Green Tree Landscape and Maintenance installs artificial turf for backyards, side yards, play areas and dog runs. We are a landscaping company serving Tualatin and the south and west side of the Portland metro. Turf fits where grass keeps losing, like deep shade under firs or a path the dog wore bare.
Most of the work in a turf lawn happens below the turf. We dig out the old lawn and build a compacted rock base that lets rain drain through. In our job photos, the turf sits beside paver patios and block retaining walls, and we build both. Call or text (971) 772-9892 and we will look at the yard.
Tell us about the yard, the project or the maintenance you need and where it is. We look at the yard and put the quote in writing.
Artificial turf in the Portland area has to handle a lot of rain. At Portland's airport, October to May brings nearly 9 of every 10 inches of the year's rain. Water runs through holes punched in the turf backing, then down through the crushed rock base. The rock carries the water until it soaks into the soil or reaches a drain.
The ground under the rock decides the rest. In the Tualatin Valley, many soils sit over slow-draining subsoil, and some hold winter water a foot or two down. We grade the base so water moves away from the house. Where the ground stays wet, we add a drain line.
Some yards need more than a good base. When a backyard stays soggy from November to April, a French drain may need to go in first. We look at where the water comes from before the turf goes down.
OSU Extension notes that most grasses struggle in the deep shade of buildings or under groups of trees. Shade and poor drainage also promote moss, which starts growing here with the fall rains. That is how a lawn under firs and maples ends up more moss than grass by March. Turf needs no sun, so it stays green under the trees.
Dog runs are another good fit. Dogs wear paths into a lawn, and bare paths turn to mud in the wet season. With turf, urine drains down through the backing into the rock base, like rain does.
Turf also suits a play area in a side yard or a back corner of the lot. Kids get a green surface to play on instead of bare dirt.
It starts with a look at the yard and a written quote. Oregon law requires notice through Oregon 811 at least two business days before digging. Then the old lawn and roots come out, and fabric goes down where the soil calls for it.
Crushed rock comes next, packed firm with a plate compactor and graded to drain. The turf arrives in rolls. Seams are glued on seaming tape laid under the backing, and the edges are fastened down.
Last, infill such as sand is brushed into the fibers. It helps the blades stand up and holds the turf in place. The site gets cleaned up, and we take a final look at the turf with you.

We come out to see the yard and where the water runs. For the maintenance program, we look over the lawn and the beds.
You get the quote in writing, with the work spelled out. Once you say yes, we set a start date, and work days follow the weather.
Then the work starts, whether that is an install, a build or your first maintenance visit. On a new landscape, the soil is prepped and graded before anything goes in the ground.
We take a final look at the work with you, and the site is cleaned up. Then we go over what comes next, like watering new sod or the date of the next visit.

Low-voltage LED landscape lighting for walkways, steps, trees and walls across the south and west metro. We add lights to a finished yard or build them into a new patio or wall.
Learn MoreNew plantings, lawns, paver patios, retaining walls and drainage all come from one company. We can keep up the yard we build on our maintenance program.
Our landscape maintenance program runs all year at a flat monthly rate. The rate stays level through the quiet winter months and the busy leaf season.
The base under a paver patio is compacted in layers before the first paver goes down. Retaining walls get drainage gravel and pipe behind them. We install the backflow assembly the code requires on every new sprinkler system.

Carlos and team did a great job on our new paver patio and pathway. Communication was excellent and responses were quick. He shared examples of options and asked questions along the way to make sure we were getting what we wanted. We'll use them again for future projects without hesitation.
We had a great experience working with Carlos and his team. Carlos was professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire project. His pricing was very reasonable, and I really appreciated his attention to detail. He took the time to make sure the grading and sod installation were done correctly rather than rushing through the job. It’s clear Carlos takes pride in his work and cares about doing things well. We would absolutely hire him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for landscaping or yard work.
He was very good. Review our system and did an upgrade. Checked all sprayer heads and adjusted as needed. He was very professional and efficient. Great job. Would recommend he to anyone who has a sprinkler issue.
