Introduction

At our company, we know how much Portland homeowners value their gardens and outdoor spaces. That’s why when you choose us for your painting project, we not only transform your home’s exterior but also safeguard your landscaping throughout the process. We understand the unique challenges of the Pacific Northwest climate, and our careful approach ensures your property looks beautiful both during and after painting.

Here’s how we protect plants and landscaping during exterior painting in Portland, OR, while delivering stunning, long-lasting results.

Comprehensive Plant Protection

When our crew arrives, one of the first steps we take is securing your landscaping. We carefully cover plants, shrubs, and flower beds with breathable fabric and protective tarps. This shields them from paint drips, overspray, and dust while still allowing airflow so they stay healthy throughout the project. Unlike DIY methods that often involve plastic sheeting, our professional-grade materials ensure plants are never suffocated or overheated.

Creating Safe Work Zones

Your landscaping is an investment, and we treat it as such. Before we begin painting, we set up clear work zones and walkways for ladders, equipment, and supplies. By creating designated paths, we prevent unnecessary foot traffic across your garden beds and protect delicate root systems from being compacted. Our crew uses boards and padding when needed to make sure no damage occurs during setup.

Pre-Paint Pruning and Preparation

We go beyond paint protection by preparing your plants for the project. Our team trims back overgrown branches and vines near siding or trim areas. This allows us to apply paint evenly and keeps plants from accidentally brushing against wet surfaces. By handling this prep work, we eliminate the hassle for you while promoting healthy plant regrowth after the job is finished.

Hydrating and Shielding Landscaping

A day before we start painting, we recommend and often assist with watering your landscaping thoroughly. Hydrated plants are more resilient to being covered temporarily and less likely to experience stress during the project. Once hydrated, our team strategically positions shields, such as boards or netting, around sensitive landscaping features to create an added layer of defense against overspray.

Careful Relocation of Potted Plants and Decor

For potted plants, garden furniture, and outdoor features near the house, we carefully move them to a safe distance. We handle heavy items with proper equipment so nothing is scratched, cracked, or damaged. Once painting is complete, we return everything to its original location, giving you a fresh, polished home exterior with your garden just as you left it.

Post-Paint Cleanup and Garden Care

Once the painting project is complete, our service doesn’t stop there. We carefully remove all coverings and protective barriers to avoid spilling paint or debris onto your landscaping. For plants near painted areas, we rinse them with clean water to remove any dust and refresh their appearance. We always leave your property in better shape than we found it, with both your home exterior and landscaping looking their best.
