A landscape design project with HD Landscape and Maintenance moves through a site consultation, a concept plan, plant and material selection, and — if you choose design-and-build — installation by the same Beaverton-based crew, covering everything from a front-yard refresh to a full backyard landscape design for Portland-metro homes and commercial properties.

The two terms are used interchangeably, although they refer to different categories of work.
The planning process is called landscape design. This entails site assessment, preparation of a scaled concept plan of planting and hardscape, plant selection according to the requirements of the land plot, and detailing of the materials.
Landscaping, on the other hand, includes installation and everything beyond it: mowing, pruning, seasonal maintenance, etc. The range of our landscaping services is outlined in the corresponding description on the website.
In practice, most customers need both. A design without installation is a plan only, while installation without a design plan may require later adjustments because of such issues as drainage, sightlines, and plant placement.
Both processes are performed by HD Landscape and Maintenance, from the planning phase to installation and further lawn and yard maintenance. All this is carried out by one licensed crew with one point of contact.
Not all landscaping crews offer landscape design. Most only install the plant palette chosen from a big-box nursery. Landscape design is the creation of a plan prior to ordering materials and installing the landscaping.
HD Landscape and Maintenance offers landscape design Beaverton OR property owners have trusted since 2018, operating under Oregon LCB License #9977. The business offers services to three general client categories:
Individuals seeking a fresh look for their front yard, a renovation of the back yard, or a plan for the whole lot.
HOAs and multi-unit buildings that need common area designs to be board-approved and attractive when viewed from the street.
Commercial properties including office frontages, retail parking island plantings, and business entrances that require a more durable design and lower maintenance budget than a single-family yard.
The process used for all three is identical: a site visit, concept design, plant and material selection, and installation by the same crew that designed the project. No subcontractor interprets some other designer’s plan.
HD Landscape and Maintenance covers landscape design Beaverton OR properties across Cedar Hills, Five Oaks, South Beaverton, and Murrayhill, plus nearby Hillsboro and Tigard.
What makes Beaverton distinct isn’t dramatic terrain — it’s consistency. Lots are similar, HOA guidelines are common, and a design that stands out still has to fit the neighborhood, not fight it.
Front yard landscaping design that Oregon HOAs will approve starts with working within the rules, not around them. This means defined bed lines, suitable plant heights near sightlines and setbacks, and a plan that looks like an upgrade to the neighborhood rather than an outlier.
We build those guidelines into the concept plan from the first draft. This helps avoid rejection and costly redrawing at the committee stage.
Once we install the new landscape, we can also handle ongoing maintenance for Beaverton properties. This keeps the property looking neat and well-maintained throughout the year., see our Beaverton landscaping services page.
Western Oregon’s climate is the starting point for every plant choice: wet, mild winters and warm, dry summers, per OSU Extension Service guidance on drought-tolerant landscape plants for Western Oregon. Plants that need constant summer irrigation add cost and maintenance long after the design is installed — ones suited to that wet-winter, dry-summer swing don’t.
For sunny front yards and open beds, drought-tolerant natives and Mediterranean-climate plants both perform well once established. For our full approach to native and low-water planting, see sustainable landscaping.
Backyard landscape design ideas Pacific Northwest homeowners ask for most often center on privacy and use: screening shrubs along a shared fence line, a defined seating or fire-pit area, and planting beds that stay attractive without a weekly trim. Pairing that planting plan with hardscaping — a patio, a low retaining wall, a pathway — is usually what turns a backyard from usable to actually used.
Do you provide 3D or plan-view landscape design drawings?
Yes. Every design includes a scaled plan showing planting zones, hardscape areas, and the overall layout.
Can you design a low-maintenance Oregon landscape?
Yes. We use native and drought-tolerant plants, along with efficient irrigation, to reduce maintenance.
Do you install what you design?
Yes. HD Landscape and Maintenance provides design-and-build services with one team from planning through installation.
