exceeded our expectations. Mike was very hands on during the implementation stage to ensure that the final landscape was consistent with plans, and even made a few minor tweaks as necessary. Now we get compliments on our yard from neighbors (and strangers!) and we feel like we have retreated to our own private oasis at night enjoying wine on the patio. We could not be happier! Thank you, Mike!”
Drake's 7 Dees Landscaping & Garden Center
Landscape Architects & Contractors in Portland.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars30 October 2013
“We used Drake from Drakes 7 Dees after interviewing a couple of landscape architects. From the start he was tuned into what our idea was on redoing our established yard. Then he enhanced it with his vision. He was easy to work with and had a wonderful crew that implemented the plan. We would not only highly recommend him but we also use him again if we do any additional work.”
Emerald Green Garden Landscape
Landscape Architects & Contractors in Portland.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 December 2022
“As a homeowner who loves to entertain, I decided it was time to landscape my back yard. Emerald Green Garden landscape did a very professional job with everything. They put in a large deck around my pool with fencing and a large patio, A very elaborate sprinkler system (Outdoor shower, flower beds, mister and drips for my hanging baskets. Large wooden planter boxes and prepping and painting cement walls for a mural, also brought in sod and gave me a brand-new beautiful lawn. They did all this and had to overcome a lot of obstacles. My property is built on a hill with huge retaining walls. This meaning that everything that they bought in had to be maneuvered very carefully, bringing equipment through other yards removing and replacing fencing as my yard is 2 stories below the road. All of the gravel, sand, dirt, sod and cement had to be brought in using large garbage cans because of the narrow walkways and stairs. They always had smiles on their faces and never complained. As you can tell I am very pleased with my new backyard and am looking forward to entertaining this summer. I would highly recommend them for your outdoor project. I plan on using them again this spring to finish up a few more things.”
