The best Portland landscapes begin with imagination. If you can dream it, Exstream Landscaping can build it…this includes the kids too! So whether it's fighting pirates on the high seas, keeping watch over the yard for invading lions and tigers and bears (oh my!), setting up a boys or girls ONLY clubhouse for some wicked games of checkers or just gazing at the stars on a warm summer's night, a tree house is the perfect addition to your yard for fueling any child's imagination.

We build Treehouses for safety, we build them for fun and we build them with little or no impact to the tree! We can also build them for budget-minded parents, grandparents and aunts and uncles.

Call us today for a free consulation. We'd love to hear your ideas…and your child's!

Some of my fondest memories include time spent with the family gathered around a fire!

In our family, we try to get together every year and enjoy stories, singing, guitar, marshmallows, s'more's, relaxing drinks and it always ends in laughter, good times and lots of memories.

Kids, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends, neighbors, doesn't matter, we always have fun whenever we get together. No matter what the season, there is always fun to be had gathered round the fire

This year, whether you live in Portland or any of the surrounding areas (including Gresham, Clackamas, Tigard, Beaveron, Hillsboro or Milwaukee) you really should consider building a fire pit in your yard. They can range from quite simple to rather complex and are easy on any budget. Fire pits are lots of fun, easy to maintain and can be built for wood, gas or propane! 

If you are planning on building one this year, the sky's the limit! And be sure to check many of the great examples over at ExstreamLandscaping.com

Rain chains are a beautiful and functional alternative to traditional, gutter downspouts for homes in the Portland area. Guiding rain water down chains or cups from the roof to the ground, rain chains transform a plain gutter downspout into a pleasing decorative feature.  Rain chains come in a variety of colors, sizes and shapes. They are an awesomly decorative way to manage the unlimited supply of water runnoff that we have here in the Pacific NW.

Rain chains can also be used to harvest rainwater for use in the garden or to make a stunning water feature, the possibilities are limited only by your imagination. ​

Exstream Landscaping did an outstanding job. All work was completed on time, and it cost me a quarter of what other contractors had bid. We will be using Exstream Landscaping for all of our other outdoor projects!

​Pergolas are a great addition to the Portland oregon landscape, especially with the warmer weather we've been having in the NW lately and spring has only just begun! There will be many more warmer months to come.

A pergola is not only a lovely structure but it also serves as a quiet cool place to enjoy your yard in comfort and style.

The photos sort of tell the story.
