Perennials and ground covers have been sought after in landscaping for ever. I thought I would show a few full tilt examples of using perennials and ground covers in the landscape. The landscapes in the photos are all award winners from the Washington Association of Landscape Professionals for residential construction and won by Woody’s Custom Landscaping, Inc.
The landscaping photo below gives a good example of Black Eyed Susans in full bloom with some Asters and Autumn Joy Sedums. That job is in Ridgefield. It was designed by Quatrefoil.
The next photo shows what solid ground cover can look like. It is Purple Aguja. It does attract slugs, but with its beautiful foliage and blue spikes for flowers, it is quite spectacular. That home is in Vancouver and designed by Planning Solutions.
The next photo gives a good example of Irish Moss ground cover surrounding a Camas stone pathway. It does require a haircut around the edges, as the moss will cover the stones entirely in 2 years. This home is also in Vancouver.
For certified award winning landscapers who really care about what they construct, give Woody’s a call.

A peaceful get away place is pretty much a must on large properties. This gazebo was a distance away from the main home, but is a great place to get away. Closer to the home we installed 2 water features, using octagon shapes to match the gazebo and the rest of our clients gardens. You may be asking. Was the whole yard based on octagon or eight sided angles? Yes it was. Our client designed the yard herself. I was not sure at first how it was going to look, but she really did a good job. In fact we won another award from WALP for her landscape. In the photo below note also the header board for the yard is based on octagon shapes. The job was installed in 2000.
Below is a photo of her water features.
We also installed a a large paver patio based on the octagon angles. Please note the large black kettle area. Guess what angles were intalled.

Any kind of water feature has been a hot item, for a lot of years in the Pacific Northwest.
Woody’s Custom Landscaping, Inc. has been installing quality water features in the greater Vancouver/Portland area for 20 of those years. All our water features are have at least a 1 year warranty and we stand behind our work. Every feature you see in the photos is different. No two should be alike. Each should present the wishes and characteristics of the client. All have filter systems. All have flow controls. All are unique and soothing. I’ve tried to show examples of different kinds of ponds, water features, water falls, etc.
Below is a reflection pond with a tranquil setting
This next photo is what 33,000 gallons per hour look like going over water fallls
The next photo is another tranquil setting
Our next photo shows a mature stream and water fall setting. Plants are so important to give that natural feel to your feature.

Came across some pretty good before and after photos, of a job we installed in Camas Washington.
When we started it was weeds and I mean WEEDS. By the time we got done, we had installed a Pisa II retaining wall, automatic irrigation, planting, low voltage lights, stepping stones and the list goes on. Enjoy the photos. It really did change a lot. Yes, your yard can change that much also. Let Woody’s Custom Landscaping, Inc. go to work for you with our award winning, certified, and service oriented employees. You won’t be unhappy.
For a quality driven residential landscape contractor, look no further.

This photo is when the job got painted out, but nothing had been done yet. As you will see we installed a paver drive way for them. We also installed the step and landscaping around their home.The difference is quite dramatic. Let our team of certified employees serve you with pleasure.
