Quick little updo to close out our season. This sw Quick little updo to close out our season. This sweet client of mine (for going on 12 years now!) has wanted to get rid of her back lawn forever and today was the day! Expanded a little patio with stones from the site, made some arching gravel paths and used those beautiful fall leaves for mulch! Leave your leaves people! If you can tolerate the messy look, many studies show that fallen leaves create the best mulch beds for garden soil by maintaining consistent soil temps, promoting microbial growth and it’s free free free!
Take care of each other out there. See you in 2023!! #prideandjoylandscapes #lifenotlawn #resilientlandscapes #bitcheswithhoes #leaveyourleaves

As we celebrate food and family, we also want to honor the native people who have stewarded this land we call home. Pride + Joy is donating funds to support native-run organizations continuing to restore justice and power to its rightful places.

Beautiful fall day to finish up planting for this Beautiful fall day to finish up planting for this multi-phase project in SE PDX. These folks are committed to restoring their beautiful home and transforming their yard into a native and edible sanctuary.  After + Midway (post fence build and battle w/ invasive weeds). Original design was slightly altered to mitigate  cost and leave extra funds for more plants! #designbuild #womancontractor #prideandjoylandscapes #bitcheswithhoes #lifenotlawn #pnwnatives #gardensanctuary

Without a lawn to care for and the right plants for this shady understory garden, this couple can just sit on their porch and listen to the sounds of flowing water and bird song.

Whole property revamp here. #naturescaping at its Whole property revamp here. #naturescaping at its best. Many many natives will fill in to create a visually stunning and wild garden wrapping around the whole house. Wood chip paths and patio makes the space feel woodsy and introduces #fungi to the garden. We have one HAPPY client. We will post updates in a few years to show you how short a time it takes to transform a space from a weedy desert into a thriving sanctuary. #prideandjoylandscapes #nativeplants #naturescaping #designinstall #pnwgardendesign #bitcheswithhoes
One of my clients from several years ago is sellin One of my clients from several years ago is selling her house and just shared some of the garden pre-sale photos with me. These folks started with a weedy back slope and grassy front yard and we planned and transformed it into a dynamic PNW themed oasis. An arching stacked stone retaining wall frames a half moon deck. Natural stone risers lead to meandering paths and a little ADU cottage. Birdbaths and lots of sentimental plant combos had this space feeling like home in no time. Here’s hoping the next owners love it as much. #cully #prideandjoylandscapes #bitcheswithhoes #woodlandrealtypdx #naturescaping #designinstall #gardendesign #pnwgardening
Mid-way and Before of a phase based project in Nor Mid-way and Before of a phase based project in North Portland. This very sweet woman wanted an easy, clean, accessible way to be in her yard. Many years of this property being a rental had us digging up layers of trash and landscape fabric for days! This client has a deep commitment to renewable and recycled materials so we repurposed old concrete for garden bed borders, reused many many pavers that we uncovered from the yard to create a new lovely patio and outdoor living space. To come are some large trees, veggie beds (made from reused wood of course), and a mostly PNW native and low water plant palette. Looking forward to keeping tabs on this space as it developes. #prideandjoylandscapes #bitcheswithhoes #reducereuserecycle #urbanite #bigtreestoday #sustainablelandscaping

This gentleman allowed me to conceptually vision some ideas during our consultation and then implement without a set plan! My favorite :). He was looking for low maintenance PNW forest feel with the ability to casually sit out front to interact with neighbors in the garden. I really like this one. Thanks so much Adam for trusting my vision from the beginning #prideandjoylandscapes #gardendesign #pnwgarden #decomposedgranite #steel #bitcheswithhoes #designinstall
Spring 2022 installation starting to fill in nicel Spring 2022 installation starting to fill in nicely. This couple wanted a unique outdoor space with little nooks for reading under their maple and open space for family gathering. Low maintenance, no grass, Japanese elements and low water overall. This was a great project to kick off the season and I’m thrilled to see it being lived in and loved. #prideandjoylandscapes #pnwlandscapedesign #gardendesign #designinstall #nomorelawn #lifenotlawn

A massive  #variegatedflagstone patio allows this family to have multiple hangout areas for summer fun. A cute little Bike shed with good access to the side gate. And #steppable ground covers will grow in under the tree swing. After being a rental property for many years, this property was a mess of invasive plants and blackberries when we started. The plant palette is a lovely mix of #nativeplants #edibleplants and low maintenance ornamentals. Excellent results!
