Retaining Wall Installation
Tigard’s terrain changes sharply between the Fanno Creek lowlands and the elevated slopes of Bull Mountain, and properties on that grade change deal with soil movement, erosion, and runoff that compounds through every wet season. A properly engineered retaining wall from Monaghan’s controls that movement, creates usable flat space, and holds up through Oregon’s wet winters without shifting or settling. We’ve completed hundreds of retaining wall installation projects across Washington County and bring that depth of experience to every Tigard property we assess.
New Sod Lawn Installation
Tigard’s established neighborhoods around Metzger and the Greenburg Road corridor often have compacted, thinning turf that’s been declining for years under the cycle of wet winters and dry summers. Properties near Cook Park and along the Tualatin River corridor sit on heavier soil that holds moisture well into spring. Monaghan’s installs premium sod suited to Washington County’s climate, including perennial ryegrass and fine fescue blends recommended by OSU Extension for western Oregon lawns. Every installation includes full soil prep and grading so new sod roots quickly and establishes evenly.
Sprinkler System Installation
Tigard summers are deceptively dry. The area routinely goes five to eight weeks without meaningful rain between July and September, and hand-watering rarely keeps pace with a full lawn and planted beds through that stretch. Monaghan’s designs and installs automatic sprinkler systems throughout the Tigard, OR area, with multi-zone setups built for everything from the compact lots near Downtown Tigard to the larger yards climbing Bull Mountain. Smart scheduling keeps water bills manageable while keeping grass green through the dry months.
Artificial Turf Installation
Properties along the Fanno Creek corridor and in lower-lying parts of Tigard stay damp and muddy from fall through spring, and shaded lots under the city’s mature tree canopy rarely dry out enough for natural grass to thrive. High-traffic backyard areas get worn down to bare soil well before summer. Synthetic turf from Monaghan’s holds up under all of it: no muddy paws, no re-seeding, no brown patches. Modern artificial grass drains fast, looks realistic year-round, and stands up to Oregon’s wet winters without matting or fading. It’s a popular upgrade for Tigard families with kids, dogs, or both.
Paver Installation
Many of Tigard’s homes near Summerlake, Southview, and the older neighborhoods along 99W were built in the 1960s and 1970s with original concrete that has been settling and cracking for decades. Monaghan’s installs paver patios, driveways, and walkways using precision base prep that prevents the shifting and heaving common on Tigard’s older lots. The result is a long-lasting, attractive surface that adds real curb appeal and value to your property.
Drainage Solutions
Tigard’s position along Fanno Creek means many properties in the lower-lying parts of the city deal with seasonal saturation that the original grading never accounted for. Properties climbing Bull Mountain face the opposite problem: water running downhill faster than the yard can absorb it. We install French drains, catch basins, and regrading solutions tailored to both conditions.
Beyond our five core services, we handle a full range of residential and commercial landscaping projects across the Portland metro area.
Tigard Landscaping Contractors
Monaghan’s Landscaping is a Tigard landscaping company with nearly four decades serving Washington County and the greater Portland area. Our crews have completed hundreds of projects throughout the city, from paver patios and sod installations on the flat lots near Cook Park and Summerlake to retaining walls and drainage work on the sloped properties climbing Bull Mountain. Every job comes with a workmanship warranty and a detailed written quote, and we won’t leave until the work meets the standard we set in the estimate. We’re not satisfied until you feel we deserve a 5-star review.
Tigard covers a lot of ground for a city its size, from the low-lying properties along Fanno Creek where seasonal drainage is a constant factor to the hillside lots on Bull Mountain where grading and soil stability define what’s possible. Not every contractor working in Washington County understands how much those conditions vary across a single city. Monaghan’s has been handling those site-specific differences on Tigard properties for more than 38 years, and that depth of local knowledge shows up in the quality of every estimate and every finished project we deliver.

Q: What areas of Tigard do you serve?
Monaghan’s Landscaping serves all of Tigard, Oregon, including Bull Mountain, Summerlake, Metzger, Cook Park, Southview, Downtown Tigard, and the neighborhoods along the Greenburg Road and 99W corridors. We also cover all of Washington County, Multnomah County, and Clackamas County. Call (503) 847-9110 or use the contact form below to confirm service to your address.
Q: What type of sod grows best in Tigard?
Perennial ryegrass and fine fescue blends are the top-performing varieties for Tigard’s wet winters and dry summers, and are the varieties recommended by OSU Extension for lawns throughout western Oregon. These blends establish quickly, handle foot traffic well, and stay green through the cooler months. Monaghan’s uses these as the standard for all sod installations in the Tigard area.
Q: Do you work on sloped properties on Bull Mountain?
Yes. Bull Mountain is one of the areas where we do the most retaining wall and drainage work in Tigard. The elevated terrain means steeper grades, faster runoff during the rainy season, and soil movement that compounds over time. Our crews regularly build retaining walls, install drainage systems, and handle grading on hillside lots throughout the Bull Mountain area.
Q: What permits are required for retaining walls in Tigard?
In the City of Tigard, retaining walls over four feet in height generally require a building permit. Walls near property lines, on steep slopes, or supporting surcharges like driveways may have additional engineering and setback requirements under Tigard’s development code. Monaghan’s is familiar with local permitting for residential retaining wall projects and can help guide you through what’s needed for your specific site.
Q: Does Tigard have the same clay soil problems as the rest of Washington County?
Yes. Most of Tigard sits on the same clay-heavy soil found throughout the Tualatin Valley. It drains slowly, holds moisture, and expands and contracts with seasonal temperature changes. Properties in the lower-lying areas near Fanno Creek tend to have the heaviest conditions. That affects base preparation for paver patios, drainage layers behind retaining walls, and how we prep soil before sod installation.
Q: Do you work on older homes near Downtown Tigard and 99W?
Yes. Many of Tigard’s homes along 99W and in the older neighborhoods near Downtown were built in the 1960s and 1970s. Original concrete driveways, patios, and walkways on these properties have often settled or cracked over the decades, and original grading may no longer direct water away from the foundation. Monaghan’s handles paver replacements, drainage corrections, and retaining wall projects on these older lots regularly.
Q: How does Fanno Creek affect landscaping in Tigard?
Fanno Creek runs through the center of Tigard, and properties near the creek corridor sit in some of the lowest-lying terrain in the city. That means higher water tables during the rainy season, slower-draining soil, and yards that stay saturated longer than properties on higher ground. Proper drainage planning is especially important for these properties, and it’s something our crews factor into every estimate for work near the creek corridor.
