Your yard should be a place of pride, not a patchy, lifeless headache. If your outdoor space has become overgrown, eroded, or simply neglected, yard restoration may be the solution. At Ground Up Services, we specialize in transforming even the most tired landscapes into lush, functional, and beautiful yards—all across the Portland Metro area.
What is Yard Restoration?
Yard restoration is the comprehensive process of reviving an outdoor space that’s fallen into disrepair. Whether due to poor drainage, soil erosion, weed overgrowth, or years of neglect, restoring a yard requires more than just a quick mow or trim. It involves strategic planning, expert landscaping knowledge, and hands-on labor.
Our yard restoration services often include:
-
Grading and drainage corrections
-
Turf renovation or reseeding
-
Soil amendment and aeration
-
Weed and brush removal
-
Mulching and ground cover installation
-
New sod or lawn installation
-
Landscape design upgrades

Yard Renovation vs. Lawn Maintenance
It’s important to understand the difference between yard renovation and lawn maintenance:
-
Renovation: A one-time, intensive process to repair and improve a neglected yard.
-
Maintenance: Ongoing upkeep like mowing, trimming, fertilizing, and cleanup.
After your yard restoration, we can transition you into a customized maintenance plan to keep your outdoor space healthy and vibrant long-term.
