Commercial Construction in Portland
Bid-Build Landscape Construction for Portland, Oregon Commercial Properties
Since 1974, DeSantis Landscapes has delivered commercial landscape construction for business owners, developers, and HOA managers across the Portland metro area. We carry full insurance and are Salmon-Safe certified, meaning environmental accountability isn’t a marketing claim for us. It’s built into every project we bid.
Our approach treats stormwater handling, native plantings, and hardscape design as integrated parts of a single construction plan, not separate line items added after the fact. For developers and property managers building within Portland’s stormwater requirements, that integration matters from the first site visit.

Every project begins with an on-site assessment of topography, sunlight, soil composition, and drainage conditions. That assessment drives material and plant selection rather than defaulting to a catalog solution. We partner with technology companies to source advanced irrigation controls and hardscape materials, so what goes into your site is current, not dated.
For plantings, we rely heavily on species native to Oregon. Oregon Grape and Western Sword Fern, for example, establish root systems suited to the Willamette Valley’s climate, reducing the need for supplemental irrigation and reliance on chemical fertilizers. When drainage design is part of the scope, we incorporate bio-retention areas, rain gardens, and bioswales using permeable materials that move and filter stormwater naturally. We back our construction work with warranties.
The DeSantis Way: Environmental Construction Standards
Environmental awareness shapes the techniques we use and the products we specify. We don’t treat erosion control or stormwater management as afterthoughts, and we don’t substitute conventional fill materials when native alternatives can perform better over time. Going beyond standard craftsmanship to use leading products that make long-term maintenance easier and less resource-intensive is what we call the DeSantis Way.
A Collaborative Process Built Around Your Goals
We believe the client should remain in charge throughout construction. That means open communication from the start: we listen to your goals, explain our recommendations, and keep you informed at each stage. Large commercial properties across the region trust our team with their landscape construction because of our environmental record and our consistency in following through on our commitments.
Creating Beauty. Respecting Nature.

Our Commercial Construction Process
We manage commercial construction from initial site visit through project completion. After the site assessment, we develop a plan covering plantings, irrigation, hardscapes, stormwater features, and a project timeline. Compliance and permitting are handled during the planning stage to help prevent delays once construction begins.
Scheduling, Safety & Site Coordination
Scheduling accounts for Portland’s wet-winter, dry-summer pattern and city inspection timing so work can proceed efficiently. On-site, our crews follow safety protocols guided by Oregon OSHA requirements for landscaping companies, including regular safety meetings. Our insurance coverage meets or surpasses industry standards.
We coordinate directly with property teams to establish safe staging areas and keep entryways accessible, keeping disruption to daily business operations to a minimum throughout the project.
