Our Landscaping Process

From Ideas to Reality – Your Landscaping Journey with Blessing Landscapes

Our landscaping design and build process is built on clear expectations, open communication, and results you’ll love for years. We provide comprehensive residential landscaping and commercial landscaping services in the greater Portland area, including design, construction, and ongoing maintenance services.

You can explore the full landscaping process below, or watch our process video for a quick overview.

Setting Up a Free Consultation

The first step in your landscaping project is a free consultation. Here, we focus on understanding your ideas, goals, and budget to make sure it’s one of the services we offer. During this initial meeting, our design and sales specialist will:

Review your design ideas
Explain the key steps of the landscaping process
Discuss your budget and timeline
Address any questions or concerns

This meeting allows us to tailor our plan to your needs from the start.

Project Proposal

If your project is relatively simple, our design and sales specialist can assemble a project proposal and email it typically within 1 week for your review. If your project is more complex, we’ll provide pricing for design services (discussed below).

We offer value-driven design solutions. This means we make it a priority to work within your budget and offer alternatives to develop a creative, yet cost-effective design. The proposal process allows you to review the details of the project before we get started. That way, you know what you’re getting and at what cost.

Design Phase

For involved projects, we offer detailed design services for our clients. During the design phase, you’ll work with one of our dedicated, in-house landscape designers to discuss ideas and finalize all the details of your project.

We will always offer specific solutions based on your property, preferences, and budget – incorporating your chosen elements like patios, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, water features, plantings, and more.

We’ll always adjust our recommendations to accommodate your budget and timeline.

Design Timeline

Step 1: Initial Design Consultation

A landscape designer will perform a site analysis, take measurements, and interview you to gather all the important details of your project to ensure we capture all the design elements you’re hoping to achieve.

Step 2: Design Creation

Your designer can then get to work transforming your dream into a landscape design that is tailored to your site specifications and your individual wants and needs. During this process, if they have any questions, they will reach out for clarification.

Step 3: Presentation

Finally, your designer will present 1) their completed design and 2) a proposal for installation services. Any questions or concerns you may have about the design or proposal can be discussed during the meeting.

Note: You don’t have to worry if there’s anything you don’t like in the proposed design, since one design revision is provided free of charge.

Step 4: Scheduling Your Installation

Once the proposal is signed and a deposit is received, a start date for your project will be set. Installations are scheduled depending on your availability and ours, and we’ll work with you to schedule your project on a timeline that works for you.

Landscape Installation Phase Begins!

A week or two prior to the start of your installation, you’ll meet with your design/sales specialist and one of our skilled project managers. The project manager’s job is to ensure the installation runs smoothly and according to plan and that you’re satisfied with the results.

Rain or shine, we don’t let weather stop us. Our uniformed installation crews work year-round to create beautiful, unique landscapes. All members of our crews are highly trained and always keep a safe, clean jobsite, overseen by a dedicated project manager.

Project Completion

Once we’ve started working at your home, we’re committed to being there every day until the project is complete. Complex projects can take several weeks to complete, while simpler projects may be completed more quickly.

Once your installation is complete, we’ll schedule a final walk-through, answer any questions you have, and discuss maintenance services to ensure your new landscape stays beautiful for years to come.

Warranties & Post-Installation Maintenance

We don’t just complete your installation and disappear. Unlike most landscaping companies, Blessing Landscapes has a dedicated warranty department. That means any issues that occur after your new landscape has been installed will be handled with care and in a timely fashion.

We also offer post-installation landscape maintenance, which includes everything from lawn maintenance and weed management to pruning, fall leaf clean-up and irrigation winterization.
