Paver driveway rebuild

Rated 5 out of 5 on Google

I have had two paver driveways redone to accommodate the growth of existing trees. Fidel and crew did beautiful work. They completely pulled up the pavers, reconfigured the level, and placed every paver back with great care. I can’t recommend this company enough for their great work.

I had a wonderful experience working with Western Paver Design. Austin was a great communicator and Fidel and his team worked tirelessly to get everything done so efficiently and left everything clean and tidy. The design was beautifully constructed and the details were cut perfectly. I would highly recommend them!

Retaining wall

Rated 5 out of 5 on Google

The Western Paver Design team was amazing to work with. We had excellent communication before and through our project. Our wall was done right with a drain. The team was efficient and did not leave any trash. The extra gravel was thoughtfully spread. We even got a measurement to estimate how much backfill soil would be needed to complete the space. A+++

Retaining wall & patio

Rated 5 out of 5 on Google

We had Western Paver and Design redo our backyard, including a retaining wall and extending our patio to create more usable outdoor space and it turned out absolutely perfect! It’s been two years since the project was completed, and everything still looks exactly like the day it was finished. The quality of the work, attention to detail, and craftsmanship really show over time. The added patio space completely transformed our backyard and made it so much more functional. We couldn’t be happier with the result and would highly recommend Western Paver and Design to anyone looking for beautiful, long-lasting outdoor work. This pic is my favorite spot to be at during spring and summer :) We also did pavers along the side of the house which look so good and are much more functional. 10/10 experience!

Patio & walkway pavers

Rated 5 out of 5 on Google

WPD did an outstanding job on our patio and walkway paver project from start to finish. The quality of the work exceeded our expectations, the craftsmanship was top-notch, and everything was completed exactly as promised. The entire process was smooth and well-organized, and the crew was professional, punctual, and respectful of our property. A huge shoutout to our project manager, Austin, who was excellent to work with—communicative, knowledgeable, and on top of every detail throughout the project. Our outdoor space looks incredible, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. We highly recommend WPD to anyone in Oregon looking for a high-quality paver company

Retaining wall & fence

Rated 5 out of 5 on Google

We recently worked with Western Paver Design to build a new retaining wall and fence in our backyard, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The team provided a very fair price and made the entire process seamless with great communication from start to finish. They actually completed the project ahead of schedule and were incredibly diligent about cleaning up the site afterward. As you can see from the photos, the final product looks amazing. Highly recommend them if you're looking for quality work!

Paver patio & louvered pergola

Rated 5 out of 5 on Google

Western Paver Design recently installed a paver patio and louvered pergola for me and I am beyond pleased with the results! They exceeded my expectations in the quality of their work, their diligence and attention to detail, and the care they took with my property and that of my next-door neighbors throughout the installation. Austin did a great job as project manager in putting together a concise and detailed bid with schematics so that I was able to easily get the necessary HOA approvals. He provided me with updates on the process and scheduling and was always available for questions. German, the work crew lead, was great at communicating the installation process and he and the crew did a fantastic job. I interviewed several different contractors and I am SO glad I went with Western Paver Design. I highly recommend them!

Warranty repair

Rated 5 out of 5 on Google

Western Pavers saved the day! We had a few pavers sinking due to normal settling. I reached out and a few days later the crew was dispatched. They did excellent work and it was covered under warranty. An easy experience and looks like new.

Retaining wall replacement

Rated 5 out of 5 on Google

We loved working with Austin at Western Pavers to get our retaining wall replaced. His crew headed by Fidel arrived on time and worked quickly on this project. We were surprised when they completed our project in just 2 days. The result is amazing!! Both beautiful and sturdy. We highly recommend them!!

Deck & permeable pavers

Rated 5 out of 5 on Google

Wonderful experience working with Western Paver Design! Austin was very helpful with the entire process from quote through final walk through until we checked all the boxes. German and his team were hardworking, friendly, and skilled. German’s craftsmanship and design aesthetic really shined with a custom latching gate under the deck, framed lattice panels, and the picture framing on the deck. Love the permeable pavers to help with my drainage issues and all the quality materials and construction. This is a major upgrade to my house and I’m pleased with the investment. The quote came in at the middle of three quotes, but with a good balance of quality and supporting a local company, too. Thanks, WPD!

Paver patio

Rated 5 out of 5 on Google

We had a fabulous experience working with Western Paver Design. Austin was our Project Manager and guided us through the process, answering all my MANY questions promptly. Fidel and his crew did our installation and were a pleasure to work with. They made sure every detail was exactly as we wanted it, and we ended up with a paver patio that was even more beautiful than I could have imagined! I would highly recommend Western Paver Design.

