Hardscaping

The structure that gives a yard its shape. We build patios, walkways and walls that look sharp the day they're finished and stay solid for years — in pavers, natural stone or concrete. Every project starts with a properly compacted base and real drainage, so it won't heave or settle down the road, and it's all backed by our five-year hardscaping warranty.

  • Patios, walkways & paver driveways
  • Retaining walls, steps & fire pits
  • Outdoor kitchens & living spaces
  • Pavers, natural stone & concrete

Lawn Care & Maintenance

Dependable, weekly recurring care that keeps residential and commercial properties looking sharp all season — no scheduling headaches, no surprises. The same crew gets to know your property each week, so mowing height, clean edges and trimming stay consistent from the first cut to the last.

  • Mowing, trimming, edging & blowing
  • Bush & shrub trimming, weed control in beds
  • Aeration & overseeding for a thicker lawn
  • Basic tree work, including storm-fallen trees

Freshly mulched garden bed
04 — Curb appeal

Mulching

Fresh mulch is the fastest way to make a property look cared-for. We deliver in bulk and install crisp, clean beds — or just install mulch you already have. Beyond the looks, a good layer of mulch holds in moisture, keeps weeds down and protects roots through Michigan's freeze-and-thaw winters.

  • Bulk delivery and install, or install only
  • Five options: natural, brown, black, red & playground blend
  • Crisp, hand-cut bed edges
  • Great as part of a regular maintenance plan
Five colors available

Seasonal Cleanups

Reset your property at both ends of the season. We clear it out, haul it away and leave your lawn spotless — or bring the leaf-vac for the curbside piles you've already raked. A clean fall start means a healthier lawn in spring, with less matting, mold and dead patches to fight come April.

  • Leaf & debris removal with full haul-away
  • Cutting back shrubs & perennials as needed
  • Mowing & bagging to clear every last bit of debris
  • Leaf-vac service for curbside piles

Snow Removal

Keep your business open and safe all winter. We hold seasonal contracts for commercial properties — your lot, walks and entrances cleared and treated, storm after storm. And when the piles get too big for the lot, we haul the snow away so you never lose parking spaces.

  • Plowing & salting of parking lots
  • Sidewalk shoveling, de-icing & salting
  • Snow-pile hauling when the lot runs out of room
  • Reliable seasonal contracts
