Sideyard Transformation: NE Portland Remodel

Sideyard Transformation: NE Portland Remodel

March 1, 2025 Blog

Before and After

We love taking underutilized spaces and turning them into functional, beautiful landscapes. Our latest project in NE Portland is a perfect example of how thoughtful design can make a big impact, even in smaller areas.

The Challenge: A Sideyard

Our goal was to create a durable, sustainable solution that enhanced both aesthetics and usability.

The Solution: Blending Function and Beauty

We designed and built a sideyard that seamlessly integrates natural elements with practical features:

  • Stormwater Management: Thoughtful grading and permeable materials help direct and absorb rainwater, preventing pooling and erosion.
  • Flagstone & Paver Mix: A combination of natural flagstone and pavers provides both visual appeal and durability, ensuring a stable, low-maintenance surface.
  • Native Plantings: Carefully selected plants enhance the space while thriving in the Pacific Northwest climate.

The Result: A Seamless Outdoor Extension

The finished space is now a welcoming, functional extension of the home. Whether it’s a peaceful walkway, a place to enjoy the garden, or simply a more visually appealing space, this sideyard has been completely transformed.

The client came to us with a front and backyard in need of a transformation—both lacked irrigation, were overrun with weeds and grass all over, and had minimal plant life. See the before and after pics.

Testimonials

  • Dan’l and his crew were a real pleasure to work with – professional, totally honest, and so good at what they do. The design Dan’l came up with was so beautiful and creative and the work they did was beyond reproach. The transformation to our backyard was incredible; it is now our favorite part of our house!

  • Dan’l was an excellent communicator throughout the design, build, and maintenance phases. He was very knowledgeable about local plants and materials. His crew have always been a pleasure to have around. We are looking forward to our first spring and summer in Portland, so we can enjoy our new backyard!

  • Northwest Native Landscapes really took the time to understand the challenges of my outdoor space. They really elevated my early ideas into a stunning master plan, then seamlessly moved into the construction phase. The finished product is a garden uniquely ours. We feel like we’ve added a whole new dimension to our home!
