I don't have enough time to fully detail my experience with Newport Landscaping, but I can…read moreconfidently say I would never give this company another penny. I hired them for roughly $100,000 worth of residential landscaping work (no hardscaping, just grass, mulch and planting), and the results were extremely disappointing -- both in workmanship and customer service. The experience deteriorated to the point where I had to threaten legal action and report them to the Oregon CCB for breach of contract before anyone took my concerns seriously. A few highlights from the experience: * The project manager showed up to my property multiple times smelling strongly of alcohol -- on the rare occasions he actually came to the job site. * The professionally designed landscaping plan we paid for and provided to Newport was not followed. Major deviations were made without approval, which created unnecessary issues throughout the project. * Their estimate severely underbid the amount of mulch required for the property -- by more than 40 yards. This caused delays, frustration, and obvious concerns about the competence of the planning process. * Coordination between Newport Landscaping and Thompson Pump & Irrigation was terrible. I essentially had to act as the general contractor myself just to get the irrigation pond functioning properly, and it took months to resolve. * Jana, who I believe is an administrative manager, initially came to the property, listened to concerns, and assured me they would make things right. Unfortunately, nothing meaningful happened until I began threatening legal action and filing complaints with the CCB. There's far more I could say, but the bottom line is this: this company appears far too large and disorganized for the level of professionalism they advertise. Even some of their own employees openly complained about the company and management while on-site, which frankly is embarrassing. Read the 1-star reviews carefully. You may get lucky and have a good experience, but you may also end up deeply regretting your decision like I did.

We had an uninspiring side yard with a lot of potential but no clear plan. After meeting with…read moreseveral firms, we hired Alex and Dan, and it was the best decision we made. They listened to our ideas, understood our vision, and offered creative solutions that really elevated the space. They handled every bit of the work themselves, and the attention to detail showed in everything they did. The result is something functional and beautiful that we actually use and love. On top of the great work, they were easy to communicate with, stayed on track, and genuinely cared about getting it right. The pricing was fair and transparent throughout. Our yard went from a space we avoided to one of our favorite spots. We are so glad we put our trust in Alex and Dan and would recommend them without hesitation.

After reading that they prune inside out, and not just hedge trim, I wanted to see if I could work with them. They did a HUGE spring clean up on about 1/2 my yard (the front 1/2), removing tons of weeds, pruning, removing mistletoe form tree, just overall, doing some long overdue love for this darling yard. I had done my best- but I just could not keep up. They even brought in rock and ensured irrigation was covered. While it was a little more than I had planned- it was ABSOLUTELY worth it. No other spring clean up service would have done 1/2 what they did! Worth every penny. I work 2 remote roles- and I joked with them that I would happily figure out a third job to be able to continue using these services in the future. We only did 1/2 to stay in my available budget- and will do the other 1/2 major clean up in the fall. Demian will work with you to get your priorities in your budget. Be a little patient if you have a smaller project- they WILL get to you and get back to you- but it is a small business and they fit you in in between larger projects. And in all honesty, they were my first choice, but I was also contacting 6-8 other similar services. Most never called back, or if they did it was weeks and weeks out before they could even come take a look. Demian and the the guys called me back, said they would be over to take a look and start the job a few days later, and ta da- my yard looks brand new again! Now I can keep up with the weeds until they come in the fall- and I get TONS of complements- my neighbors have all commented how good it looks! I cannot say thank you enough, or emphasize the value of what you get with these guys- they really know their stuff, and they will do things RIGHT, so your landscape not only looks good- it is also actually healthy! WORTH EVERY PENNY.

When I saw Greg S's review for The Giggling Gardener, I said "Absolutely". Right out loud. Because…read moreJenny and the Giggling Gardener team have been helping my husband keep our garden in tip top shape for the last couple of years. Through that help they've made our lives easier and added to our enjoyment of the native and non native, water wise, wild life supporting shrubs, sub shrubs and perennials in our yard. In fact, as I write this review, I am enjoying watching Western Tanagers, Robins and Hummingbirds all flitting about and feasting on berries or flower nectar. That is in part thanks to the organic garden Jenny and her team help us maintain. We are particularly grateful for the help they provide for a few hours a couple of times a month and the many hours they provide during fall and spring clean up cycles because I am no longer able to do that work myself because I have multiple sclerosis. Having been an avid gardener, and still a lover of all things garden, I now have to limit my garden recreation to pots. So my poor hubby was doing all of the garden maintenance and it started to move from being fun to being chore. Yet the "mow, blow and go" garden maintenance services just didn't know how to maintain natural, organic gardens in the way we wanted. Enter Jenny and the Giggling Gardener team and it has been just right! The time my husband spends in the garden is once again time he loves to be there, to refresh body and spirit, and our garden looks as lovely with Jenny's team's help, better than it did when I was my hubby's garden partner. Highly recommend these good people!

Best landscape service that I have encountered in Bend!…read moreScope: remove existing (aged grass / poor soil) in a large yard and install new soil, sod, aspen root barrier, and improve irrigation grid. Quality: the final result transformed my yard from being an eyesore and almost unplayable yard for children to enjoy to what is now a lush, green, beautiful space. Team: both the removal and install team led by Michael M in conjunction with the irrigation expert Codey have been nothing but excellent in their work product. Value: the cost given the work involved and scope was competitive and fair! Process: the pre-evaluation / walk through process in addition to the follow up and support have been superior to any other experience I've had in the landscape services business.

This independently owned (C&C stands for Chad and Cathy) small nursery sells gorgeous, healthy,…read morelocally grown perennials, sub shrubs and trees suited for Central Oregon's high desert climate. For those visiting Central Oregon and driving westward across the Cascades to get home, you'll find things here that should thrive in your climate zones too. A seasonal nursery stand, it is located next to the Richard's Produce in a lot on the cusp of Sister's downtown. (Marker: Look for the Space Age Fuel gas station on the main drag of W. Cascade Avenue just as you enter Sisters coming from the West or just before you exit Sisters coming from the East and you'll find C&C in the lot behind that gas station.) Plants can be purchased outside of seasonal nursery stand time frames from Chad and Cathy. They also provide landscape maintenance services. Many of the plants sold at the nursery stand, like beautiful catmint, are deer resistant. But as Cathy points out, the only thing deer are sure not to eat are rocks. Some of the plants that we oohed and ahhed over like incredible white hydrangeas grown as standards, we couldn't plant in our yard due to the fact they are candy for the deer that visit our garden regularly. But sure was fun to admire them. If you live where you do not have deer, we'd say go buy these NOW! :-) A picture is worth a thousand words, goes the old saw, so I took several. We learned that C&C provides pot planting services. That seems a big deal here in Central Oregon, in particular in the part of Bend in which we live, to have others plant perennial garden pots for you. We enjoy doing our own, but if you like to have the pros do it for you, we'd definitely check in with Chad and Cathy as the pots they had on display there were wonderfully composed. In fact, so well done we're thinking about turning over a couple of pots to them next year! A couple of tips before you go: 1) Prices seem very reasonable. 2)Cash or check only, no credit cards. 3) Level lot but gravel and wood chips may make it tough to navigate for shoppers who use wheelchairs.
