Hardscaping in Canby
Hardscape work in Canby is some of our most efficient. Crew dispatches from the yard on South Barlow, materials stage from the same site, and the relatively flat alluvial lots in town make base prep predictable. Most paver and walkway projects here finish in 4-6 days. The drainage layer is still non-negotiable — clay sits 18-24 inches down on most lots.
About working in Canby
What we've learned installing hardscaping in Canby.
Canby is GI Landscape's home base. Our crew, equipment, and material stockpiles live at the yard on South Barlow Road, which means jobs in Canby get the fastest turnaround and the lowest mobilization overhead in our entire service area.
Terrain & soil
Canby sits on the Willamette River floodplain — alluvial soils with sandy loam in the upper foot, transitioning to clay at 18-24 inches on most lots. Drainage is generally better than the surrounding hillside cities, but the river-proximity means properties closer to Highway 99E need higher water-table planning on French drain installs.
Properties we work on
Mostly 1950s-1990s single-family homes on 0.15-0.5 acre lots. Newer builds on the south side run smaller. Average property value sits below the I-5 corridor average, which means we see more value-engineered installs and fewer premium-stone projects than in Lake Oswego or West Linn.

Permits in Canby
Canby's planning department is one of the more predictable in the area. Retaining walls under 4 feet generally don't need permits unless they support a driveway or structure. Anything over 4 feet requires engineering plus a building permit — the review fee is modest by Portland-metro standards. Floodplain overlay restrictions apply to lots near the river.
