Hardscaping Troutdale, OR

Hardscaping Services in Troutdale

Troutdale sits at the gateway to the Columbia River Gorge, where the Sandy River meets the Columbia. The city's location at this transition point gives it a unique character — and some unique hardscaping considerations related to wind exposure and volcanic soil.

Terrain and soil: Troutdale's terrain includes the lower river flats near the Columbia and Sandy Rivers, and rising ground toward the Boring Lava Field to the south. The volcanic basalt soil in many Troutdale properties is excellent for drainage but challenging to excavate.
