His crew is top-notch: from demo to design to masonry, they are artists. I cannot recommend this firm enough. **Comment from Northwest Native Landscapes LLC:** > We are blessed to have such amazing clients too! Thanks for allowing us to build such a cool driveway! **★★★★★ — HU-449759468, Feb. 2021** > Our yard was covered in non-native plants that needed lots of maintenance until we worked with Dan'l and NW Native. They completely redid our landscaping and helped us through the whole process. Dan'l cares so much about his craft and his company's work, it gave us the confidence it would come out beautifully. They truly go above and beyond your average landscaper and I would recommend them to anyone needing maintenance or design. **Comment from Northwest Native Landscapes LLC:** > Thank you so much for such kind words! I truly appreciate it! **★★★★★ — Anne De Wolf, May 2020** > I love working with Dan'l. He is r responsive, cooperative and kind. His team does a great job keeping my yard looking pretty and happy. **Comment from Northwest Native Landscapes LLC:** > Thank you so much for you kind words!! We also love working with you! :) **★★★★★ — Marsha Postelnek, April 2020** > Dan'l and his crew transformed a completely blank slate of space (front and back of house) into a stunning paradise. Dan'l took what I told him interested me (a variety of fruit bearing plants, color blooming in seasonal increments, a cobblestone style pathway surrounding the house, diversion of water away from the house, and zero maintenance for me), on schedule and on budget, and gave me my first true garden with more than I could imagine. I receive compliments from friends and strangers and proudly give Northwest Native Landscapes full credit. They also continue to maintain the garden and I can only say I am one of the lucky ones to have discovered this extremely gifted company. **Comment from Northwest Native Landscapes LLC:** > We enjoy working with you so much Marsha! Thank you for sharing your experience. **★★★★★ — Sally Harris, Oct. 2019** > Dan'l and team at Northwest Native Landscapes were great to work with. They were very professional and kept me in the loop every step of the way. They even fixed old issues with my previously poorly constructed back gate, while keeping nearly all of the old reclaimed wood. I highly recommend them! **★★★★★ — B Feathers, Oct. 2019** > We had a great experience with Northwest Native Landscapes! Even though our patio project was very small-scale, Dan'l Langer and his crew never made us feel like we were a smaller priority. The work was done quickly, professionally, and with absolutely no disruption (I work from home and didn't even have to deal with extra noise). We particularly appreciated all the time Dan'l took to consult with us at various stages of the design process to make sure that the finished project was what we wanted while also staying in our budget and remaining feasible given the space we were working with. **★★★★★ — Lisa Wisniewski, June 2018** > Very happy the rain gardens and ongoing maintenance in all my beds. Dan'l is so pleasant, knowledgeable, and flexible. He always has ideas, whenever I ask. The rain gardens are aesthetically pleasing, and these, combined with the drainage work he did has kept water out of my basement for years!! I couldn't be more pleased with this company!! **★★★★★ — Mark Lindberg, Dec. 2016** > We are very happy with our deck, patio and rain garden. Dan'l was an excellent communicator throughout the design, build, and maintenance phases. This was essential because at the time we were "absentee owners." He was very knowledgeable about local plants and materials. His crew have always been a pleasure to have around. We are looking forward to our first spring and summer in Portland, so we can enjoy our new back yard! **★★★★★ — Stephanie Allderdice, Sept. 2016** > Dan'l and his crew were a real pleasure to work with. They were professional, totally honest, and so good at what they do. They explained the cost of the project clearly, thoroughly answered all of our questions, and were prompt and timely with their work. I really appreciated their clear communication and the responsibility they took for their work. The design Dan'l came up with was so beautiful and creative and the work they did was beyond reproach. The transformation to our backyard was incredible; it is now our favorite part of our house! I would highly recommend NW Native Landscapes to anyone! ## Selected projects - [Richmond Asian Garden](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/richmond-asian-garden-pj-vj~6275591) - Location: Portland, OR - Photos: 33 - Description: This compact, urban backyard was in desperate need of privacy. We created a series of outdoor rooms, privacy screens, and lush plantings all with an Asian-inspired design sense. Elements include a covered outdoor lounge room, sun decks, rock gardens, shade garden, evergreen plant screens, and raised boardwalk to connect the various outdoor spaces. The finished space feels like a true backyard oasis. - [Sunnyside Zen Garden](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sunnyside-zen-garden-pj-vj~1822317) - Location: Portland, OR - Photos: 17 - Description: Our goal on this project was to maximize the outdoor living area with a zen vibe in an otherwise compact backyard. We carved out space for hosting dinner parties on a natural flagstone patio and created a custom outdoor kitchen. We used crushed rock to create an informal area for lounging quietly with a book. The recirculating fountain adds serenity and calm, along with plants that balance color and interesting textures. We used natural cedar to bring in warmth to the space with a custom deck, b… - [Tabor Modern Backyard](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tabor-modern-backyard-pj-vj~5781440) - Location: Portland, OR - Photos: 19 - Description: Our goal for this project was to turn a sloped backyard into a functional space for a multitude of uses: outdoor cooking, dining al fresco, hot tub soaking, and gathering around a fire. We added steel terraces to create a smooth transition between different elevations. A combination of materials were used for long-term durability, including composite decking, concrete, and natural stone. Creative plant placement provides privacy from close urban neighbors and makes this space feel a world away.