Why worry if the landscaper you choose is Landscape Industry Certified? It is very important to you the Home owner. What the certification means is that those who choose to go through the testing and pass the tests, are indeed qualified to install at least portions of your landscape project. At Woody’s Custom Landscaping, Inc. we have two who are Landscape Industry Certified. They have passed all segments including softscape, hardscape and irrigation. The certification from PLANET is a national certification process. Would you want just any one to construct your landscaping. Certification is one way to help you feel more confident during bidding and construction.
As a side note, 75% of all my employees are ICPI certified which is a national certification process for paver installation. You can feel confident that our employees know and install you paver projects the correct way. I also have about 75% of all my employees certified with NCMA which is another national certification for retaining wall construction.
We install your landscaping whether it’s hardscaping or softscaping with professionalism that is hard to match.

Putting up the display booth with Christine and Carolyn of Gregg & Ellis Landscape Design this year was a blast. We got lunch almost every day and the differrent kind of work we did was indeed fun. We put together a 3′ high planter box installed with 2 types of tiles and large squares of polished black granite. The planter boxes were planted with 4 large clumping Jackmontii Birch, bulbs and varigated foliage and lots of white Tulips and white Hyacinths. The birch were up lighted with 4 large low voltage up lights.The water feature was basically a rectangle with polished black granite with a tile cap. The inside of the feature has a swirling effect with cut flagstone and white sand as the bottom. We do have a very large art piece, two stone benches and a stone table. The show runs 4-24 to 4-28 Weds. through Sunday at the Expo in Portland Oregon.
Come and say hi to Christine and Carolyn of Gregg & Ellis Landscape Design.

Paver pathways serve a clean way to get from a starting point to a destination. In this case I think you will agree, that the end destination was well worth the stroll.
All pathways should go somewhere or at least go by points of interest. The best way to get peoples attention is to have curves in the pathway. This allows you to show hints of what might be interesting as you are walking.
Pathways don’t need to be made of pavers. They can be stepping stones, brick, gravel or just plain bark or soil. Since I live on five acres in the woods, I have many pathways. Some are paver pathways, some flagstone stepping stones, some are soil and some are cedar chip paths, I even have a area of concrete 3by4 pieces I used for the main entrance into the woods. Most of the pathways at my home take you somewhere. All of my paths seem to also run in a circular pattern, taking you back eventually to your starting point.
A pathway is fun and lends interest to your landscaping.
Let our landscape industry certified employees take you on a pathway to a enjoyable, fun and sustainable landscape.
Serving Vancouver and the Portland area with award winning and certified employees.
