Services
Landscape Design
Our landscape design process begins with a detailed planning sheet to understand your vision and needs. We create customized computer-generated models to visualize your outdoor space, focusing on harmonizing home architecture with functional, aesthetically pleasing environments. Our team provides material samples and collaborates closely to refine designs until they meet your exact specifications.
Lawn Care Maintenance
We offer comprehensive lawn care programs including mowing, edging, seasonal cleanups, and pest control. Our services use proper equipment and timing to ensure healthy, durable turf. We partner with specialized providers for fertilization, aeration, and grub/mole control to maintain optimal lawn health throughout the growing season.
Hardscapes
Our hardscape services include patios, retaining walls, walkways, and decorative structures using materials like stamped concrete, natural stone, and composite decking. We focus on creating functional outdoor living spaces that complement your home's architecture while improving property usability and value through durable, weather-resistant installations.
Underground Sprinkling
We install custom underground irrigation systems tailored to your landscape's specific water needs. Our designs ensure efficient water distribution for lawns and plantings, using weather-appropriate scheduling and durable components to maintain healthy vegetation while conserving resources through targeted delivery methods.
Landscape Plantings
We source high-quality, locally grown plants acclimated to Michigan's climate for optimal performance. Our planting services include hand-selected specimen plants, shrubs, and trees suited to your property's soil, sunlight, and environmental conditions. We provide one-year warranties on all plantings and include care instructions to ensure long-term success.
