We have used Western Landscaping this last year for our yard care and have been very satisfied with their service. We recently had them add a walkway along our side yard. Before it was an eyesore with mulch and debris the builder left. It is now a very attractive and functional walk path and patio extension. Hector came up with a great design and his team worked diligently to get it done. Highly recommend Western Landscaping!

Expert Site Preparation in Lake Oswego, OR
Site preparation is the foundation of every hardscape project Western Landscape Construction LLC builds in Lake Oswego. Before any paver, wall, or surface goes down, the ground beneath it must be cleared, graded, and stabilized correctly. Lake Oswego properties present real challenges: sloped lots, clay-heavy soils that hold water instead of draining it, and elevation changes that demand precise grading to prevent erosion and settling. We address each of these conditions before construction begins. Our site prep work covers vegetation and debris removal, excavation, grading, and drainage planning. Every step is done to create a stable, level base that supports long-term hardscape performance. Skipping or rushing this phase leads to cracked surfaces, shifted pavers, and water damage. If your Lake Oswego property has a slope, poor drainage, or compacted soil, proper site preparation is what separates a hardscape that lasts from one that fails early. Contact us to schedule a site assessment.

FAQ
Site Preparation FAQ
Common questions about site preparation in Lake Oswego, OR.
Yes, site preparation is required before any hardscape surface is installed. Lake Oswego's clay soils and sloped lots make grading and drainage planning a necessary first step.
Site preparation includes clearing vegetation and debris, excavating to the correct depth, grading the soil, and planning drainage. Each step is done before any hardscape material is placed.
Sloped terrain in Lake Oswego increases the risk of erosion, drainage problems, and soil movement if not graded correctly. Proper grading controls how water flows and keeps the base stable.
Yes, we assess access conditions and lot constraints before work begins. Many Lake Oswego properties have limited access or steep grades, and we plan accordingly.
Yes, clay soils common in Lake Oswego hold water, which causes surfaces to shift, crack, or heave over time. Drainage planning during site prep prevents those problems.
Call or message us to schedule a site visit. We review your Lake Oswego property's slope, soil, and drainage before recommending a site prep scope.
