Home Services reviews in Portland, Oregon

Wonderful experience. Annie and her crew transformed my yard into a beautiful space that I will be able to manage going forward. They do great work. I highly recommend Garden Design PDX.

My experience with Annie was 5 stars from beginning to end.  She is a talented designer and a clear and patient communicator.  Her process of design and plant selection is sophisticated.  Her implementation plan started on time, went smoothly and finished a day ahead of schedule.  She and her team are all knowledgeable, work hard and are a pleasure to work with.  She stands by her work and the health of the plants she installs.  I would not hesitate to use Garden Design PDX again and can recommend them wholeheartedly.

Annie and her crew are absolutely amazing—they do exceptional work and are a joy to work with. I initially hired Annie in 2024 for a lawn replacement project, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I was so impressed that I asked her to design and install the remaining areas of our yard the following year, including the parking strip and the space on the other side of our driveway.

Annie and her crew delivered everything as promised, on time, and with incredible efficiency. Beyond their professionalism, they’re just genuinely wonderful people. Annie’s expertise really stands out—she offered thoughtful suggestions that enhanced our original vision and brought it to life in the best way possible.

Tending to my yard has become one of my favorite morning activities. Thanks to Annie and her team’s incredible work, I now have a space that I truly enjoy and can’t wait to watch grow for years to come.

We hired Annie and her crew to design our garden beds, install irrigation, and dig a drywell. They did an amazing job. The team was professional, efficient, and clearly took pride in their work. We highly recommend them!

The whole extended team at Garden Design is an absolute delight—from the design phase to scheduling and completing the work, we couldn’t be more satisfied with our interactions and the final product. Our yard was truly a pain in the a$$ for the team to access; we don’t have a driveway and are tucked way off the street at the end of a row of townhomes but they took this in stride. They gracefully navigated parking challenges and many of our neighbors commented on their respectful and kind interactions with everyone on the team. I miss having them around the yard and will be so grateful for years to come as we enjoy our gorgeous stone patios and watch the plants grow. Highly recommend! Thank you Annie, Dan, Leah and everyone on the crew!

We've used garden design pdx for a few different projects: drip irrigation install, removal of a rotting raised garden bed and reconfiguring/moving another one, and design and install of a foot path. Annie is personable, efficient, and her work is excellent at an affordable price. I've referred many others here and every one I know has had a positive experience! I'm including a couple before and afters of her work.

Annie and her crew were so great to work with. From the start to finish Annie had clear communication and helped me problem solve along the way. Her team works so hard and are super friendly and knowledgeable. I couldn't believe how quickly they transformed my side yard. You can't go wrong with Garden Design PDX!

Annie and her team are amazing. It was so easy to work with Annie on the plan and she had great installations. The end result for my rain garden was even more beautiful than I imagined. I’ll definitely be working with Garden Design PDX for future projects!

Garden Design PDX was so wonderful to work with. Annie and her whole team were fantastic! They were on time, professional, and did beautiful, high-quality work from start to finish. The team was thoughtful and detail-oriented, clearly taking pride in what they do. The whole experience was easy, positive, and stress-free. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.

We recently contracted with Annie Koehler/Garden Design PDX to do a redesign and renovation of our established garden (back yard, front yard, and parking strip) as well as install irrigation for the garden at our home in SE Portland.

We have worked with several building and landscape contractors over the last thirty years. This may have been the best experience that we have had to date. Generally, we found Annie to be personable, professional, organized, and focused on the outcome that we had intended. She was on time and on budget. She kept every commitment she made. The business and financial side of the relationship was clean and clear. She listened carefully to what our hopes and thoughts were about the garden; did her best to align her planning with those hopes and thoughts; and, at the same time, was willing to offer suggestions and ideas different from our own that enhanced the outcome.

This review would be incomplete without acknowledging the contribution of of Annie’s crew: Leah, Cal and Caroline. They showed up on time, divided the day’s tasks, and went to work. Their work ethic was impressive. Everything was cleaned up at end of day. Plants were installed carefully with a willingness to adjust as necessary. We were left with an overall sense that they cared about this work.

We recommend Annie and Garden Design PDX without reservation.

Words cannot express my joy and gratitude for Annie and the entire crew of badass people who work alongside her. After working out the design, our yard was transformed from a mud pit to a glorious piece of landscaped magic. Boulders meticulously arranged, gravel spread and compacted, plants selected and distributed, drip system placed and mulch all over. Not to mention the prompt communication and consistency after the physical work began. The crew showed up at the same time each morning and left the property spotless by days end. 13/10 stars.

We love the transformation of our front yard by Annie and her team at Garden Design PDX!

They handled all of the hardscape elements of our project, including the installation of the new retaining wall, flagstone, rain garden, and irrigation system. The quality of the work is outstanding, and we love the final look of the front yard.

Annie and her crew were professional, responsive, and a pleasure to work with.

We highly recommend Garden Design PDX for hardscape design and installation!

Rafael and his crew have taken care of our yard for five years. Their work ethic, dependability, and attention to details receives many compliments from our neighbors.

They are pruners extraordinaire -- My laurel hedges, boxwood hedges and specialty trees are pruned expertly and distinctively. I've used their weekly mowing and blowing services for decades.
They do a wonderful job and I would highly recommend them.

THANK YOU TO FOUR SEASONS YARD CARE & CONSTRUCTION, and to the owner, Rafael, for the consistently good work you do for us each week. You brought our lifeless lawn to a vibrant green, you prune our shrubs, bushes and trees when it is time, and you tend to all other yard care issues that come up year-round. Your thorough CLEAN work is so much appreciated!

My experience with four seasons, yard care and construction has been nothing but fantastic. The owner and the crew have taken care of my yard for many years, pruning maintaining trees and shrubs, planting and mulching my yard in the spring. One questions come up I always feel I can go to them for advice. Post They have rebuilt a deck for us and also did some under the driveway drainage work. Their work is impeccable and their service has become a real lifeline for me. I trust them completely and feel as though they are part of the family. I recommend them whenever I can and know they will do a great job. Thanks for always being there to help.

Four Seasons Yard Care has done such a great job making our yard look beautiful and handling other tasks that we’ve requested of them. Our neighbors are jealous! Rafael and his crew are just wonderful to work with, and we can always count on them to do an exceptional job and to be very professional.

This friendly and experienced crew maintain my lawn, prune trees and hedges...basically make my property beautiful season after season. Rafa, the owner, is accessible, a great listener, and very knowledgable about every aspect of landscaping. His meticulous work has transformed my temperamental lawn into a green carpet.

Rafa will make your landscape needs his priority. Rest easy...these guys take care of everything!
