Wow! Astounding service, level of knowledge, professionalism, and abilities from Jesus and crew…read more These guys literally moved a mountain for us (grading the yard, putting the hill along the back behind a block retaining wall, and giving us a terraced growing area) and went above and beyond to make sure we were left with a really nice yard. The price was very reasonable for the originally planned work, but in the end it turned out to be a great value for everything they did to get it perfect for us. Jesus is extremely nice and approachable, and he was excellent with communication and check-ins. As soon as they finished the backyard landscaping job today, I signed another contract for them to do our fencing, and we're planning on having them back to improve our sprinkler system next Spring.

We had Gardenias Landscaping do a yard clean up to remove weeds, edge, trim back shrubs, and mulch…read moreoriginally, and had them come back to install a walkway. Their work is immaculate. They even pulled weeds from plants and pots around the yard. Way above and beyond what I expected. The one draw back is how long it takes them to cash checks. Wrote them a check for the clean up June 8th, didn't clear until July 11th. They still are holding on to my check from June 28th, it's July 20th now. I'm not going to knock them a full star for not cashing checks right away but it's frustrating. Attached photos are the before and after of the walkway install.

What do I like about this business? Everything! This is a phenomenal company, from top to bottom…read more Five stars just isn't enough credit for what they do. They are truly service-oriented from the moment you reach out to them, and it starts with Dan. He's friendly, responsive and provides detailed estimates immediately for whatever work is needed. We have a 5-zone sprinkler system with a combination of drip lines and sprinklers in the front and backyard. It's a funky arrangement that needed a serious upgrade. His crew (Marvin and Jose) are miracle workers! They are real problem solvers who managed to reroute some existing sprinkler lines, fix several hidden leaks and provide more water coverage in several zones. Marvin and Jose are a joy to watch. They really enjoy their work and it shows. Marvin will even sing while he's putting in new drip lines or tying off others, and nothing seems to faze him. Both men are polite, courteous and appreciative of drinks and snacks while they work. They say "Thank you, so much" every time. After spending the entire day at our home, we tested the system and everything worked well, but there were a few dry spots I noticed the next day. Dan came by today to collect payment and I showed him the areas where water wasn't quite reaching and he said, "No problem." Marvin and Jose will come back to make a few adjustments -- at no extra charge. Best of all, the new parts they install are guaranteed for 5 years instead of one. Who does that? All in all, this was a terrific experience and I wish I had hired this company 13 years ago when we landscaped our yard. I'm so impressed with them and you will be, too.

We joined the Gladstone Community Gardening Association in 2025 and our experience has been…read morepositive. The gardens are all organic. The new leadership on the Board of Directors over the past three years has revitalized the gardens and is planning to make them even better with a pathway project to level all the paths and make them ADA compliant. Large 250 gallon water butts have been installed in case of plumbing issues so water is always available although every plot has access to water spigots; shade awnings have been installed throughout the gardens with tables and chairs to sit and eat lunch or take a break from the heat and the sun. Raised beds are now allowed. Everyone is friendly and helpful. There are people from Thailand, Korea, Mexico, Columbia, Italy, the Philippines, Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Germany, and Iraq. The annual rental is $50 with a volunteer requirement of 4 hours for a whole lot (25 ft x 45 ft) and 2 hours for a half lot per season. Those hours may be met in a range of different ways although most folks volunteer for the twice monthly work parties to keep the paths mown, and the parking and fencing areas trimmed. The variety of plants grown and the creativity shown across the allotments is amazing! We grow Asparagus, Raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, currants, snap peas, green beans, beets, turnips, potatoes, lettuces, radishes, cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, and nearly a dozen herbs and medicinal plants such as rosemary, tarragon, lavender, comfrey, chamomile, red clover, and nasturtiums. This community is built from people of all different ages: 4-90! There are individuals and couples who have been gardening here for 20 years, some just beginning their gardening, couples with young children, seniors with their grandchildren and LGBTQ+ folks. Everyone is welcome here and supportive. I've found my community!

