Pond construction has been a forte of Woody’s Custom Landscaping for many years. We won our first grand award for one of our ponds through the Washington Association of Professionals in 1996.

Each pond we construct is designed to be a unique and independent water feature. We pay careful consideration to balance and scale on each and every waterfeature project we build.
No two should look alike. Yes they may have some simular features, but we do not install what I call “clone” water features or ponds. We feel each and every client has different ideas of what their feature may look like.
Distinction award 2008
Bubblers are really the only types of water features that may look simular to one another. Most of our clients don’t want the water to show. This means you have to fill up with cobbles. Drilled columns do tend to look alike. Having a unique bubbler is difficult but not impossible.
All our ponds and water features are warranted to be functional, in scale and of course non leaking.

If you go outside and feel like you are going to fall over the embankment. Or if outside in the back yard wishing you could make your yard a little bigger, but that hill is 10′ away from your patio door. Then you probably should consider a retaining wall. A retaining wall can help you get that desired flat spot for entertaining.
Over the years I have seen more and more lots in Portland and Vancouver, that are on hill sides and some of them very steep. Many of these homes need retaining walls. How else is that flat spot for the kids, dog, or most importantly you, going to happen.

A few points to consider:
1. Never go over 4′ unless you get a approved engineered plan.
2. Always install drainage behind your retaining wall.
3. Your walls strength is based on the foundation it is installed upon.
4. Make sure if you are using a landscape contractor they are certified NCMA.
5. Get references from your contractor.

Woody’s Custom Landscaping, Inc. offers fully guaranteed, certified NCMA, installation of our retaining walls. We build CMU, SRW, boulder, brick, cultured stone and rock walls in Portland Oregon and Vancouver Washington with dedication to quality and longevity. 360-687-1882
Landscape construction is what we do.
I have been asked by Clark County PUD to be a speaker Friday, April 23, 2010. It is for the Clark County Home and Idea Fair. I will speak at the speakers corner in the new exhibition hall. The seminar will be at 4:00 PM. It should last about 1 hour.
The title of my seminar is, “Growing Your Landscape Dreams Into Reality”.
I plan to cover why should our potential clients choose landscape designers and landscape contractors instead of being a DIYer. Nothing is wrong with home owners doing projects themselves, but I usually encounter a lack of planning, cheap materials and a very average job. I also plan to speak on how should homeowners choose a landscape designer or landscape contractor and think budget.
I will show some great examples of before and after shots of landscaping that were designed by landscape designers. Can the typical homeowner come up with visions like what I’ll show?
Most of the time, no.
The example below shows a woodsy setting. Could a typical home owner come up with what got installed. Yes, if they had a great designer and a qualified landscaper.
Come to the Clark County Home and Idea Fair, April 23rd at 4:00 PM in the new hall. I promise to be full of answers to your landscaping questions and have a fun fact filled one hour seminar.
I will explain how you can grow the before picture into your landscape dream.
