Illuminate Your Portland, Oregon Landscape With Outdoor Lighting
Your outdoor space is an important part of your Portland, Oregon landscape. It's a place for your family to gather and for you to entertain guests. When you enjoy your landscape so much, your time spent outdoors shouldn't be limited to daylight hours. Mild evenings create a great atmosphere for time spent outside. Instead of retreating indoors, consider the use of customized outdoor lighting features from Simple Lawns & Landscape Design.
The Benefits Of Outdoor Lighting
During the hot summer months, evenings are often the best time to be outdoors. Still, dim porch lighting hardly provides the atmosphere you're looking for. Outdoor lighting options are no longer limited to streetlights and glaring floodlights that have your neighbors peeking out the window. Our team can provide you with a customized lighting system that will enhance your property and make staying outdoors after dark a part of your normal routine.
When you think of outdoor lighting, you may envision a dim porch light that helps you get inside after dark. Instead, imagine a variety of lights that flatter your landscape and provide the atmosphere you want. Highlight your favorite features and create a great space for evening entertainment. Lighting provides function and beauty for your landscape in several ways.
- Safety: You may be familiar with the space right outside your door, but navigating your landscape after dark can be difficult and dangerous. Brightly lit pathways and slopes make your landscape easy to navigate for you, your family, and your guests. Imagine a trail of romantic lantern type lights illuminating your walkway or flanking your driveway. Motion sensors can provide additional light near steps and obstructions as required.
- Function: Different types of lights increase the function of your outdoor space, allowing you to enjoy more time spent outside and get more from your investment in outdoor living features.
- Atmosphere: With many types and colors of lights to choose from, you can customize your lighting system to provide an atmosphere you love for your outdoor space.
- Security: A well-lit landscape is a deterrent for would-be criminals.
- Highlights: Different types of well-placed lights allow you to show off your favorite landscape and home features.

Instead of simply adding light, you can create a luminescent outdoor space for easier navigation and additional function. Consider these options to light up your landscape.
Our Process is... ...Built on Consistent Communication
As a property owner, making major changes to your landscape can be a little intimidating. Inviting a group of strangers onto your property can feel like a leap of faith that leaves you in the dark until the project is complete. We want our customers to feel comfortable (and even excited) about the entire process. That's why we provide frequent communication and keep you informed with as many details as possible. Here's what you can expect when you contact Simple Lawns to take care of your landscaping project.
1. You contact us with the details of your project.
Fill out the form on our website to share some information about your property and the type of work you'd like completed. After reviewing the details on your submitted form, we get back to you within one business day to schedule an appointment, usually about a week out. We'll email you a pre-meeting document, so you'll know what to expect.
2. Design Consultation.
Your landscape designer will meet you at your property, discuss your wishes for the project, take measurements and record detailed notes about your property and project wish list. The designer you meet for the consultation will be your primary point of contact and project manager for the duration of your project.
3. Personalized design bid.
Within 24 hours of your on-site consultation, we'll send you a personalized design bid. The average project is around $1,500, depending on the size of your project. Payment for landscape design is due upfront. Upon acceptance of the bid, you'll receive a contract that you can sign online. Once the contract is signed, we get started on your design right away. You receive your initial design within 2-4 weeks. The design is to spec with a booklet of all details including material choices and layout including your drainage, hardscaping, irrigation, and more. One round of revisions is available, if necessary, to perfect your design.
4. Landscape installation bid & agreement.
Around 1-2 weeks after your design is approved, you'll receive your landscape installation bid & agreement. A 50% deposit is required at this time to secure materials and schedule the crew.
5. Work begins!
After all the paperwork is signed, our maintenance or construction crew begins work on your property. The landscape installation phase typically takes about a month, depending on the time of year. We'll show up daily (weather permitting) to work on your project until completion.
6. It's time for the big reveal!
When your project is complete, we'll walk the property together to ensure you're delighted with every detail. Final payment is due at this time.
7. We stand behind our work.
We stand behind our work with a 5-year warranty on hardscapes (installation defects), 1-year warranty on irrigation, and 90 days on plantings that are irrigated. We also offer customized maintenance plans to fit your needs. If you choose a maintenance plan, your planting warranty will be covered for 1 year.
