Make the Most of Your Space With Our Planting and Gardening Services
Plantings and gardening services are more than just for the beauty of your yard. They have long-term benefits that can improve your outdoor space in many ways.
- Boost Property Value: A well-designed garden improves the visual appeal of your home, which can attract potential buyers and raise its market value. A well-maintained outdoor space improves the overall look and feel of your property.
- Support Local Ecosystems: Native species like the Skunk Cabbage, Sedges, and Royal Fern are adapted to the climate in Portland and are a good habitat for local wildlife. Adding native flora contributes to the health of the environment and supports pollinators like bees and butterflies.
- Reduce Maintenance and Costs: Native, drought-resistant plants need less water, fertilizer, and pesticides, which reduces maintenance costs. A good planting strategy can help your low-maintenance outdoor plants thrive.
- Create Personal Outdoor Spaces: Gardens with flowering plants like Pickerel Weed, Bergamot, Perennials, and Chamomile offer peaceful areas to relax and enjoy nature. Investing in a garden gives you a private oasis, adding visual appeal and practical use to your outdoor space.
Our Services
Apogee Landscapes has various services to meet your planting and gardening needs. We focus on two key areas that can significantly benefit your property:
- Sustainable Plantings: Create a landscape that works in harmony with nature using thoughtful, low-maintenance plantings. We use native species and drought-resistant plants to reduce water usage, improve soil health, and attract pollinators, offering beauty and long-term benefits to your outdoor space.
- Edible Gardens: Grow fresh, healthy produce with an edible plant garden designed to fit your space. We plant a variety of fruits like wild strawberries, vegetables, and herbs that will beautify your yard and give you delicious ingredients for your meals. If you have a large backyard or just a small urban lot, we can create an edible garden that’s perfect for your needs.
- Rain Gardens and Swales: Manage stormwater runoff and improve groundwater recharge with rain gardens and swales. These features reduce standing water on your property, creating the perfect spot for plants that attract pollinators and support local ecosystems.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the benefits of choosing native plants?
- Native plants are naturally adapted to Portland’s climate, making them easier to maintain and more resistant to local pests and diseases. They require less fertilizer and water, making them an eco-friendly choice while also providing essential support for native wildlife, including birds, insects, and pollinators.
- Do edible gardens require much care?
- Edible gardens typically require more hands-on maintenance than traditional landscapes. Choosing native or low-maintenance edible plants can help reduce upkeep while still providing a thriving, productive garden.
- How do I know if native plants will work in my garden?
- We will assess the soil, light, and moisture conditions of your garden to determine which native plants will thrive best. Based on your preferences, we can also recommend specific plant types.
