Landscaping is often seen as an aesthetic expense, but for homeowners, business owners, and HOA managers in the Portland Metro and Salem area, it is one of the most reliable ways to build and maintain significant property value. Investing in your outdoor space is an investment in your property’s appeal, functionality, and long-term sustainability.

At DeSantis Landscapes, we understand that the secret to a creative masterpiece that reflects your vision is also a smart financial move. Our long history in the region, dating back to our founding in 1974, means we have the local knowledge to ensure your landscaping dollars yield the highest possible return.

Strategic Landscaping Design for Increased Property Value

The key to maximizing your Return on Investment (ROI) is moving beyond simple upkeep to strategic design and enhancement. An intentional, professionally managed landscape signals to potential buyers and tenants that the property is well-maintained and cared for, commanding a higher price.

Focus on Curb Appeal and Usable Outdoor Spaces

The first impression a property makes—its curb appeal—is non-negotiable. Our landscape design and installation services combine creativity with functionality, focusing on elements that offer enduring beauty. This includes mature, well-chosen plantings, defined walkways, and clean sightlines. Beyond the front yard, creating usable outdoor living areas, such as patios, decks, or gathering spaces, significantly increases perceived value. Buyers in the Salem and Portland Metro market are consistently looking for spaces where they can enjoy the region’s natural beauty, and a well-designed outdoor room is a massive draw.

Invest in Sustainability for Long-Term Savings

In the Pacific Northwest, smart, eco-friendly practices are not just a trend—they are an expected component of quality landscaping. Choosing sustainable approaches lowers your cost of ownership over time, directly boosting your ROI. We champion this with solutions like advanced irrigation systems that minimize water waste and the innovative use of bioswales. Bioswales, which effectively manage and filter stormwater runoff, are an exceptional example of a feature that is both environmentally responsible and a valuable property asset. This commitment to LEED-certified and green practices sets your property apart, demonstrating superior stewardship.

The Role of Expert Maintenance in Protecting Your Investment

A landscape is a living investment, and its value depreciates rapidly without proper care. Our comprehensive maintenance program is designed to protect and enhance the initial investment made in your design and installation.

Precision Care and Fine Gardening Techniques

Our maintenance services are more than mere upkeep; they incorporate fine gardening techniques that keep landscapes vibrant and healthy year-round. We employ green technologies and alternative fuel tools to minimize environmental impact while maximizing garden health. Furthermore, our dedication to plant and soil health is exemplified by our use of non-toxic treatments like compost tea. This natural, microbe-rich solution fosters a resilient ecosystem in your garden, promoting healthy growth and reducing the need for expensive, toxic interventions. This meticulous attention to detail ensures your landscape continues to appreciate in value.

Long-Term Planning and Cost Efficiency

Our decades of experience have given us the skills of precise cost estimation and efficient project management. This is particularly valuable for property owners and managers needing to plan and budget for continuous landscape excellence. By partnering with DeSantis Landscapes, you benefit from a custom-designed solution that not only meets your aesthetic aspirations but also operates on a highly cost-efficient and environmentally sound platform. Let our 50 years of experience and deep roots in the Salem area bring your outdoor aspirations to life.
