Landscape Designers in Mount Hood

“Landscaping our 3 acres was completely overwhelming for us and we could not have done it with out Krista's help! She was great to listen to our ideas and put together a design that fit our families needs.”

“We (a team from our Board) hired Mr. Abbate and team to help us design a new Master Plan for our 90 year old, 55 acre, christian group camp in the mountains of Southern California. He and his team did a fabulous job. The end product was completed on time and on budget, and it met all of our very challenges set of demands. His team created a beautiful design that we are very proud of. Mike's work started with a very detailed process of understanding every inch of our facility and our uses and dreams for it. He helped us imagine how camp user needs might change over the years and how we could create a Master Plan that was better able to adapt. Because he has been a part of so many types of projects he had experiences that helped us to think, early in the design process, about potential challenges, that could have cost us dearly later in the project. I think one of Mike's greatest assets is his ability/passion to "hear" what his clients want and to turn those desires into a project that works well and looks great. We were thrilled that Mike's varied life, development and design experiences helped us improve our ideas vastly. You can imagine, that when a team is working on a project that they care about deeply, disagreements can arise. Mike's people skills often helped our team come to agreement when we might not have found our way. (We are all still very good friends thanks, in part, to Mike's wisdom during our project.) Mike always kept his commitments and was often gracious with us when we were having trouble keeping ours. Abbate Design did world class work for us and helped us ensure that what we built was going to be sustainable and healthy for our camp and our neighbors for a long time. We invested a lot in this project and I can't imagine partnering with anyone we could have trusted our mission to more Mike and his team.

“Ross NW performed a spring cleanup for us. The crew was friendly, fast, and professional. Highly recommended!”

“We absolutely loved working with Caitilin for our yard! We were truly at a loss as to what to do as it isn't that large but has a lot of changes in elevation. She was great at listening to things we liked and desired for our space, referring to photos we had pinned, and then creating a great design that was feasible and went above and beyond what we thought could be done with our little yard. We get so many compliments on how our home is looking from passing neighbors to long time friends. It has come a long way from when we bought the home and we are thankful Caitilin helped create the vision to frame our home!”

“I contacted Lydia Cox at Radish Gardens when I decided my front and back yard needed a complete overhaul. I wanted to change from spotty grass patches and weeds to a low maintenance, water tolerant, native plant landscape. As Lydia and I walked around my yard, she took time to listen to my ideas and discuss with me all of the factors that need to be considered: sunny vs shady, neighboring trees and houses, rain run-off, timing of flowering plants, etc. She offered several native plant suggestions that fit my criteria, and laid out a computer-drafted, color design plan that showed how the yard and plants should look in 3-5 years. We easily settled on a simple, cost-effective, creative, low maintenance, and water tolerant design that is also very bird and bee friendly! Lydia mapped out a watering plan for the next few years to help plants get well-established early on, and to keep me on schedule. I felt very comfortable talking with and asking her questions, and discussing the financial burden of a landscape overhaul. She was very conscientious of my goals and my concerns. Lydia is a great listener, and is very creative; she has a vast knowledge of native plants, how to utilize and support gardens in our local climate, and encourage natural ecosystems to thrive. She is able to think outside of the box and considers unique situations as a positive challenge. Lydia was always on time to our meetings, and able to be flexible to accommodate my work schedule. It was always easy to reach her via email, text, or a phone call throughout the summer when I had any questions or concerns. We also did a fall check-in and wrap-up, with a winter walk-through and touch-up. Lydia Cox is a highly qualified landscape designer and wonderful to work with. I highly recommend Radish Gardens for all your garden and landscaping needs, big or small!"”

“I had Linda design my garden, and I could not possibly be happier with the result. She was always concerned with providing the best value for me, and designed my garden to my level of ability. Linda is hilarious, and always worked quickly and efficiently. If you need a garden designer in the Portland area look no further.”

“Colleen has been so great in helping us envision our dream yards and creating a plan based on that. We had actually spent a design fee with another company. However, upon reviewing the design, we felt like the designer had not based the design on the style of landscaping that we like at all. We reached out to Colleen at Regenerate Garden Design. She patiently asked us about landscape design styles that we like, the issues that we were trying to address, and consulted with us before proceeding with the design itself. We were amazed that she not only created the contemporary look and feel that we wanted, but also kept our budget in mind. She added water conservation elements into the design that we cared about and really needed. Colleen's artistic eyes and practical mind were a perfect combination in creating our dream front and back yards. Best of all, her cost was so much less than the previous company we had hired. Huge ++++ and highly recommend for anyone who is looking to design the landscape of your dreams!”
