LandArc Landscaping and Design is a small, local landscape business, serving the Eugene / Springfield & surrounding areas. From architectural landscape design to the installation of custom landscapes. We DESIGN It. We BUILD It! We offer landscape consultation, design, and construction services. With skilled craftsmanship, LandArc Landscaping & Design uses wood and stone to build custom structures in the landscape, such as decks, patios, pergolas, retaining walls, fences, pathway, water features, and low voltage lighting systems.

In addition to the Landscape Construction services, LandArc Landscaping & Design is restoring the ecological systems by installing plants, creating wildlife habitat, and building bioswales and raingardens to clean the stormwater before it contaminates the rivers. We live in an urban forest that has been fragmented by human development. We have constructed our homes within a watershed that has been polluted with toxins. People have a tendency to isolate and separate themselves from the natural world.

LandArc Landscaping & Design has an experienced building crew that specializes in the construction of custom arbors and pergolas. Arbors act as a threshold or place of transition that provide a passage through from one outdoor room to another. Pergolas are structures built in the landscape that provide dappled shade over a patio or deck. These arbors and pergolas may be different sizes and shapes, depending on the function that they are intended to perform. Form follows function, as LandArc designs for custom outdoor products that are specially adapted to suit the landscape context and intended use of the structure.

LandArc Landscaping & Design has an experienced building crew that specializes in the construction of custom decks. We will help you to design a layout and define the details needed to create a beautiful, long-lasting deck that serves the purpose and function for your outdoor living experience. LandArc Landscaping & Design will customize your deck with a wood or composite decking surface, elevated or ground level, with or without railings, stained or unstained. A deck can provide an elevated platform from which to survey your property or observe nature.

LandArc Landscaping & Design Integrates low-voltage lighting into the landscape. We use low-voltage lighting to illuminate and highlight special elements in your landscape, such as pathways, water features, patios and porches, plantings, pools or other outdoor recreational areas, as well as your home's architectural features. We use outdoor lighting to create atmosphere, provide safety by repelling burglars or vandals, and to light the way on paths, patios, and other outdoor places in the landscape.

The first step in any landscape design, construction, or garden maintenance project is to contact us by Phone at (541) 653-9459, or use our Landscape Consultation Form to let us know your needs. We want to discuss the landscape process with you and share more information about our company. If you are thinking about developing a landscape design with various garden structures, you may want to make a sketch, cut out pictures from a magazine, and thoughtfully construct the space by asking yourself, "What is the purpose of the landscape design?"

Whether it's a beautiful covered patio, a storage shed for organizing your garden equipment, or even a chicken coop to provide fresh eggs to your family each day, LandArc Landscaping & Design will help to make your outdoor covered projects come to life. In the Pacific Northwest rain is inevitable. LandArc Landscaping & Design will build a covered outdoor structure over your deck or patio that will protect you from the elements and allow you to enjoy your landscape rain or shine. Often we use polycarbonate panel roofing material for a lightweight, super durable covering that will allow the sun to penetrate through and look amazing year round.

Plants don't just look "beautiful." LandArc Landscaping & Design uses plants strategically to provide many services including privacy, food, medicine, habitat, shade, color, texture, architectural form, and more. Many of our client are requesting landscapes that are low maintenance and drought tolerant. Native plants are a perfect solution to minimize water use and reduce the need for maintenance. Over time, these plants have adapted to the local climate and soils, thereby requiring less maintenance and conserving on water use.

Fences can take many shapes with different types of materials, such as cedar wood, corrugated galvanized roofing, galvanized cattle panels, bamboo, etc. They serve a function as a sculptural element bordering the property and the wall that contains the landscape, providing visual privacy. The fence is not merely a barrier to keep unwanted visitors out.

Thus, reducing toxic pollution in our waterways.

LandArc Landscaping & Design has an experienced building crew that specializes in the construction of custom hardscapes, such as retaining walls. Stone sets the foundation to stabilize slopes and define the edge of a space. A natural stone retaining wall is a random, yet organized, assortment of boulders and rocks that create a customized border. Concrete block retaining walls are a great solution to control erosion, to terrace a hill, to add a planting bed, to build a seatwall, or to level an ideal patio area.

LandArc Landscaping & Design understand the technical and ecological complexity behind constructing water features. We can build all scales, from small pondless bubblers to large ecosystem ponds.
