We did a lot of everything on this residential design build landscaping project. It took about 5 months with most of my crews working there. It was a pleasure to install the hardscape and landscape at their home. The front yard consisted of a 200′ long cultured stone faced retaining wall, 10,000′ sod, irrigation, front entry pond, and extensive flagstone patio work, trees, shrubs, low voltage lighting, dry creeks and of course bark.
As you will see the front yard landscaping was very large. the entire project was in the acres and I will be showing you just the front yard at this time. The following landscaping photos show all that was described above.
The first landscaping photograph shows some of the scope of the front yard. OUr web site is woodyscustomlandscaping.com

It’s a pleasure to visit old clients and see how well their landscape projects are doing. I visited a client last week she said her pump was making a little too much noise for her. After a little foam rubber and shifting of the pump, all was well. I noticed her pond looked absolutely fantastic and thought a video of some of our work 6 years later would actually be a good blog. The waterfalls looked very nice and the pond with a seat wall around it really looked great with mature landscaping. She did have a little too many snails, but all in all the pond and surrounding area looked wonderfull.

Installing the best water features in the Vancouver / Portland area.

Not every one can have a front entry like these clients. They had plenty of room and decided go go all out. I’m showing only a portion of the cultured stone wall we installed but it was 150′ long.

After coming up the drive way we installed a flagstone steps to a flagstone patio entry. Your next view is of the water feature in which you can cross right over with very large iron mountain flagstone slabs.


We won a distinction award in 2008 from the Washington Association Of Landscape Professionals for residential construction for the entire landscaping. The front entry was just a small portion of the entire project. It included a 330,000 gallon fish and swimming pond as well as lots of plantings, sod, interlocking concrete pavers, and on and on. If you look at the top of this blog you will see most of the cultured stone wall we installed.

Every one at some point wants some sort of water feature in their yard. It could be a simple bubbler or a huge pond with waterfalls. Water features are wonderful to see, hear and allow us to become a little closer to the natural surrounding that water has to offer. Animal life will visit. Sometimes if you have fish a heron or raccoon may decide to have a snack or a complete free buffet. It is all part of having a natural setting of water in your landscape. Just the sound of water trickling or cascading through a series of waterfalls or from a piece of art allows us to take that moment and just relish in the peacefulness it has to offer. Every one has different desires when it comes to water features in their landscape. In the photos below, I tried to show some different types of water in the landscape that hopefully will open your eyes to the beauty and tranquility that simple H2O has to offer.

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.

Installing a pond is great fun for all of us at Woody’s Custom Landscaping. It really doesn’t matter how good the pond looks though, if the planting does not give the pond justice for it’s existence.
Most hardscaping, which a pond is considered hardscaping, can not come alive until the planting is done. I personally think that it takes a couple of years, to truly appreciate a pond even with great planting.

I would never consider a pond or water feature completed until it is planted. Planting seems to soften the rocks and even the water. I love the look of ground covers growing into the stream bed and even the pond. Sometimes we get clients that only want us to install the pond or water feature. I can’t tell them enough that the water feature may be the most expensive item to install, but the planting is the most important. I always say get a landscape designer to make a plan, sketch, or at least a list of plants, if you aren’t going to have us install the plantings. How else can you achieve that natural ambiance between nature and your landscaping. For all your landscaping needs in Vancouver WA and Portland OR, think Woody’s Custom Landscaping, Inc.

The homeowners wanted a serene environment for their home nestled in the Pacific Northwest. Woody’s installed about 3,000 square feet of cobble paver driveway, including a raised concrete curb to add definition. Gravel pathways encircle the house and meander through native plantings. In the center planting area, they built a 5-foot-deep koi pond and installed native plants to match the natural feel of the river in the backyard. Plantings include many plantings of shade perennials and shade shrubs.
Installation included a low voltage lighting system to make it even for enticing in the evening hours.
This home was featured in Total Landscape Care, a national magazine the month of October 2009.
