We had a good experience with Simple Lawns. After getting a few quotes I just felt like they were the most knowledgeable and made me feel confident. The owner is very responsive as well. I appreciated that they also could get the job done for our backyard in 2 days! Insane!

Thank you, Simple Lawns, for making the process so easy. The price quote was fair. You were able to get us on your calendar quickly. Your workers were professional and knowledgeable about both sprinkler systems and putting in new sod. They were also able to create my vision of a dry riverbed even better than I could have imagined. They were polite and friendly, worked hard and every day cleaned up after themselves, sweeping and hosing down the street and driveway. We were so pleased with them that we are now going to use them to complete the landscaping by delivering and planting trees in our new backyard. I will definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a landscape company!
Thank you, Dale and Stephanie

We had Simple Lawns landscape a portion of our backyard and it looks amazing! We had two fairly vague requirements, make it look nice and leave room for a vegetable garden, and they did a truly wonderful job. Both David and Eddie were knowledgeable about what plants and features would look best in our yard, were communicative throughout the process, worked within our budget, and were very thorough. We will be hiring them again to finish the rest of the yard

Simple Lawns, did an awesome job cleaning up and fixing things. The lawn was a mess, but they made it look super neat and tidy. Eduardo and his team also did great with the construction work, making everything look good and solid. What’s cool about Simple Lawns is how they keep you in the loop and sort out any issues quickly. If you need someone for your lawn, Simple Lawns, especially with Eduardo, is a solid pick.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines bioswales as “vegetated, mulched or xeriscaped channels that provide treatment and retention as they move stormwater from one place to another.”
Bioswales are an excellent solution to stormwater management and are in ever-increasing demand from Portland, OR to Vancouver, WA. In fact, some cities are requiring drainage solutions (like bioswales) for new development. Bioswales provide a highly sustainable solution that actually reduces the total runoff left to the city stormwater system. According to the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA), a 4-meter bioswale can reduce runoff by about 25%.
Simple Lawns & Landscape Design knows that every property is unique. From Portland, OR to Vancouver, WA, we have experienced professionals who know how to design, install, and maintain your tailored bioswale.
Bioswales and rain gardens support low-impact development by managing runoff closer to where it falls. Properly designed systems can help with flood mitigation, erosion control, and pollutant removal before stormwater reaches a receiving waterbody.
Native plants with deep root systems can improve soil infiltration while providing wildlife habitat and pollinator value. We select plants suited to local conditions, including areas with full sun or wet conditions.
Every bioswale installation is designed around the property's drainage needs, soil conditions, and available space. Bioswales help manage runoff from impervious surfaces such as driveways, parking areas, and walkways. As water moves through the system, sediment and pollutants such as heavy metals, oils and grease, total phosphorus, total nitrogen, and pathogens may be reduced through filtration, plant uptake, and other natural processes.
Depending on the project, installation may involve a shovel, sod cutter, or excavator to shape the swale and prepare the soil. Our team can incorporate:
With appropriate grading, native plants, and a low-maintenance design, bioswales can provide long-term drainage benefits while supporting groundwater recharge and evapotranspiration. Contact us today to discuss a custom bioswale installation for your Vancouver, WA property.
