Lake Oswego Landscaping Services

We design, build, and maintain beautiful, sustainable landscapes in Lake Oswego

Sustainable Landscaping in Lake Oswego

At White Oak Landscapes, we bring our passion for sustainable, eco-friendly landscaping to the community of Lake Oswego. We serve the neighborhoods of Oldtown, North Shore Country Club, Evergreen, Forest Hills, Lakewood, Birdshill, Uplands, Hallinan, Lake Grove, and Waluga.

Our approach blends artistry with an intimate understanding of the local ecosystem, resulting in outdoor spaces that not only enhance your property but also protect and nurture the environment. From carefully designed rain gardens that naturally manage stormwater to drainage swales and dry creek beds that prevent erosion and flooding, we ensure every feature contributes to a healthy, functional landscape.

We incorporate native plants into our designs, promoting biodiversity and creating lush perennial gardens and vibrant meadows that thrive in Oregon’s unique climate. We’re not content with landscapes that just meet the norm; instead, we craft outdoor spaces that reflect the uncommon beauty of the area, going beyond what is typically offered by other landscapers in Lake Oswego. Whether you’re dreaming of an inviting outdoor living area or seeking a sustainable retreat, we design spaces that will inspire you for years to come.

Sustainable Landscaping Design and Installation

At White Oak Landscapes, our sustainable landscaping services in Lake Oswego are designed to harmonize with the land, reducing water use, minimizing maintenance, and preserving the local ecosystem. Our team expertly installs rain gardens, drainage swales, and dry creek beds to manage water runoff, protect your property from erosion, and add an element of natural beauty to your yard.

We prioritize the use of native plants that are perfectly suited to the local climate, which means your landscape will flourish with less need for artificial irrigation and fertilizers. Our meadow design and perennial gardens are a particular favorite in Lake Oswego, offering a beautiful, low-maintenance alternative to traditional lawns. These eco-conscious designs not only look stunning but also contribute to the long-term health of the environment.

Hardscaping: Retaining Walls, Patios, and Outdoor Living Spaces

Enhance the functionality and appeal of your outdoor space with our professional hardscaping services. At White Oak Landscapes, we specialize in building retaining walls, paver patios, and walkways that complement the natural landscape while adding value and usability to your property. Our custom retaining walls provide critical support on sloped properties, while our outdoor living areas—featuring fire pits, seating walls, and entertainment spaces—transform your yard into a year-round retreat.

Our hardscaping solutions are built with durability and beauty in mind. Whether you’re looking to create a serene garden path, a cozy patio for entertaining, or an eco-friendly drainage solution like a dry creek bed, we ensure that every stone, paver, and wall is meticulously crafted to blend with Lake Oswego's unique terrain and natural charm.

Property Maintenance For Lake Oswego's Most Prestigious Homes

Once your landscape has been installed, maintaining its beauty and health requires expert care. Our high-end property maintenance services in Lake Oswego are designed to keep your landscape thriving season after season. We provide tailored care for your perennial gardens, native plants, and hardscapes, ensuring that every element of your outdoor space remains in excellent condition.

Our maintenance services include the routine care of rain gardens, perennial gardens, landscape beds, and your grounds, ensuring they continue to remain healthy and vibrant, as well as the ongoing upkeep of hardscaping features like patios, walkways, and retaining walls. With White Oak Landscapes, your property will not only maintain its beauty—it will evolve and flourish, showcasing the detailed design and craftsmanship that sets us apart.

The White Oak crew are made of really exceptional people. I had the great joy of working for them for a few years, and really got to experience what it’s like to work with attentive, creative and kind people who strive to do solid work. The creativity, quality of work and professionalism that White Oak has cultivated in their team I think really elevates their services beyond what most landscaping companies out their can provide. If you go with this company, you’ll not only be provided with amazing landscaping care with fine gardening and construction experts, but you’ll also be working with true collaborators who actively listen to your needs with great humor and kindness. Many years after moving on, this company still stands out as an amazing work experience for me. Whatever your garden goals are, White Oak is a great example of a company that helps you meet them with collaboration, outstanding professionalism, and expertise.

I recently enlisted White Oak Landscape to enhance my yard as part of the preparation to sell my home in Beaverton, upon recommendation from my real estate agent. I was thoroughly impressed with their prompt, professional service and attention to detail. The team transformed the yard quickly and efficiently, creating a clean, polished look that significantly enhanced the property’s appeal. Their pricing was fair and competitive, reflecting the quality of their work. I highly recommend White Oak Landscape to anyone seeking reliable, high-quality landscaping services.

We are so grateful for all the hard work done by Taylor and McKinley to provide us a future sight blocker between our house and the neighbor's deck. They were very efficient in planting the 6 arborvitae including checking and adjusting depth of the holes and adding fertilizer to ensure a good start. Max worked within our time frames and kept us looped in on what day they would be arriving. I highly recommend White Oak for any of your landscape, etc needs 😊.

We’ve been using White Oak for years at our home in Oregon City. They’ve helped us design and construct some very special and intricate landscapes, exceeding our expectations. We enjoy working with Max and Kate and all the rest of their crew immensely.

