A Legacy in Landscape

Back in 2004, Andres Picon Pacheco moved his family to Oregon from Colombia and immediately began working in the landscape industry. Inherently hardworking and ambitious, Andres soon struck out on his own and in 2007, Andres Landscape was born. From those humble beginnings, the company flourished and now employs over 40 people! Their family-friendly approach, superior customer service and creative artistry have earned them the deserved reputation as a market leader in both residential and commercial landscaping.
In 2019, Andres’s son, Andres Picon Ardila, graduated college with a degree in finance and joined the team as the new Business Manager. I had the pleasure of speaking with Andres Picon Ardila and it was immediately clear why Andres Landscape is such a success. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable and professional regarding the business, but his passion was evident. There is a real sense of pride in what they’ve accomplished: a multi-generational family legacy.
Andres Landscape offers a variety of services that run the gamut from smaller maintenance jobs all the way up to complete landscape renovations, redesigns and construction projects. Maintenance work includes turf management, lawn care, fertilization programs, weed control, pruning and trimming, and backflow testing to ensure you are county compliant. Design and construction work is comprehensive: hardscapes, patio covers, retaining walls, water features, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, fire pits, and spas. They also do bark and compost, playground chip blowing services, sod and irrigation installations, irrigation repairs, outdoor lighting, outdoor audio, plant design, preventative and/or restorative drainage systems, and one-time storm cleanups. Everything is done with an eco-friendly and artistic flair, custom-designed to match each individual client’s specific needs.
Creating a design for your outdoor space, whether it’s in a residential setting (front or back yard), or a commercial setting (business park), takes a keen eye. It requires extensive knowledge and experience to ensure you are making the most of the space while simultaneously avoiding many of the common pitfalls these
types of projects can generate. How often have you noticed trees improperly installed on properties where the surfacelevel roots buckle the sidewalks and make for hazardous walking conditions? Or improperly installed drainage systems which leave high-traffic areas flooded during the rains?
Andres Landscape has a highly-trained and experienced design team to assist you in making all the right choices, serving up form and function to provide superior curb appeal while still maintaining proper functionality. Their installers are the best in the business and can transform your property from banal to beautiful in the snap of a finger. They seek to provide unparalleled service by treating every client like family, and since they have individual experts leading each department of the organization, you always get the best advice from the most qualified personnel.

Trying to keep up with the constant demands of home maintenance? Put Window Genie to work! Window Genie specializes in window cleaning, pressure washing, gutter cleaning, holiday lighting and window tinting. More than that, Window Genie’s team is part of a larger network that can connect you to other services beyond its scope. Locally owned and operated, Window Genie of Beaverton, Tigard and Lake Oswego has so much to offer you’ll wish you’d had them at your fingertips all along.
A local franchise, Window Genie of Beaverton, Tigard and Lake Oswego is owned and operated by Shari Poindexter. Fully licensed and insured and part of a large national company, “you can count on Window Genie to clean, protect and beautify your home so you don’t have to.” A commitment to customer satisfaction and professionalism is what has set them apart since 1994.
From developing her team to working with clients, Shari’s business philosophy centers around building strong relationships. “It’s really about the people: those I hire to do the work, the clients we serve; making myself available for onsite estimates, and the team members who answer your call.”
Shari understands the business is about more than just the work they do. They might be onsite for window cleaning or
pressure washing, but it’s about the entire experience. “From start to finish, we want the entire process to be relational and professional. After all, I’m sending my team to walk amidst a client’s home, their kids, their pets -- our clients have to feel good about the interaction as well as the results we deliver while we’re there.”
For clients who are interested in multiple services per year ask about the Pre-Pay & Save Annual Maintenance Plan! If you’d like your windows or gutters cleaned a couple times per year, for example, just pick the dates (no contract and nothing to sign) and Window Genie will apply the appropriate 15-30 % discount when you prepay and schedule the services in advance. Then if life happens, and the selected date no longer works, no worries – Window Genie will confirm a few weeks in advance and will simply move your service to another day. So
give them a try! Clients only pay upon completion of the initial service, because that’s just good business! And Window Genie is backed by the Neighborly Done Right Promise™: “It’s not done until it’s done right!”
Window Genie is part of the home services network of Neighborly™ Company. So if a home maintenance job falls outside of Window Genie’s purview, chances are that another one of Neighborly’s home service brands can help — visit Neighborly.com.

The people at Willamette Outdoor wash are on time, polite, friendly, hard workers who take care to not harm plants around the house. They washed our vinyl siding and applied moss control to our roof. The house looks brilliant now. We plan to use them to in the future as need arises, and can recommend them with confidence.

I am the Community Outreach Coordinator for the Gilbert House Children’s Museum and recently hired Gary and his team to pressure wash our Outdoor Discovery Area. They were prompt, professional, and did an amazing job cleaning the space. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for their service.
Thank you!
