From start to finish we were impressed with their professionalism and artistry. We have wanted a change for many years but every time we tried to get a quote, we were given astronomically high prices, or were asked to deposit thousands of dollars for plans or designs. Blessing sent Sarah Lowles out for a look and she drafted up an estimate that showed us all our options from the basic up through the ‘cadillac’ version. She understood what we wanted and thoroughly discussed everything with us. Throughout the project she checked in to make sure everything was as expected. Hidilberto & Alejandro worked tirelessly to demo the back yard, lay down new pavers, install liners and pea gravel, install a new drip system, plant dozens of plants, and lay out stone pathways. They were professional, fast, and cleaned up at the end of each day so we could access the yard. Dave & Emily Dillon kept in touch throughout the project to make sure everything was on track. I highly recommend Blessing Landscape, we are delighted with the result. They subcontracted Cascade Fence & Deck who also did a brilliant job installing a fence, back stair, and custom covered structure **★★★★★ — HU-647276876, Nov. 2021** > Sarah, Emily and Ricardo did a great job on this project and my wife and I are very happy with the results. They were professional, punctual and had the expert knowledge necessary for our landscaping and irrigation project. Thank you! **★★★★★ — HU-205638333, April 2021** > Jesse is very knowledgeable, and really helped guide us to a good solution for our lawn renovation at a great price. Work was done quickly and looks great. Would definitely recommend to others and use them again for our future landscaping needs. **★★★★★ — HU-533091876, July 2019** > The team did an amazing job beautifying our existing waterfall. It came out looking better than we could have imagined. **Comment from Blessing Landscapes:** > Thanks so much for taking the time to review our company! It's the best compliment we can receive and thank you for taking the time to share! Jesse Brough, Owner **★★★★ — Joseph Gruher, June 2019** > We hired Blessing to completely redesign our front and back yards, including removal and replacement of the existing front and back wooden decks, construction of a paver patio in the backyard, and removal of the old landscaping and implementation of the new landscaping. > We wanted to go with a low maintance design, with no grass, and with drought-resistant non-invasive species, very loosely inspired by aspects of traditional Japanese gardens. We also had four existing trees in the backyard we wanted to preserve and integrate into the new landscape. They also offered to do lighting and irrigation installs but we did not pursue those services. > > Overall we are happy with the design and implementation. We had one meeting to look at the yard and explain what we wanted, received a design from Blessing, and did one round of complimentary revisions (mostly just changing some of the specific plants - and up to two revisions are included for free). Blessing does not do any wooden deck work themselves, but they subcontracted the deck work so we didn't have to deal with a separate contractor, and project managed everything for us as one project. The crew they hired to do the new deck (and demo the old deck) did a great job. I don't recall if our paver patio was done by Blessing directly or also subcontracted to a third party, but that turned out very nice as well. > > We did have a couple hiccups in the project. First, our contract with Blessing stated the deck would be stained, but there was some miscommunication between Blessing and the deck subcontractor, who did not include deck staining in their contract (and in fact does not provide that service). However, in the end Blessing covered all additional and unexpected costs related to bringing in an additional contractor to stain the front and back decks, who did a great job, and I think speaks very well for the integrity of Blessing as a company. > > After the landscaping as installed, we also found some plants were missing, including some large plants like 3' tall pencil bushes and 6' tall vine maples. I don’t really know how that happens, and I wasn't pleased that we had to find this for ourselves and it was not detected by Blessing, but when we contacted them about it they did make it right fairly quickly and without any kind of argument, including locating and installing the missing plants, and relocating some plants that were in the wrong place, and throwing in a few free plantings as well. They were very responsive throughout the whole process, from design to completion of implementation, so we never felt left in the dark or like we didn't know they would complete the project. > > So in summary, I would say the implementation phase could definitely have been a bit more organized and gone a bit more smoothly, but at the end of the day we’re very happy with the design and with the final implementation, so it all worked out, and Blessing was easy to work with throughout. Despite the hiccups we mentioned I would still recommend Blessing, as the overall experience was good, and the final product looks great! **Comment from Blessing Landscapes:** > Joseph, thank you so much for taking the time to share so thoroughly your experience with our company. The best compliment we can receive is a positive review online. And, thank you for your business. We appreciate you! **★★★★★ — Cynthia McAdams, April 2019** > Excellent quality of work from office staff, the designer, project manager, most importantly the workers themselves who transformed my Landscape during the winter months heading into spring. **Comment from Blessing Landscapes:** > Cynthia, thanks again for your review of our company!! And, thank you for your business. It was a pleasure working with you! **★★★★ — Barbara Peschiera, March 2019** > Sarah and Roger did a great job of listening to the desires of the residents at our retirement