How We Design Your Custom Garden
Garden design isn't one-size-fits-all. We start with your vision, listen to your needs, and combine that with our expertise in native plants, Portland's climate, and sustainable design. Here's how we work together to create a garden that's beautiful, low-maintenance, and right for your home.
Initial Consultation
We meet with you to understand your home, your garden goals, and your lifestyle. What draws you to native plants? How do you envision using your outdoor space? This conversation shapes everything that follows.
Site Analysis
We assess your property's light patterns, soil conditions, drainage, and microclimate. Portland's wet winters and dry summers shape everything we recommend. Understanding your site is how we select plants that thrive without constant intervention.
Design Concept
We create a custom design plan tailored to your space. Native plant selection, garden layout, and stormwater-aware planning come together here. This is where your vision and our ecological expertise meet on the page.
Refinement & Handoff
We review the design with you, refine details based on your feedback, and provide a clear planting plan for implementation. You'll have everything you need to move forward with confidence.
Throughout every step, we prioritize native and climate-adapted plants, low-maintenance planting strategies, and stormwater-aware planning. This approach means your garden will support local pollinators, thrive in Portland's conditions, and require far less maintenance than a traditional landscape.
What Makes Our Custom Designs Different
StoneFern doesn't follow templates. Every garden we design is tailored to your home, your soil, your microclimate, and what matters to you. Here's what sets our approach apart.
Native Plants Built In
We select plants that thrive in Portland's wet winters and dry summers—no constant watering, no guesswork. Native plantings support pollinators and fit your landscape naturally.
Stormwater-Aware From the Start
Rain gardens, smart drainage, and water-conscious planting reduce runoff and protect your foundation. Every design works with Portland's climate, not against it.
Low-Maintenance by Design
A well-designed low maintenance landscape design Portland means less mowing, fewer chemicals, and more time enjoying your garden. We analyze your site's soil and light to choose plants that thrive with minimal upkeep.
