A healthy lawn in Portland takes more than mowing. Our wet winters and dry summers put real stress on turf, and the clay soil under most local yards holds water in ways that invite moss, thatch, and bare patches. Evergreen Landscapes builds a year-round maintenance plan around the way grass actually grows here, so your yard looks sharp from the first dry week of spring through the last mow of fall.
Our weekly and biweekly service covers the basics done right: mowing at the correct height for the season, clean edging along beds and walkways, line trimming, and full cleanup so no clippings are left behind. Cutting too short is one of the most common mistakes we fix on new properties. It scalps the crown and lets weeds take over, so we raise the deck in summer to shade the roots and hold moisture, then drop it in the cooler months.
Beyond mowing, we handle the work that keeps a lawn thick and green. That means spring and fall fertilization timed to our climate, moss control for the shady north-facing yards so common around Portland, core aeration to break up compacted clay, and overseeding with a perennial rye and fescue blend that stands up to local rain. We also manage seasonal leaf cleanup, which is a real job under the big-leaf maples and Douglas firs in older neighborhoods.
We catch problems before they spread. Red thread, rust, crane fly larvae, and the moss that loves our damp shade all get spotted early when the same crew sees your lawn every week. You get a consistent team that knows your property, not a different truck each visit.
We serve homeowners and small commercial properties across the metro, from a single front lawn to a full apartment courtyard. Crews are licensed, insured, and trained on safe equipment use, and we carry our Oregon Landscape Contractors Board license on every job.
Every plan is built for your yard and your budget. Some clients want full-service care with everything handled; others want mowing plus a couple of seasonal treatments. We will walk the property with you, point out what your lawn actually needs, and give you a clear price with no surprise add-ons.
Reliability is part of the service. We show up on the day we promise, communicate when weather pushes a visit, and leave the property cleaner than we found it every single time. That steady rhythm is how a lawn goes from looking decent to looking genuinely cared for, and it is what keeps our clients with us season after season. If your grass is patchy, mossy, or just never looks the way you want, call Evergreen Landscapes at (503) 555-0172 for a free consultation.
