Newport Avenue Landscaping — serving Sisters and all of Central Oregon since 2005.
Newport Avenue Landscaping has proudly served the Sisters community for many years, bringing our expertise in high-desert landscaping to homes and businesses across Black Butte Ranch, the Camp Sherman area, and downtown Sisters. We understand the unique charm and natural beauty of this region — from the Ponderosa pine forests to the stunning mountain views of the Three Sisters. Our dedicated team is committed to enhancing Sisters' distinctive landscape, creating outdoor spaces that thrive in its specific climate while reflecting the serene, rustic elegance that defines this beloved Central Oregon town. All work is performed by our own licensed crew — we never use subcontractors — and every installation project is backed by our 1-year workmanship warranty on hardscape installations and a 90-day plant warranty on all plantings.
Sisters, Oregon, situated at a higher elevation than Bend, presents a unique set of landscaping considerations due to its Zone 6a climate, heavier snowfall, and a notably shorter growing season. The ponderosa pine forest setting, while beautiful, also influences soil composition and plant choices, often requiring drought-tolerant and cold-hardy species. These environmental factors necessitate a thoughtful approach to irrigation, plant selection, and seasonal maintenance to ensure landscapes remain vibrant and healthy throughout the year. Understanding these local nuances is crucial for successful landscaping in Sisters — allowing us to design and maintain outdoor spaces that are both stunning and resilient in this high-elevation, high-desert environment.
WHY SISTERS CHOOSES NEWPORT AVE
Newport Avenue Landscaping serves Sisters and surrounding Central Oregon communities.
Black Butte Ranch is one of Central Oregon's most prestigious resort communities, situated in the ponderosa pine forest between Sisters and the Cascades. The community's HOA has strict landscaping standards that emphasize the natural forest aesthetic — plantings must blend with the ponderosa pine setting, hardscape materials must be natural stone or wood, and landscape lighting must be downward-facing to preserve the community's dark sky character. Newport Avenue has completed numerous projects at Black Butte Ranch and understands the HOA's design review process intimately.
Recent project: Full landscape renovation at Black Butte Ranch — natural basalt flagstone patio, native plant borders, and downward-facing landscape lighting approved by the BBR HOA.
Downtown Sisters is famous for its Western-themed storefronts, vibrant arts community, and the annual Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show. Commercial properties in downtown Sisters must maintain landscaping that complements the town's distinctive aesthetic — the City of Sisters has design standards for commercial landscaping that emphasize the Western character and the natural ponderosa pine setting. Newport Avenue handles commercial landscape installation and maintenance for downtown Sisters businesses, as well as residential properties in the surrounding established neighborhoods.
Recent project: Commercial landscape renovation for a downtown Sisters retail property — flagstone walkway, ornamental grass borders, and seasonal color planting beds.
Camp Sherman and the Metolius River corridor are among Central Oregon's most ecologically sensitive areas — the spring-fed Metolius River is one of the cleanest rivers in Oregon, and properties in this area must be landscaped with extreme care to avoid impacting the river's water quality. Newport Avenue's experience with riparian-sensitive landscaping makes us the right choice for Camp Sherman properties: we use only river-safe fertilizers and pesticides, design landscapes that prevent erosion and runoff, and select plants that complement the natural riparian environment.
Recent project: Riparian-sensitive landscape renovation near the Metolius River — native plant restoration, erosion control matting, and river-safe fertilizer program.
The Three Creeks and Indian Ford areas east and south of Sisters feature large rural properties with dramatic views of the Three Sisters volcanoes and the Cascades. These properties often have significant acreage, requiring landscape design that addresses both the immediate home surroundings and the broader property character. Newport Avenue's experience with large rural properties includes defensible space design for fire-prone areas, large-scale native plant restoration, and the creation of outdoor living spaces that frame the spectacular mountain views.
Recent project: Rural property landscape package near Indian Ford — defensible space zones, native grass meadow, paver patio, and outdoor fire feature with Three Sisters view framing.
