A year after implementing her thoughtful design, we're thrilled to say her ideas have far exceeded our expectations, and the local birds and bees seem to agree. What we appreciated most was Ali's ability to create a plan that allowed us to implement much of it ourselves. This hands-on approach not only saved us money but also helped us learn about our land and develop our beginner-level permaculture skills. We've achieved a 90% success rate with the plants we've planted, and the 10% that didn't thrive taught us valuable lessons we needed to learn--an incredibly worthwhile investment. Ali's design was also adaptable to our budget and bandwidth, letting us break the project into manageable steps. Next year, we're excited to start our chicken coop and continue bringing this vision to life. Every day, we fall more in love with our garden--it's a peaceful, thriving space that has enriched our lives in ways we never imagined. Ali's expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to sustainable design are unmatched. On top of all this, her pricing was incredibly reasonable for the lasting impact her work has had. If you're looking for a designer who blends artistry with eco-conscious principles and empowers you to grow alongside your land, Ali is the one to call. We couldn't recommend her more highly!

I felt like she did a design that had everything I wanted and also incorporated some ideas I wouldn't of thought myself.

SymbiOp has been amazing over the last year or so, substantially transforming our entire outdoor…read morespace from something drab and dull (as it was when we bought the house a few years ago) to something that will be lush, native, and *mostly edible* in just a year or two! SymbiOp took the time to come out and partner with us to co-create the entire exterior of our modest lot, listening attentively to our desires and dreams, and creatively translating them into a reality that worked within our budget. They created initial designs, talked through them with us over the phone, made adjustments along the way and helped us feel in control of the scope of the project each step of the way. After planting, they walked through the changes and explained the attributes of each plant, gave us tips on how to maintain them, suggestions on the best products for a watering system we've just installed to give these plants to support they need to get established. Everyone who visits raves about how wonderful everything looks, filling us with pride and happiness. It's so cool to walk through and break off leaves to taste or smell all the variety of greens, herbs, flowers, and veggies we now have growing all around our house. We couldn't be more satisfied with the results so far, and we are reassured that the relationship we've established with the fine folks at SymbiOp will be something we can rely on in the future for ad-hoc consultation and advice services as needed.

Not sure if they are still in business. I dealt mainly with MG, who started another company (see my…read morereviews). Design was good but crazy expensive and they tried to charge more for design that was already in original price. You should ask to speak to former clients two years AFTER install and maintenance - we had to redo many things. Had to replace leaking, low quality irrigation - wasted a LOT of water. Water feature was inappropriate for our soil and is a leaking mess. Paid for a meadow but got a field of lupine that choked out everything else - looks like an abandoned lot of brown collapsed bushes in year two (lupine seeds cost a fraction of the price of wildflower meadow mix). They pushed for months long contracts with extra fees that added 17.5% to total. Might be good for a smaller project but def would not use for anything larger than a small Portland yard.

I hired Grasstains to redesign my yard, and honestly, they knocked it out of the park. From the…read morefirst meeting, they were super easy to talk to and really listened to what I wanted--even when I wasn't totally sure myself and changed my mind a few times. They took my scattered ideas and turned them into a beautiful, low-maintenance space that fits my style and actually works for how I use my yard. They mixed in native plants, added some great hardscaping, and even built a rain garden that will help with some drainage issues. The whole crew was always on time, respectful, and knowledgeable. Communication was solid the whole way through, and there were no surprise costs or delays. If you're thinking about upgrading your yard, I definitely recommend Grasstains. They're creative, reliable, and just all-around awesome to work with.

One would think employees would know a weed from a plant so instead my yard was decimated of /plants and their idea of weeding was hacking at them not pulling them... spreading lightweight cedar chips in a windy area doesn't work either and spreading them where they're not supposed to be spread he is also incompetence.. I'm still cleaning up from this nightmare last year. Unbelievable

Mark at Fiddlehead was amazing to work with. He transformed our yard from a sad patch of grass into…read morea graceful and tranquil space. He and his team built a beautiful stone wall by hand. He worked with us to fine tune a landscaping plan and had thoughtful suggestions on which plants to use that would be easy to care for and require minimal water once established -- maiden grass, manzanitas, sedums, and lily turf. We've received so many compliments from neighbors and passersby. I can't recommend Fiddlehead Landscapes enough.

I am buying a lovely old house from a friend. Easy, right? Yes, except for the attached jungle…read more No, I'm not over exaggerating a little pesky Oregon bramble-think Vietnam before agent orange. Think Yeti territory. Think snakes the size of your grandma. There could have been entire bars full of Irishmen living in my future backyard, and I wouldn't have known, until after buying this house. So, in the interest of full disclosure, I suggested that we hire a landscaper. Enter Fiddlehead. Dave is not a landscaper, he is a wizard. After bringing in some machine with what looks to be about a 100 goat-power, he pulverized the jungle, cut down a tree, neatly trimmed the hedges, weeded the ferns, cleared the paths, reset the bricks, and generally introduced civilization into the hinterlands, in less than two days. Did I mention that he also knew the name of every plant on the property, and they do bioswales, permaculture, and stonework too? I can't wait to see what they suggest in the way of landscape design! As I work with them I'll update this review.

In addition to…read morehaving them do some general yard clean-up, we have also had them do some landscaping and also two paver projects, one of them fairly large. Dave, the owner, is great to work with. He is a good listener, conscientious, and has a good eye for design and working with what we have. On the maintenance side, Geronimo is kind and responsive. Their teams are careful and they do their best to leave everything looking great when they are done. In fact, after our recent landscaping, they weeded an area we hadn't asked them to do, which made their new landscaping look even better. It was a thoughtful touch that we really appreciated. They seem to work as a great team and have fun together. Their costs are competitive and lead times are reasonable, even during busy seasons. We'll definitely use them again.

June 9, 2026 Over the past six years we've utilized Preferred Landscape Services (PLS) for…read moremultiple projects and have always been pleased with the final product. They installed our beautiful paver patio with a french drain 5 yrs and did an awesome job!! We had no hesitation when scheduling PLS to power wash the patio and replace the polymeric sand. I asked Dave what the power washers PSI was, he indicated it would be a 3,500 PSI. We'd always used a battery operated 450 PSI power washer so I researched the appropriate PSI for washing pavers. Everything I read recommended a 1,000 to 1,500 PSI which caused concern. Given PLS installed the patio and our comfort with their services we trusted PLS and dismissed our concerns. A 4,200 PLS power was used to power washed the patio which severely damaged the edge of multiple pavers. Dave offered to look at the results. His response was "they did exactly what they were suppose to, to clean out all old sand. When he asked "what resolution would satisfy us"? My response was, I wish I would've selected someone else to complete the work. Short of that I wanted PSI to replace the pavers. Dave's response was, "they don't make that color any more". I'd file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau however PLS isn't accredited with the BBB. I also couldn't find PLS on the OR Landscape Contractor Board. We definitely won't be utilizing PLS in the future.
