Apogee Landscapes builds raised beds in and around Portland, Oregon. We prefer to use juniper and cedar woods for our beds, avoiding pressure-treated wood, which can contain toxic chemicals that are not safe to use near edibles.
Benefits of Raised Beds
A raised bed provides a spot to plant and is a more innovative way to garden. Choosing to build up rather than dig down has quite a few benefits.
- Better Soil Control: Fill raised beds with the right mix of compost and soil for your plants. It helps your edible plants, flowering plants, and native plants grow strong from the start.
- Less Bending and Stooping: Beds at the right height are easier on your back and knees. That makes gardening more fun and less of a chore.
- Fewer Weeds and Pests: Good bed design and spacing help keep weeds down and pests out. Your plants and herbs will have a better shot at thriving.
- Clean, Organized Spaces: Raised beds give your garden a tidy, intentional look. They also make watering, harvesting, and replanting simpler.