community for a redesigned Garden Walk. Blessing provided a beautiful and responsive design. They were great to work with, accommodating our timeline and needs. Even though we didn't ultimately select Blessing, Thank you! **★★★★★ — Jane Roffey Berry, March 2019** > The designer and I cooperated on the design of our front garden and 2 revisions were included in the price - which was half what I was prepared to pay to another designer. I only needed one revision. I loved the variety of plants the designer used and he really listened to what I wanted. The installation crew were fabulous - hard-working and efficient. The hard scape they put in is perfect. Paths and boulders look spectacular, as does our refreshed swale. They worked on a very wet and nasty day to put these elements in. There was a small mix-up over plants - our project was done in winter and some plants weren't available. Last-minute substitutions led to confusion, but when I brought this up, credit was issued at once with no questions asked. We will be using Blessing Landscapes again to design our back garden. **Comment from Blessing Landscapes:** > Jane, thank you so much for sharing your positive experience with us! It means the world to us to hear this kind of feedback about our desire to give you a great experience and your review will be shared with our entire team. Thank you! Jesse Brough, Owner **★★★★★ — janet\_cartasegna2, Feb. 2019** > We've worked with Blessing Landscape on two projects over the last couple of years. They did some hardscaping for us and also took out an old water feature. In each case, we got a highly detailed proposal that honed in on our key goals and showed us exactly what we were paying for so that expectations were set appropriately. The crews that worked on each project were professional, knowledgeable and efficient. The project costs were very competitive and they've honored their product warranties. We would highly recommend the company. **Comment from Blessing Landscapes:** > Hi Janet! Thank you so much for your continued business and for taking the time to review your experience with our company! It was a pleasure working with you! **★★★★★ — Liz and Kevin Ferguson, Jan. 2019** > Blessing Landscape services were beyond our expectations! They totally landscaped our backyard to perfection. We had very few issues, however anything that came up was fixed quickly and to our satisfaction. They stayed in contact with us before and during the project. It was completed ahead of schedule in time for the holidays. I would highly recommend Blessing Landscape for a professional company that keeps their word and over delivers! **Comment from Blessing Landscapes:** > Liz & Kevin, > Thank you for taking the time to share your experience online! It's really the best way someone can reward us for a job well done, because not only do we get to share your review with our entire team, but the public gets to know about your experience with us too. Thank you!! Jesse Brough, Owner **★★★★★ — Bruce Hassold, Sept. 2018** > Hi Jesse, > > Just a quick note to say “thank you” for the wonderful work your team did landscaping our yard. > Stacy’s mom passed away this spring and her garden was one of her joys. > We decided to use some of her inheritance to landscape our yard in her honor and memory. > > Roger put together a fabulous design that clearly reflected that he was listening to our desires. > Throughout the project he was responsive to our questions and helped us with a few changes along the way. > > Ruben did a great job supervising the crew on site and making sure we were happy at every stage. > > Most of all I want to commend the guys who had their hands on the shovels. > Euclides, Mariano, and Eddie were the three who were on site most often. > They worked hard, respected our home and our neighborhood, and cleaned up each day. > But more important, it was obvious they cared about their work and that it was done properly and to our satisfaction. > Just one short example. > Toward the very end of the project they were getting ready to install new sod. > Mariano noticed that the type of sod that arrived in the order was different from the existing grass at our property. > We might not have noticed until the grass was already installed, but he knew right away. > So he called Ruben, and Ruben called Roger, and he called me to let me know they’d have the correct grass on site the next day. > > Thanks again, and please extend our thanks to your entire team. **★★★★★ — Robin Nelson, Nov. 2017** > This company was very personable and professional. They took the time to understand what it is we were looking for in a landscape design and never tried to "sell" us something we didn't need. The work crew worked really hard, cleaned up at the end of each day, and completed the job even more efficiently that we expect. I highly recommend them. **Comment from Blessing Landscapes:** > Thank you so much for the positive review and for your business!

Is it solid or semi- solid or semi-transparent? A: We did not install the decking - just the containers & plantings. I do know the decking was synthetic - not a stain - but I'm not sure who the manufacturer is. **Q: Stone color for retaining wall** *(in Photo Questions)* What stone color and style is the retaining wall from Mutual Materials? Thank you! A: Thank you for your inquiry. That project was installed quite some time ago, but I believe the product type is Echo Ridge Country Ledgestone. Thanks! **Q: Love this fountain! Where is it from?** *(in Photo Questions)* We are looking to do something like this in our backyard. Where can we get this exact fountain? Thank you! A: This was a custom built wall fountain. You will need to contact a mason in your area to see if they can build it. If you are in the Portland, OR area, we can help. :) **Q: Can you please provide the name of the patio paver and color used?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Belgard Lafitte patio slab. Victorian color.