We had a great experience with Max & the White Oak team! They listened carefully to what we wanted to accomplish, right-sized the solution to the problem (in our case, planting a front yard but not adding a retaining wall), brought a lot of knowledge to plant selection, and left the yard looking fantastic. We'll work with them again!

We love our landscaping by White Oak Landscapes! They were easy to work with — responsive and very considerate. They adapted their design for our yard based on our preferences (low maintenance) and constraints (budget), and provided helpful advice on what plants work best for our yard and how we might best care for them. We’ve received numerous compliments from our friends and neighbors on our front yard landscaping and would recommend White Oak to anyone.

Sixteen-year-old pressure treated garden steps were failing and we were looking to get them replaced with the same thing. Instead, White Oak Landscaping suggested a better material that looks gorgeous. Once we got on the schedule, Max and Kate arrived and within hours we had a beautiful set of steps to our vegetable garden. A list has been drawn up for future projects and we hope to be able to collaborate with them again.

Very nice people to work with. They were very conscientious about our existing lawn and plantings. Even though they needed to do a little digging around the repair areas, I could hardly tell it was disturbed. I love the way the sprinkler work and cover the lawn area now. It’s never looked better! Thanks!!

Max responded to my sprinkler repair request promptly and arrived exactly when he promised. He fixed the problem perfectly and even did a follow up call to verify that the system was working well. I highly recommend White Oaks Landscapes!

White Oak took my very utilitarian needs/ideas and created a work of art! When I step outside I feel like I’m out in nature, not in a suburban backyard. Max and Kate and their whole crew were a pleasure to work with.

After hours and hours trying to figure out why one of my irrigation zones wasn't putting out enough pressure, I called Max at White Oak. Wow, 2 hours later not only had he isolated the issue and fixed it, they replaced my old heads with new ones, increasing the coverage over my lawn. Most important for me, was his description of all the other yard work they offer. Trimming, edging, mowing, fertilizing, weeding......on and on. Thanks so much, I will be using them into the future. Highly recommended.

We were so happy to find this great landscaper. Good communication and nice to work with. We wanted some work done on our overgrown front yard and mentioned another project. They gave good suggestions and grouped it all together into one fairly priced job. They squeezed us into their schedule and did the work in one day. We were so happy we immediately requested another job, which they did the following week. The gravel settled and was a little low, but they had no issue topping it off and smoothing it out, which they had anticipated needing to do. We will definitely continue to use them for all our landscaping needs. Thanks for being so great to work with!

WOW!!! I got an early Christmas present. Taylor and Noah prepared my gardens for winter. I had not been able to weed 2 of them for over a year due to some health issues. They did a super clean up job. Will definitely use them next Spring to replant one or two of the gardens. Thanks for making my day!!!

We had White Oak develop a full front yard landscape for us, and Max and Kate were really responsive to both our landscape needs and our budget. The work was done very quickly and there was never any question about what things were going to cost. Looking forward to doing more work with them in the spring!

Max and his team greatly improve the landscaping around our home in NW Portland in preparation for listing it for sale. From a design perspective, he had a wonderful strategy of where to focus on a large property to maximize value. The installation and irrigation was done correctly and without issues. The new gardens showed really well, were easy to maintain during the sales period, and we more than recouped our landscaping investment with Grandiflora Gardens.

I’ve never seen such professional and aesthetically minded landscapers. Lex and Zach knew their equipment (and used it SO efficiently!) that I could trust their work at an extremely high comfort level. Our job was not done as early as expected, but it was because of a very wet spring and our location/soil type. If I had the money, I’d hire this company for all my landscaping needs. They suggested good options for situations, and let me choose the option I liked, even when it wasn’t their favorite. Great company, and incredible staff.

I had a great experience with Max from Earth, Water and Wood and would highly recommend hiring them. Max was professional, prompt and incredibly knowledgeable. I hired him to help out with a broken sprinkler head. He was able to fix the problem quickly and then did a full review of our sprinkler system and made some recommendations and changes to improve our system's efficiency and cut down our water usage costs. I highly recommend hiring Earth, Water and Wood.

Max and his crew are great! We've been working together for about 8 years now and my garden is a testament to his knowledge about plants and trees. Everything is thriving! He's easy to schedule with, he and crew are friendly, knowledgable people, and I feel very comfortable having them work around my house. I highly recommend them!

Max, the owner of earth water and wood has been absolutely fantastic with communication and did an amazing job with Lighting in my front yard. I highly recommend and will be using his services in the future for all other properties that need landscape care or lighting needs.

Our HOA property (River Royal Terrace) is fortunate to have found Earth, Water & Wood to rehab and care for our gardens and lawn. Max, owner, has been proactive in designing and carrying out his vision. His crew is exceedingly friendly and knowledgeable. We look forward to Spring's beauty and continuing this relationship. Thank you EWW!

I highly recommend Earth, Water & Wood. I had some difficulty finding someone who would take care of basic mowing for my lawn in Milwaukie at a reasonable price and I finally found it with these guys. They do a great job at mowing but not scaring my lawn and have great crews that come to do the work. I will definitely follow through and use them again next spring when lawn season starts up again.
