At many newer Wilsonville homes, the yard is still what the builder put in. That can mean a thin lawn and a few small shrubs in bare beds. About a quarter of the city's homes were built in 2010 or later, by Census Bureau estimates. In Tualatin, fewer than 1 in 10 were.

Wilsonville had about 1,000 residents in the early 1970s, when its Town Center was still mostly fields. The city now has more than 26,000. Nearly all of its homes sit in Clackamas County, and a small part of the city lies in Washington County. By Census Bureau estimates, half of those homes were built in 1998 or later.
Villebois, in the western part of the city, was planned for more than 2,300 homes. The city calls it a European-style urban village. The Frog Pond West plan followed in 2017. A 2022 plan for Frog Pond East and South maps new homes over the next 10 to 20 years.
In a newer yard, the work usually starts with the lawn and the beds. Thin sod from the builder can come up, and a new sod lawn goes down on prepared soil. New planting beds get shrubs and perennials under bark dust, the Northwest word for shredded bark mulch.
Aloha silt loam covers more than a quarter of Wilsonville on USDA soil maps. It is the most common soil in the city. It formed in silt left by the Missoula Floods, which swept the Tualatin and Willamette valleys about 15,000 years ago. The USDA rates it somewhat poorly drained.
In a normal year, water collects in the soil as close as 12 to 24 inches below the lawn. With water that high, rain has little room to soak in during the wet season. A French drain collects water below the surface and carries it to a safe outlet. Regrading helps too, so rainwater runs away from the house.
Wilsonville manages its own stormwater system, and it drains to the Willamette River. The city encourages handling rain on the lot where it falls, in rain gardens and swales. Where a yard borders a creek or wetland, part of it may fall in the city's Significant Resource Overlay Zone. That zone allows only minor development, so the question is settled before work starts.
Wilsonville first earned Tree City USA status in 1997 and still holds it. Cutting down a tree 6 inches or more across, measured 4 and a half feet up, takes a city permit. Inside the overlay zone, most tree cutting also needs a special impact report first.
Pruning needs no permit, but it has to meet the ANSI A300 standard, and topping is not allowed. Our maintenance program trims shrubs and small trees below six feet. Anything taller is quoted separately.
The city says a wood fence under 6 feet on your own property needs no permit. A fence taller than 6 feet needs a building permit. Setbacks can differ by subdivision, so the Planning Division confirms them for each address. A cedar privacy fence goes in once the height and setback questions are settled.
Wilsonville's water comes from a city treatment plant on the Willamette River that opened in 2002. Demand runs about 2 million gallons a day in winter and nearly 6 million at the summer peak.
In Wilsonville, leaves and yard debris are not supposed to go in the street. By city code, homeowners keep the sidewalk and half the street clear in front of their lots. The street sweepers go around leaf piles, so leaves belong in the yard waste bin. The city also holds a Leaf Drop-Off Day each fall.
The fall leaf cleanup and the spring cleanup are part of our program year. The program also covers mowing and edging, with four seasonal lawn fertilizer applications and weeding of the beds. The monthly rate stays flat, the same in leaf season as in the quiet winter months.

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
