The first look at the house
Plantings and clean hardscape edges change the front of the property. That is the curb-appeal point, without a made-up percentage attached to it.

Landscaping for Pacific Northwest yards
Woodmasters builds the outdoor project, not just the fence line. Landscaping here means plantings, grading and drainage, hardscape, and retaining walls, designed for a wet climate.
The old landscaping page repeated fence paragraphs under the landscaping headings. This page uses the landscaping materials and services the site actually describes.
What the work is for
Water
The landscaping page is direct about this: drainage, erosion, and grading matter here. A yard that holds water is a foundation problem, not a style problem.
One crew for the whole yard
Fences, walls, pavers, and plantings show up on the same jobs. You are not handing the fence to us and the patio to someone else unless you want to.
Landscaping services
Planting and garden design
Beds and plantings for this climate, including Pacific Northwest natives: sword fern, salal, Oregon grape, and red flowering currant. Bark mulch and compost go in the beds to hold water, slow weeds, and feed the soil.
Grading and drainage
We fix grade that sends water at the house or leaves it sitting in the lawn. River rock and gravel are the materials we use for dry creek beds, drainage areas, and a mulch alternative that does not rot.
Hardscape and pathways
Flagstone, concrete pavers, and boulder edges for patios, walks, and driveways.
Hardscape and pathwaysFull design and build
From the planting plan through the hardscape, including a fence or a cover when it belongs in the same project. Timelines run from a few days for a smaller install to several weeks for a full yard.
Materials
PNW native plants
Sword fern, salal, Oregon grape, and red flowering currant. Low water once they are established, and they belong in this climate.
- Less fuss than a thirsty ornamental
- Habitat for local wildlife
- Drought-tolerant after establishment
Natural flagstone
Irregular slabs for patios, walks, and stepping stones.
- Natural look
- Durable
- A textured, non-slip surface
Concrete pavers
Interlocking pavers for driveways, patios, and walks, in many colors and patterns.
- A section can be lifted and reset
- Drainage options in the base
- Works with a cedar fence along the drive
River rock and gravel
Dry creek beds, drainage, and a ground cover that does not decompose.
- Slows erosion
- No yearly rot
- More than one size
Bark mulch and compost
Local bark and compost in garden beds.
- Holds moisture
- Suppresses weeds
- Feeds the soil
Boulders
Basalt, granite, and moss rock for edges, focal stones, and terraces. Sourced locally.

Questions
Do you mow, fertilize, or run irrigation routes?
The old landscaping FAQ listed lawn care, mowing, fertilization, hedge trimming, seasonal cleanup, irrigation, and fire pits. Those read like generic filler, and they are not repeated here. TODO for Andrey: confirm whether any of that work should be offered. Until then, this site only describes planting, grading and drainage, hardscape, retaining walls, and full design-build.
How long does a landscape project take?
A smaller planting or hardscape job can be a few days. A full install with grading and hardscape can run several weeks. We will put a range on the estimate after we see the yard.
Do you work with the fence and the yard together?
Yes. Photos show cedar fences with new mulch beds, arborvitae, maples, sod, and paver drives. Retaining walls and fences on those walls are part of the same kind of project.
