In the City of Roses, yards are an extension of the living room. A thoughtfully installed set of garden beds in Portland Oregon not only boosts curb appeal, it delivers fresh produce, pollinator habitat and year-round color. CountBricks brings next-generation technology to this timeless outdoor feature, pairing AI voice estimates with local trade expertise so homeowners get stunning, durable beds without budget surprises.
Traditional estimating relies on paper sketches and guesswork. CountBricks replaces those delays with live voice conversations that turn your ideas into a complete scope in minutes. While you describe the cedar dimensions or the stone veneer you love, CountBricks AI pulls realtime lumber pricing, soil volumes and labor rates from Portland suppliers. The result is an instant, line-item breakdown you can trust.
• Zero hidden costs thanks to realtime material databases
• Rapid blueprint takeoffs eliminate manual measurements
• Side-by-side comparisons of cedar, metal or masonry beds
• Instant upgrade options like drip irrigation or weed barrier
• Professional PDF quote ready to share with HOA or lender
CountBricks designers blend horticulture insights with buildability. Portland’s wet winters and dry summers demand rot-resistant materials and smart drainage. Our team factors these regional realities into every estimate:
• Cedar and juniper resist Pacific Northwest moisture better than pine
• Galvanized steel beds require thermal breaks to prevent soil overheating
• Raised heights of 18-24 inches improve root aeration in heavy clay zones east of the Willamette
• French drains or gravel layers manage winter downpours on sloped lots
1. Voice Consultation: Discuss bed sizes, finishes and site access with a CountBricks estimator.
2. AI Takeoff & Pricing: Software converts the call into a complete scope, pulling current costs.
3. Digital Approval: Review, tweak and sign the proposal from any device.
4. Scheduled Delivery: Materials arrive precision-cut to reduce onsite waste.
5. Expert Installation: CountBricks crews assemble, level and secure your beds.
6. Final Walk-Through: Verify quality, receive maintenance tips and a digital invoice.
Because CountBricks updates costs daily, numbers stay accurate. Typical price bands include:
• Entry cedar kit (8' x 4' x 18") installed: $950 – $1,250
• Custom L-shaped cedar with cap rail: $1,800 – $2,400
• Galvanized steel series of three: $2,100 – $3,000
• Masonry raised planter with stucco finish: $3,500 – $5,000
Each estimate accounts for delivery in the Portland metro, site prep and soil blends matched to specific crops.
• Apply food-safe linseed oil to cedar every two years
• Add 30% pumice to soil mix to combat soggy winters
• Install a 1" PVC conduit under pathways for future drip lines
• Rotate crops seasonally to prevent nutrient depletion
• Log harvest data in the CountBricks homeowner portal to refine soil amendments
When the Chen family in Northeast Portland wanted eight cedar beds for vegetables and cut flowers, they turned to CountBricks for speed and clarity. During a 20-minute voice call, our estimator captured square footage, orientation and accessibility. The AI engine produced a detailed cost report—including compost, trellises and a cedar seating bench—while the client was still on the phone. Materials arrived three days later, pre-labeled for quick assembly. By day eight, the Chens were sowing lettuce seeds, confident in a solid warranty and a hassle-free invoice stored at CountBricks.com/portfolio.

• Drip Irrigation Loops: CountBricks estimators calculate emitter spacing and water pressure on the fly, slotting backflow preventers into the bill of materials automatically.
• Decomposed Granite Paths: AI takeoffs measure exact square footage, accounting for sub-base depth so you get the right truckload on the first delivery.
• Low-Voltage Lighting: From solar bollards to smart transformers, our platform prices fixtures in real time and exports wiring diagrams directly to installers.
A hillside lot once considered unusable is now a tiered food forest, thanks to CountBricks. The homeowner recorded a two-minute voice memo describing a retaining wall and three stacked beds. AI mapping spotted the 15-degree slope, triggered geogrid reinforcement requirements and pulled structural lumber costs. The approved proposal arrived the same afternoon and the first retaining posts were set five days later. By integrating path lighting and automated watering into the original scope, the client saved 18% compared with separate trade quotes.
