Maintenance

Apogee Landscapes provides a variety of landscape maintenance services for residential and commercial properties in Portland, Oregon, and the surrounding communities. We can provide service at regular intervals, or as a one-time property visit. Our team is happy to discuss the best services for your property.

Plant Health Care

Flowers, shrubs, and trees on your property need special care to avoid disease and insect damage. Periodic inspections can identify signs of disease, nutrient depletion, or other problems. We do not use products that contain synthetic chemicals with any of our plant treatments.

Tree and Shrub Pruning

Pruning trees and shrubs on your property removes dead or diseased branches to keep them in good health. Pruning can alter tree canopies, allowing them to provide your property with more shade. It also helps flowering shrubs to blossom at the perfect time to see maximum results. Apogee Landscapes knows the perfect time to prune trees and shrubs to improve their health and help them grow through the changing seasons.

Alternative Lawn Care

Grass alternative lawns are eco-friendly and low-maintenance alternatives to traditional grass lawns. These alternatives are gaining popularity due to their ability to conserve water, reduce chemical inputs, and support biodiversity. Some common types of alternative lawns include clover, moss, and ornamental grass.

Organic Soil Amending

Applying organic materials to the soil, such as compost, manure and leaf mold can introduce more nutrients to your garden and landscaping beds. Organic soil amendments also improve soil structure and improve water retention. Organic soil amending is a sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to improve soil fertility and support healthy plant growth. 

Natural Pest and Weed Control

Natural pest and weed control methods offer environmentally friendly alternatives to chemical pesticides and herbicides. These methods are effective ways to manage pest and weed populations while minimizing harm to humans, local wildlife, and the environment. Some effective natural pest and weed control methods include:

• Companion planting
• Crop rotation
• Fencing and netting
• Mulching
• Soil solarization

To determine which methods are the best for your property, reach out to Apogee Landscapes. We can implement one method, or a combination to combat pests and weeds that infiltrate your property.

Irrigation Services

Regular inspections of your irrigation system can identify damaged pipes, leaks, or other problems that require professional repair. Our team will take note of the water distribution from the sprinkler heads and make adjustments if any areas get too much (or not enough) water. 

As temperatures cool, we will drain and winterize your irrigation system. Removing excess water from the pipes can prevent damage over the winter months. Keeping your irrigation in good working order is a great way to conserve water while helping plants flourish.

Organic Gardening Services

We use natural methods and materials in our organic gardening services. Our goal is to prioritize soil health, water conservation, and biodiversity while providing excellent service to every client. We do not use products that contain synthetic chemicals in any of our services.

Composting and Debris Removal

Composting and debris removal are essential components of sustainable waste management practices, particularly in gardening and landscaping. Organic materials like fallen leaves break down and form compost, which adds a boost of nutrients when applied to your garden or landscape. 

Our debris removal service clears any unwanted material from your property. That could include fallen leaves, branches, or other organic debris.

One-Time Cleanups

If your residential or commercial property is overrun with fallen branches and other debris, you can schedule a one-time cleanup with Apogee Landscapes. Our one-time cleanup service clears your property and prepares the space for planting, landscaping, or other uses.
