BEND, OREGON · LICENSED & INSURED · DESIGN-BUILD
Newport Avenue Landscaping installs complete landscapes for Bend homeowners and commercial properties — from bare lots to full backyard renovations. Licensed landscape architects on staff. Design, installation, irrigation, hardscape, and ongoing care, all under one roof.
BEND'S LANDSCAPE INSTALLATION CONTRACTOR
Newport Avenue Landscaping has been installing landscapes in Bend and throughout Central Oregon for over 21 years. We are a full-service design-build contractor with licensed landscape architects on staff — meaning we handle your project from the initial site consultation and design through complete installation and ongoing maintenance. You work with one team, one contract, and one point of contact from start to finish.
Bend's high-desert environment at 3,600 feet elevation presents specific installation challenges: volcanic pumice soil that drains rapidly, extreme temperature swings between seasons, low annual precipitation around 12 inches, and increasingly fire-prone conditions in the wildland-urban interface. Our crews have spent two decades developing installation expertise specific to these conditions — from proper soil amendment techniques and efficient drip irrigation to cold-hardy plant selection and firewise defensible space design.
Whether you are building a new home in NorthWest Crossing and need a complete landscape installation, renovating an established property in Awbrey Butte, or transforming a bare East Bend lot into a functional outdoor living space, Newport Avenue Landscaping has the experience, licensing, and crew capacity to deliver. Our licensed landscape architects can take your project all the way from initial design concepts through construction and into long-term ongoing care — so your investment looks great and performs well for years to come.
HOW IT WORKS
We visit your property, assess existing conditions, discuss your vision and budget, and answer questions. No pressure, no obligation.
Our design team develops a custom landscape plan with plant selections, hardscape layout, irrigation zones, and a detailed cost estimate.
We review the plan with you, incorporate any changes, finalize the design, and schedule your installation date.
Our experienced crews handle every aspect of installation — grading, hardscape, planting, irrigation, lighting, and cleanup.
We walk through the completed project with you, explain irrigation programming, and provide a plant care guide and warranty information.
WHY CHOOSE US
We have been installing landscapes in Central Oregon since the early 2000s. We know Bend's soil, climate, water restrictions, and neighborhoods better than anyone.
One team handles design, permits, installation, and maintenance. No coordinating between separate designers and contractors — one call, one contract.
Our large, experienced crew means we can take on projects of any size — from a single front yard to a 1,000-unit HOA community — and complete them on schedule.
We hold an Oregon LCB license and carry full general liability and workers' compensation insurance. Your property and investment are protected.
Every plant we install, every irrigation system we design, and every hardscape we build is engineered for Bend's high-desert climate — not copied from a Pacific Northwest template.
We visit your property, assess conditions, and provide a detailed written estimate at no charge. No pressure, no obligation.
SERVICE AREA
We install landscapes in Bend and all surrounding communities. Our crews travel throughout Central Oregon to serve residential and commercial clients.
SCOPE OF WORK
Landscape construction is the physical build phase of a landscape project — the grading, hardscape installation, irrigation rough-in, planting, and turf work that transforms a design plan into a finished outdoor space. It is distinct from landscape maintenance (ongoing care) and landscape design (planning and drawing), though Newport Avenue Landscaping handles all three under one contract.
A full landscape construction project in Bend typically includes: site preparation and grading to establish proper drainage and finished grades; irrigation system installation with main lines, lateral lines, heads, and a smart controller; hardscape construction including paver patios, walkways, retaining walls, and steps; planting of trees, shrubs, perennials, and groundcovers selected for Bend's Zone 6b climate; turf installation (sod or hydroseed); and mulch or rock application to finish planting beds.
Larger landscape construction projects may also include outdoor living structures (pergolas, covered patios, outdoor kitchens), water features, landscape lighting, drainage systems, and firewise defensible space work. Newport Avenue Landscaping self-performs all of these scopes with our own licensed crews — we do not subcontract the core construction work.
HIRING GUIDE
Oregon requires landscape contractors to hold an active Oregon Landscape Contractor's Board (LCB) license before performing landscape construction work. When hiring a landscape contractor in Bend, verify their LCB license number, confirm they carry general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, and ask whether they self-perform the work or subcontract it. Newport Avenue Landscaping holds LCB license #9153, carries full insurance, and performs all construction work with our own employees.
A qualified landscape contractor in Bend should also demonstrate specific knowledge of Central Oregon's conditions: volcanic pumice soil that requires amendment before planting, Bend's 12-inch annual rainfall and the irrigation requirements it creates, the freeze-thaw cycles that affect hardscape installation, and the Wildland-Urban Interface fire risk that influences plant selection throughout Deschutes County.
Newport Avenue Landscaping has operated in Bend since 2005. Our 150+ crew members have installed landscapes in every Bend neighborhood, on every soil type, and through every weather condition Central Oregon produces. We provide written proposals, detailed project timelines, and a post-installation walkthrough with warranty documentation on every project.

A full landscape installation from Newport Avenue Landscaping typically includes: site preparation and grading, soil amendment, irrigation system installation, plant installation (trees, shrubs, perennials, groundcovers), sod or seeding, rock or bark mulch, hardscape elements (pavers, walls, edging), and final cleanup. We can also include landscape lighting, water features, and outdoor living structures depending on your project.
Installation timelines depend on project size and complexity. A basic front yard installation takes 2–5 days. A full backyard renovation with hardscape and irrigation typically takes 1–3 weeks. Larger projects with extensive hardscape, retaining walls, and outdoor living structures may take 3–6 weeks. We provide a project timeline estimate during the design phase.
Bend's Zone 6b high-desert climate at 3,600 feet elevation favors drought-tolerant and cold-hardy plants. Top performers include: native sagebrush and bitterbrush, ornamental grasses (Blue Oat Grass, Karl Foerster), drought-tolerant perennials (Salvia, Penstemon, Lavender, Yarrow), conifers (Ponderosa Pine, Juniper), and deciduous trees (Aspen, Serviceberry, Chokecherry). We select plants that thrive in Bend's specific conditions — low rainfall, volcanic pumice soil, and cold winters.
