Landscapes That Grow With Your Home — Full-Service Landscaping in Portland, OR
From the first design sketch to the last plant in the ground, Cedarline designs and builds the gardens, patios, and outdoor spaces Portland homeowners actually live in — one team, start to finish, grown to last.
Everything Your Landscape Needs, One Team
Design, build, plant, and light — the whole outdoor space, handled start to finish.
Portland's Design & Build Landscape Studio
A beautiful landscape isn't a stack of separate services — it's one vision, carried from the first sketch to the last plant. That's how Cedarline has worked for seventeen years. We're a true design-and-build studio: our own designers draw your space, and our own crews build it, so nothing gets lost in the handoff between a designer who dreams and a crew who digs. We design for how you actually live outdoors — where the morning light falls, where the kids play, where you'll gather on a summer evening — and we plant for the Pacific Northwest so your garden thrives with less fuss. Patios, planting, water, lighting, and the drainage and irrigation that make it all last: one team, one standard, one point of contact. The result is an outdoor space that feels like it was always meant to be there.
- ✓One team from design through build
- ✓Planted for the Pacific Northwest climate
- ✓Patios, planting, water & lighting together
- ✓Seventeen years of Portland gardens
Portland Landscapes We've Designed & Built
Why Design & Build Beats Piecemeal
One Vision, No Handoffs
When the same team designs and builds, nothing is lost in translation. The garden that gets built is the garden that was designed — down to the detail.
Built to Last, Not Just to Look
Great planting fails without good soil, drainage, and irrigation underneath. We build the invisible foundation so the beautiful part endures.
Designed Around Your Life
We design for how you'll actually use the space — mornings, gatherings, kids, quiet evenings — so your landscape fits your life, not a template.
From First Sketch to Finished Garden

We walk your space, learn how you want to live in it, and talk through ideas, budget, and timeline.

We Build It

Walkthrough & Care
We walk the finished garden with you, show you how to care for it, and stay available as it grows in.
Portland Homeowners on Cedarline
Cedarline transformed a muddy, sloped backyard into the space we always wished we had — a stone patio, layered planting beds, a small water feature, and lighting that makes it magical at night. What impressed us most was that one team handled everything from the first design sketch to the final plant. They listened, they were on budget, and three seasons later the garden looks even better than the day they finished. Genuinely the best contractor experience we've had.
We interviewed four landscapers and Cedarline was the only one who showed up with a real design vision instead of just a mowing quote. They designed a front yard that gets compliments from every neighbor, put in efficient irrigation, and planted with our climate in mind so it's low-maintenance. Professional, tidy, and genuinely talented designers.
From concept to completion, Cedarline handled our whole backyard renovation — grading, a paver patio, raised beds, and outdoor lighting. The crew was respectful of our home, cleaned up every day, and the finished result is stunning. We spend every evening out there now. Worth every penny.
A Garden Is a Long Relationship, Not a Transaction
The best landscapes aren't finished the day the crew leaves — they grow, mature, and get better for years. That's why Cedarline designs with the long view and stays in the picture after the build. We choose plants that will fill in beautifully, build hardscaping and drainage that will hold up to decades of Portland weather, and set your irrigation and lighting so the garden more or less takes care of itself. And we're here when you want to add a phase, tune the plantings, or refresh a bed a few seasons on. When you work with a design-build studio that plans to be around, you get a landscape that was made to age gracefully — an outdoor space that's still becoming its best self long after the last plant went in.

Landscape Design & Build FAQs
What does design-build actually mean?
It means one team handles both the design of your landscape and the construction of it. Instead of hiring a designer, then finding a separate crew to build their plan (and hoping nothing gets lost between them), you get a single team — our designers and our own crews — accountable from the first sketch to the final walkthrough. It's smoother, faster, and the finished garden matches the vision.
Do you handle small projects or only full yards?
Both. Many clients start with one area — a patio, a front-yard refresh, a planting plan — and come back for more later. We're happy to design and build a single space beautifully, and to plan it so it fits into a larger vision for your property down the road.
Will my garden be low-maintenance?
That's a core part of how we design. We choose plants suited to Portland's climate and your specific soil and light, install efficient irrigation, and build proper drainage — all of which means a garden that largely takes care of itself rather than one that constantly struggles. We'll also show you exactly how to care for it.
How long does a project take?
It depends on scope — a planting refresh might be a few days, while a full design-build with hardscaping, grading, and lighting can run several weeks. After our consultation and design, you'll get a clear timeline in your proposal, and we stick to it.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — Cedarline is a licensed Oregon landscape contractor (LCB #9284) and fully insured. Design-build landscaping involves grading, structures, and irrigation, so licensed, insured, professional work protects your property and your investment.