Artificial turf

Rated 5 out of 5 on Google

We are so happy with are new artificial turf lawn. We always had problems with keeping our lawn green over the years as the sun hits it all day long. Joe suggested artificial turf, explained the process, and showed us a sample of the product. His crew showed up on time, and worked really hard at making sure we were happy with everything. Dan, the project manager, was extremely helpful, and checked up on the progress each day, and when it was finished. We recommend Western Paver Design for your next paver and/or artificial turf project. You won't be sorry!

Herringbone paver driveway

Rated 5 out of 5 on Google

Our neighbors redid their driveway recently, and it was so beautiful we asked them who they used. It was Western Paver Design. So we gave them a call and Dan Mackenzie along with Roger and his team came out to our place, demoed our driveway and walkway, and installed a beautiful paver herringbone design. Both Dan and Roger were great as well as the whole crew and the crew did a professional job from first to last. We would highly recommend WPD to anyone, looking to redo their drive or walkway.

80 ft retaining wall

Rated 5 out of 5 on Google

Western Paver Design just replaced roughly 80 feet of retaining wall. They did an excellent job. They actually over built it. It’s twice as sturdy/stable as the prior one and I’m pretty sure that it could even withstand an earthquake. The finish design is very nice and they clean everything up and are extremely respectful of the property.

A Base Built to Drain — Pet-Friendly Artificial Turf project by Western Paver Design in Portland, Oregon

A Base Built to Drain

What's under the turf matters more than what's on top. A flat yard on slow-draining soil will puddle under the surface unless the base is built to carry water through and away. We excavate, install a permeable base and compact it, so rain and rinse water pass down through the turf instead of sitting on it.

That same base keeps the surface level through a wet winter and heavy use, and it gives the edges something solid to anchor into.

Choosing a Turf Your Dog Can Live With — Pet-Friendly Artificial Turf project by Western Paver Design in Portland, Oregon

Choosing a Turf Your Dog Can Live With

We only source the highest quality turf materials with different pile heights, softness, and durability options. For dogs, a shorter, denser pile is easier to clean and stands up to running and turning, while a softer turf may suit a yard that's shared with kids and bare feet.

We'll bring options to your estimate and help you pick one for the size of your dog and how the yard gets used.

Keeping Pet Turf Clean and Fresh — Pet-Friendly Artificial Turf project by Western Paver Design in Portland, Oregon

Keeping Pet Turf Clean and Fresh

Pet turf is low maintenance, but not no maintenance. Pick up solids as you would on grass, and rinse the area with a hose regularly. Winter rain does a lot of that work for you. In dry months, or in a small run that gets constant use, an enzyme cleaner made for artificial turf keeps odors down.

Our turf options are affordable and, in many cases, can be installed in less than a week.

Frequently Asked Questions

Artificial Turf for Dogs FAQs

01

Is artificial turf good for dogs?

For most dogs, yes. Turf gives them a clean, soft surface with no mud, bare patches or digging holes. It can get warm in direct summer sun, as most outdoor surfaces do, so give your dog shade and water on hot days. We'll help you choose a turf made for pet use.

02

Does dog urine drain through artificial turf?

Yes. Turf is permeable, and we install it over a permeable base, so liquid passes through rather than sitting on the surface. Rinsing the area with a hose regularly keeps it clean, and a dedicated enzyme cleaner helps in spots that get heavy use.

03

Will artificial turf smell with a dog?

Not if it's installed and cared for properly. Odor usually comes from a poorly draining base or from a heavily used area that never gets rinsed. A good base, regular rinsing and an occasional enzyme cleaner take care of it, and our winter rain helps too.

04

Can my dog dig up artificial turf?

It's much harder to dig through than a lawn. The turf is secured at the edges and sits on a firm, compacted base, so most dogs lose interest quickly. If you have a determined digger, tell us at your estimate and we'll pay extra attention to the edges and fence lines.

05

How long does a pet turf installation take?

In many cases, less than a week. The time depends on the size of the yard, how much needs to be removed and how easy the site is to access. Your electronic proposal lays out the scope, so you know what to expect before we start.

06

What warranty comes with artificial turf?

Artificial turf carries a 1-year warranty on workmanship only. Turf may also be warrantied by the manufacturer, on a case-by-case basis. See our warranty page for the terms on each service.
