About Us

Built on showing up, doing good work, and caring.

Better Avenue started with a simple idea: Portland neighborhoods deserve a landscaping company that treats your yard with the same care it would give its own. No corner-cutting, no missed calls, no mystery crews. Just one person — your person — who knows your property and takes pride in it.

We serve inner SE and NE Portland exclusively, which means we can offer something most companies can't: reliable, consistent service from someone who is part of the same community you live in.

"I'm not just a lawn service — I'm your neighbor."

— Ben Ballard, Owner & Founder
