Professional Mulching in Portland
Mulch is one of the simplest, most effective ways to improve your landscape's health and appearance. It suppresses weeds, retains moisture, regulates soil temperature, and gives beds a polished look.
We offer a variety of materials — from dark hardwood bark to natural cedar and decorative colored mulches. We prep beds, edge cleanly, and apply the right depth for maximum benefit.

What Our Customers Say
"Austin at Stephens Landscaping is amazing! The fact that he's running this business and doing all the hard labor by himself shows what a hard worker he is! He was very clear about what steps were needed in order to have what I wanted in my yard! Fair prices too!"
"I had an excellent experience with Austin at Stephens Landscaping! He was very thorough in explaining how the process would work and how he could bring my dream front yard to life! I couldn't be more happy with how it turned out. Very competitively priced and got our job done in one day!"
"Stephen's Landscaping recently cleaned up my yard for spring and did a great job. He pruned a lot of plants and bushes, cleaned up all the dead leaves, raked, etc. Now it's easier for me to maintain the yard for spring and summer. Will definitely hire him again."
"Austin helped us replace our fence and work on landscaping our back yard. He was punctual and fair with price and very honest about what would work with a yard that had high pet traffic. Will be a continued customer!"
