Transplanting the business from Salem this year (2025)
We started this business 7 years ago claiming our Independence from an unfortunate greedy business on Independence Day in a little town of Independence Oregon. This made it obvious what we needed to name our business.
We are excited to serve the Portland area! We still have openings to complete your dream landscapes or projects you may have thought may not have been a reality!
Give us a call today and make your property a place you love to come home to everyday!!

Nic & Independent Landscapes
History
Established in 2017.
In 2017 I was an operations manager for a landscape company that was based out of Salem Oregon. We ran 2 maintenance crews and I ran the construction side of the company. I became increasingly displeased with the owner and client relations, they were deteriorating and my clients were regularly unimpressed, unsatisfied, and sometimes angry even. After several clients praising me, and telling me that I should have my own company, as there was only so much I could do to keep them happy.
My biggest client that I started working with in May 2017 was giving me a rundown of what was happening between them and how much she was being mistreated. I finally agreed to take over her contract. The clients landscape was in Independence, Oregon. The weekend that followed was 4th of July and also the day I resigned and took my own independence and So we became Independence landscapes!
Meet the Business Owner: Nicholas S.
I was born locally in Oregon. I have a background that comes from landscaping for the last ten years, construction prior to that, and originated from mechanical maintenance and retail fuel services tech and installation.
My favorite part of this field is the relations that I get to build with the people that do engage with my partner Dan and I in their projects. It is often a little nerve racking for them in the process, but ultimately we get to build trust with them through the processes of completion of their projects. We both strive very hard to keep the costs low, but provide quality, and satisfaction to our clients. No project is ever going to be beautiful from the start to the finish. These are the times we get to provide nothing more than words of reassurance. When everything starts coming together and becoming something amazing is when we get to not only feel tension lifting but really get to feel their relief and joy!
In the end we always know our client has all faith in us
