Lakefront in Lake Oswego - Big Project in Progress (Pictures!)

Large Lake Oswego Landscape Project

Over the last 11+ months Ross NW Watergardens has been working on our largest project ever- a triple lot on Lake Oswego. A large water feature, multiple stone patios, over 100 stone slab steps, retaining walls in two different style, new irrigation and landscape light, and a healthy plant list are all included. We are 95% completed, and should soon have some great pictures.

In the meantime, here are some pictures from the construction of this signature project.

Construction Pictures:

This project was designed by two of Portland’s best: Sadfumi Uchiyama and Lynn Wolfstone. The general contractor, who was fantastic, is MCM Construction.

Early

The project was a muddy slope.

Water Feature

Gunnite had just been poured to create a shell for the water feature.

Pond

The pond wall looks like just a pile of rocks here.

Paths

Paths were poured, then bluestone and mica slate went over the top.
