NEIGHBORHOOD LANDSCAPING · BEND, OREGON

NorthWest Crossing Landscaping

ARC-compliant designs, drought-tolerant plantings & year-round maintenance for Bend's most walkable neighborhood.

NorthWest Crossing is Bend's most intentionally designed neighborhood — craftsman and modern homes, wide sidewalks, mature street trees, and a community culture that takes outdoor aesthetics seriously. The NWX Architectural Review Committee (ARC) enforces those standards with a detailed approval process for any landscape change. Newport Avenue Landscaping has navigated the NWX ARC hundreds of times. We handle the design, the documentation, and the submission so you don't have to.

Navigating the NWX ARC Approval Process

The NorthWest Crossing ARC requires detailed plans before any significant landscape change — botanical plant lists, irrigation diagrams, material samples, and site drawings. Incomplete submissions get rejected, which delays your project by weeks. Our design team prepares complete, ARC-ready packages that get approved the first time.

We've worked with the NWX ARC long enough to know exactly what reviewers look for and what triggers a rejection. That experience saves you time and money before a single shovel hits the ground.

PRO TIP: ARC Submissions

Always include both botanical and common names in your NWX plant list — the ARC requires both. Also submit a scaled site plan showing setbacks from property lines and existing trees. Newport Avenue handles all of this as part of our standard design process.

Plant Selection for NWX's High Desert Climate

NorthWest Crossing sits at 3,600 feet in USDA Zone 6b — hot, dry summers and cold winters with limited rainfall. The NWX ARC also favors water-wise, native-compatible plantings that blend with the high desert surroundings. Our go-to palette for NWX includes Blue Fescue, various sages, Lavender, Kinnikinnick, Serviceberry, and drought-tolerant ornamental grasses — all ARC-approved and proven in Bend's climate.