… - [Cedar Hills Traditional Landscape](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cedar-hills-traditional-landscape-pj-vj~5775258) - Location: Portland, OR - Photos: 17 - Description: Our project goal was to create a landscape with year-round, Pacific Northwest beauty that solves drainage issues. We used durable pavers to define and unify different outdoor spaces, including graceful pathways that connect these areas. A dry creek bed weaves through planting beds, directing excess water to rain gardens. Natural cedar was used for privacy fencing, an entry trellis, and a pergola that provides shade from hot afternoon sun. Our clients are happy that their drainage issues are solv… - [Laurelhurst Modern Garden](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/laurelhurst-modern-garden-pj-vj~2021667) - Location: Portland, OR - Photos: 11 - Description: Our goal on this project was to create a mid-century modern entrance that provides privacy from the street. We incorporated dramatic plant textures, modern hardscaping, and sharp angles to enhance the home. Soft plants were chosen to contrast with the sharp angles of the pathways, while providing all-season interest. Horizontal privacy screens wrap the front porch and create intimate garden spaces – some visible only from the street and some visible only from inside the home. The front yard is r… - [Mount Tabor Sloped Backyard](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mount-tabor-sloped-backyard-pj-vj~5775312) - Location: Portland, OR - Photos: 19 - Description: Our goal on this project was to rebuild a failing deck and make landscape improvements that allowed for a variety of outdoor use. The natural cedar deck extends the living space and includes outdoor lighting, dining space, grilling area, under deck storage, and a built-in bench with cabinets. A rustic flagstone path connects to the additional outdoor spaces, including the patio with soaking tub, crushed rock fire circle, and forest trail that leads up to Mount Tabor Park. A rain garden collects… - [Brooklyn Modern Landscape](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/brooklyn-modern-landscape-pj-vj~5884424) - Location: Portland, OR - Photos: 20 - Description: Our goal on this project was to create a variety of outdoor living spaces in a tightly compact urban space. The landscape is about 10' wide, but we still managed to define multiple spaces for gathering around an outdoor fire, lounging on the sun deck, and an all-season grilling area. The front yard includes a mix of native and low-maintenance plants that can tolerate the shady yard. Metal troughs were strategically placed to capture pockets of sun for a vegetable garden. Our clients have love th… - [Hawthorne Natural Garden](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hawthorne-natural-garden-pj-vj~2021656) - Location: Portland, OR - Photos: 12 - Description: Our project goal was to create a backyard retreat that works in harmony with existing mature trees. We incorporated a multi-tiered deck to accommodate areas for both outdoor cooking and dining al fresco. We used natural flagstone for the pathway, which is accented with a paver edging. The circular fire pit is surrounded by newly planted purple-leafed redbud trees. We used a dry-stacked stone technique to create the curved bench. There are natural cedar accents and a custom gate featuring a stain… - [Sabin Habitat Garden](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sabin-habitat-garden-pj-vj~6077783) - Location: Portland, OR - Photos: 20 - Description: Our goal on this project was to create a wildlife-friendly habitat garden for a nature photographer.

Our clients can photograph a range of wildlife right from the garden. - [Grant Contemporary Landscape](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/grant-contemporary-landscape-pj-vj~2021680) - Location: Portland, OR - Photos: 9 - Description: Our goal on this project was to create a contemporary landscape that used sustainable solutions for a soggy backyard that lacked usable outdoor space. We created a large rain garden bordered by natural basalt boulders that collects excess stormwater, allowing the backyard to drain properly. We incorporated an angled deck off the kitchen to provide enough space for a morning coffee and outdoor cooking. It transitions down onto a natural stone patio for large gatherings. A deep plant bed was creat… - [Concordia Eclectic Garden](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/concordia-eclectic-garden-pj-vj~1822272) - Location: Portland, OR - Photos: 15 - Description: Our goal on this project was to solve the need for outdoor storage and entertaining space that also reflected our clients' unique style. We created a large paver patio with a floral mosaic that can accomodate big gatherings with friends and family. The custom outdoor structure can function as a studio, bike storage, or shed based on our clients' needs over time. The fire circle is the heart of the backyard, where people can informally gather and use the natural basalt boulders as extra seating.… - [Ainsworth Eco Landscape](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ainsworth-eco-landscape-pj-vj~2021639) - Location: Portland, OR - Photos: 14 - Description: Our project goal was to create an environmentally-sustainable landscape with durable materials and a relaxed vibe. We used a variety of native and pollinator-friendly plantings throughout, including plants to stabilize the entry garden slope. The heart of the garden is the elevated deck that perches over a rain garden, which collects seasonal rain water. Curvilinear paver pathways were installed to gently contrast against the soft plant textures.

The entry garden used pavers in a herringbone pattern with an accent tree that greets you. Those pathways continue to the backyard, where we created a spacious deck with custom pergola. Vines are being trained up the pergola, which will provide seasonal shade as they mature. We started fresh with all new plantings that provide a formal structure to the garden all-season, but feature both native and ornamental… [See all 14 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/landscape-contractors/northwest-native-landscapes-llc-pfvwus-pf~941092063) ## Community Q&A **Q: Privacy Wall** *(in Photo Questions)* Where is that privacy wall from A: The wall is a custom design/build by us. :) **Q: What is the height of the fence?** *(in Photo Questions)* What is the fence height in the front yard? A: 5 feet and 4 ft on the front deck **Q: Fence construction** *(in Photo Questions)* How was this fence made? I can see the posts inside but not outside. Was the wood drilled out then slid over the posts? We’re the posts concreted in or just driven into the soil? Also how tall is it? Lovely job! A: Ah shucks.... Thanks!!
