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.
Outdoor lighting enhances safety and security by illuminating pathways and deterring trespassers, keeping your property and loved ones protected
With outdoor lighting, you can enjoy your outdoor space beyond daylight hours, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for relaxation, entertainment, and dining.
Outdoor lighting adds visual charm to your home’s exterior, accentuating architectural features and landscaping, elevating the overall appeal and potential value of your property.
Here’s the deal: We don’t do contracts. We earn your business on every visit. We want you to be totally thrilled with our service. So absolutely delighted that you will recommend us to your friends and neighbors. Frankly, we want to take care of your lawn forever. You are the judge, if our work is not excellent we will re-do the item in question for FREE. If you are still not happy, you will not owe us a single penny for that service.
Crazy, right? We thought so. In fact, if we were not the company we claim to be, that guarantee would probably cost us a small fortune. So we’re proud of that.

3 Ways Modern Irrigation Systems Help Your Landscape
All too often, homeowners assume that if they have a functional irrigation system, there’s no need to worry. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case. Many older homes have outdated irrigation systems. While these systems may work, they aren’t efficient in the way newer systems can be. Older systems are often outdated, in poor condition, and in drastic need of repairs. This means your irrigation system could be doing your landscape more harm than good. It could also be costing you hundreds of extra dollars each year.
Updated irrigation systems use technology in a variety of ways to give your landscape the exact amount of water where it’s needed most. This means you save water and money while getting a healthier lawn. A modern irrigation system offers these improvements.
Unlike many landscape and irrigation companies that only install or maintain irrigation systems, we offer a full line of services for the complete care of your irrigation system. Simple Lawns & Landscape Design is a full-service landscaping company, which means you don’t have to call in another company to take care of a portion of your landscape needs. We take care of every service that arises concerning your irrigation system. Proper irrigation is the key to healthy, beautiful landscapes, and we take these systems seriously. We provide the following irrigation services to keep Portland, Oregon landscapes pristine.
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.

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.

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.

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.
