Half of Beaverton's homes were built by 1987, Census estimates show. More of the homes standing today went up in the 1970s than in any other decade. A yard that age often has hedges over the windows and more moss than grass by March. Planting beds have filled in, and any sprinklers are often the old system the builder put in.

Portland State University's 2025 estimate put Beaverton over 100,000 people for the first time. In the 97008 ZIP, more than half the homes were built between 1970 and 1989. Yards that age tend to have tall hedges and lawns that thin out under big trees.
Yards like that do best on a steady schedule. Our 12-month program covers mowing, edging, debris pickup, four seasonal lawn fertilizer applications and weeding of the beds. Trimming covers shrubs and small trees below six feet, and taller work is quoted separately. The monthly rate stays flat all 12 months, with no signed contract.
Beaverton makes homeowners responsible for the care of street trees in the right-of-way beside their lots. On a corner lot, the city wants plantings near the street kept below 3 feet so drivers can see. Fall leaves are the other chore, and the city asks residents to keep them out of streets and catch basins. Fall leaf cleanup is part of our program year.
The city's own history says Beaverton sits on a natural wetland. The Tualatin Kalapuya community near Fanno Creek was known as Chakeipi, Place of the Beaver. The city notes that creeks run fast off Sexton Mountain and Cooper Mountain, then spread out on the valley floor. Every storm drain in town empties toward the Tualatin River.
The most common soil mapped under the city is Aloha silt loam. It formed in silt left by the Ice Age Missoula Floods. The USDA soil survey rates it somewhat poorly drained. In a normal year, water perches about 1 to 2 feet below the surface.
On a flat lot, that water can sit in the lawn through the wet season. A French drain or a regrade gives it a path away from the house. Clean Water Services (CWS), Washington County's sewer and stormwater agency, does not maintain private drainage systems. Beaverton's storm drains take only clean water, like rainwater, groundwater, surface drainage and roof drainage.
Much of Beaverton's sloped ground is mapped as Cornelius and Kinton silt loams. Both sit over a fragipan, a dense layer that water moves through slowly. Water held in a slope pushes on anything that holds back the soil.
A segmental block retaining wall gets drain rock and a perforated pipe behind the block for that reason. Segmental block is the interlocking concrete block these walls are built from. On a steep lot, two shorter terraced walls can take the place of one tall one.
Under City Code 9.05.020, moving 50 cubic yards or 500 square feet of soil takes a grading permit. CWS says relandscaping and retaining walls go through its review, which comes before any city permit. The permit question is settled before work starts.
Beaverton adopted its South Cooper Mountain plan in 2014, and new development is underway there. Just outside city limits, the Cooper Mountain plan adopted in December 2024 expects about 5,000 homes on 1,200 acres. If a new house needs its first planting beds or lawn, we plan a new landscape with you.
The City of Beaverton supplies water to about 90 percent of residents. The rest get it from Tualatin Valley Water District, Raleigh Water District or West Slope Water District. The city lists irrigation systems among the most common home cross connections. Each one must be protected by backflow prevention the water supplier approves.
Backflow assemblies are tested at installation and at least once a year by an Oregon Health Authority certified backflow tester. A new sprinkler system from us includes the backflow assembly that state rules require. For lawn watering from April to September, the city points to the Regional Water Providers Consortium's Weekly Watering Number. NOAA's Beaverton station puts the median first fall freeze near November 6, so sprinklers get winterized before then.

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.
Excellent service by thorough, competent people for the past several years.
Our yard was a mess and Green Tree made it beautiful for us. They cleaned up the back yard and laid sod. That was an amazing transformation and the grass is still gorgeous. In the front yard they dismantled an aging pathway I put in years ago and replaced it with large stone and some kind of filler in any gaps so weeds don't grow. it's perfectly angled for water run off. It looks beautiful and every time see it I'm thrilled with the quality of work.
Our experience with Green Tree has been very satisfactory they are predictable consistent and we believe we get a real value for our investments we've done business with them for many years and they have consistently met our needs
