Portland yards have to handle rain, clay, and a bone-dry August
From Irvington's mature gardens to new builds out in the West Hills, Portland soil is heavy clay that holds water all winter and bakes hard in summer. We grade for drainage first, amend the soil properly, and plant Willamette Valley natives and proven performers that look good in February and survive without daily watering in August. The result is a yard that reads as intentional in every season, not just the week it goes in.