After deliberating for a few years about getting a spot in the community garden, my sister and I…read morefinally pulled the trigger. And we are so glad we did. The lots are large. There is water at every corner of the lot. And the annual fee is very reasonable. In addition, they have all the mechanical tools you need to prepare and maintain your lot for a small rental charge. You do need to schedule the rental though. And you need to help out at one or more monthly work parties to fulfill an annual work hour requirement but it's no more work than what you would do in your own lot. Like with many a great thing, there is a wait list. But it's worth it, believe me. Not only do you have a great sense of community here, but you can see what others are doing with their spots to get your creativity working. And everyone we've met has been so nice. It's been a wonderful experience. Be warned though, on the weekends you may encounter Remote Control airplanes and helicopters overhead as well as the neighboring athletic fields being used for anything from softball to soccer to frisbee leagues. Work in your garden, bring a chair, an umbrella and a cooler and spend the afternoon talking with your plants. It's guaranteed to de stress your life...oh and having organically grown produce is an added bonus.

They are directly across the street from one another. When you drive into the area there are signs for parking that are close the reception hall.

Lovely! Delightful!…read more Charming Rooms! Welcoming Hosts! Gorgeous Grounds! I could go on and on about this sweet B&B that is in Milwaukie (just Southeast of Portland). Totally has spoiled us for future B&Bs. Terry and Al are amazing! My mom and I were lucky enough to have the whole place to ourselves for 2 whole days! So, we had Terry and Al's undivided attention. We visited with them in the mornings which made the experience so much more personal and inviting. They have a sign on the door that says something like... Enter as Guest, Leave as Friends. So True! Now... this B&B isn't hard to find but you could easily drive right by it in the dark because the house itself sits up on a little hill with several acres of around it. It's nestled into what would seem its own little piece of heaven surrounded by big trees, lush lawns and beautiful landscape complete with a little bridge. (I think I have pictures... I'll dig them up and post them too.) The house has several entrances (exits), but go ahead and enter at any one of them. The main one is at the front of the house which you can drive to... just follow the little road to the right as you go up the hill. (We didn't.... I saw the parking lot up on the left and just parked.) But you can drive to the front, unload and then drive around to the parking area. Anyways... Terry greeted us and showed us around the house. The house is HUGE! So many rooms and they've done a great job decorating it! Antiques mixed in with comfy sofas and chairs. It's a 3 story house... the main floor has the kitchen, porch, parlor and dining room (as well as Terry and Al's living quarters).... the upper floor has the bedrooms... I think I counted 4.... the bottom floor has the Theater... Yes... a Theater with a gi-normous screen and lots of movies to pick from. They even have a popcorn maker down there. But if you want to do it the quick and easy way... they also have microwave popcorn. The Theater has lounger chairs and throw blankets to get all comfy in as you watch your movies. (Mom and I were bummed that we were so busy and so tired each night that we didn't get to have a movie night. Next time...) The guest room floor had a mini bar area that had a coffee maker and tea available all day long. As well as a mini fridge stocked with water and sodas. So nice to have this! Plus they had wine glasses and a wine opener in case you brought your own and wanted to enjoy a glass out on the porch. Oh... the Porch! This is where Mom and I would enjoy our morning cup of Joe. It was so peaceful and relaxing to slowly wake up, sit on the porch and listen to the birds while sipping coffee and reading our books. So Relaxing! (Note... the house sits up off the street so there isn't any street noise and it's surrounded by a wooded area so it feels like you're "getting back to nature".) And then there was Breakfast... Terry really outdoes herself. You have a starter like fruit or parfait and then you have the main course... possibly mini german pancakes or an egg dish. All of it was D-LISH! And the presentation! She really knows how to plate a lovely breakfast. She took breakfast to another level in my book. (BTW... I love breakfast, so I was taking mental notes on how I should present and prepare my own special breakfasts at home.) The Bed.... the comfiest bed I've ever slept in. Even more comfortable than my own at home. The sheets were so soft! I wanted to stay in bed all day. But alas... there were sights to see, family to visit... But I did take a picture of the tag on the sheets so I can try to find the same brand and type at home. I can go on and on... but I won't. If you want to know something specific or more, message me. If... no, no... WHEN we are back in Milwaukie.. we will be staying here again. Love this place. :)
