Custom Hardscaping Installations

What’s the foundation of a well-balanced outdoor space? Hardscaping, of course! These non-living elements — patios, walkways, porches, pool decks, retaining walls, and decorative stonework — provide structure, functionality, and an aesthetic balance that complements your greenery.

As part of our landscape design and installation services, our professionals will make sure that every hardscaping feature enhances your outdoor space’s beauty and usability. We use high-quality materials (from natural stone to manufactured products) and partner with trusted manufacturers (such as Unilock, Oaks, Fendt, Hanover, and Belgard) to create one-of-a-kind landscapes that stand the test of time.

Types of Materials We Install for Patios & More

Do you love the classic appearance of a stone patio, or do you prefer a concrete option that allows your greenery and florals to take center stage? No matter which type of material you choose, the professionals at our landscape installation company will lay the stones or pavers down with precision to provide long-lasting results and a boost in your yard’s aesthetic.

Manufactured Concrete Pavers

If you’re looking for a more uniform, modern aesthetic with endless design possibilities, manufactured pavers are a versatile solution. Available in a variety of shapes, colors, and textures, concrete pavers can mimic the look of brick, stone, or even wood while offering superior durability.

Natural Stone

For those seeking a timeless and elegant look, natural stone is an excellent choice for hardscaping features. Bluestone, in particular, is a popular option for patios and walkways due to its durability and rich blue-gray hues that complement many landscape styles. Flagstone, with its irregular shapes and earthy tones, creates a more organic, rustic appearance, making it perfect for garden paths. Another top choice among homeowners is travertine, which is known for its smooth surface and slip-resistant qualities, which means it’s an ideal selection for outdoor areas like pool decks.

Our team installs natural stones in one of two ways: wet-laid or on a dry base (like pavers). Depending on your style preference, we can lay the stone down as one continuous piece, in a more modular configuration, or even in an irregular, random pattern like a jigsaw puzzle or mosaic.

 

Hardscape Features & Enhancements

A fireplace can add such a magical feel to a dark cold evening, and if ambiance is what you are after, then this is the perfect addition to your landscape installation. We can build your fireplace from natural stone or manufactured products and design it to be wood-burning or powered by gas.

Not sure a fireplace is right for you? Try something a little more intimate, like a fire pit or fire table. We can modify these selections to your space.

 

Water can be such a tranquil and soothing element in your garden. It has the ability to buffer the sound of the city and bring you back to nature. If you want to incorporate a water feature in your landscape, let our team know! We can install:

  • Ponds

  • Fountains

  • Waterfalls

  • Bubbling Rocks

  • Streams

  • Water Walls

  • And more!

It is amazing how everything changes at night — the familiar objects of the day take on a new life in the dark. Colors change, and shapes are manipulated by their own shadows, leaving you wondering what you will see next. We can help you illuminate your path and provide drama to your personal oasis with your own low-voltage lighting system.

We’ll design a plan that enhances your landscape during the day and illuminates and brings intrigue during the night. From simple designs to elaborate lighting nightscapes, we are here for you.

Arbor and pergolas are dramatic outdoor walkways or rooms that use columns to support an overhead, trellis-like structure. They maintain an open-air feeling while typically blocking some of the sun load. Our installation experts can help you craft an arbor or pergola that extends your entertainment space in a way that makes the most of Michigan’s gorgeous summers.

Softscaping Installation

Softscaping includes everything from flower beds and shrubs to trees and ground cover. These elements of your landscape bring life and color to your outdoor space and are the perfect complement to hardscaping features.

When you partner with our specialists for softscaping, we work closely with you to choose the right plants for your property, taking into consideration factors such as soil quality, sun exposure, and seasonal changes. Whether you want a low-maintenance garden filled with native plants or a meticulously manicured lawn accented with perennials, we handle the installation process from start to finish.

From ornamental shrubs to vibrant perennial flower beds, our landscape installation contractors carefully plant each selection for optimal growth. We also take into account various heights and textures to create depth and visual interest. If you want a natural landscape that wows your neighbors and continues to thrive for years, contact our landscapers today!

While it may be something that we need as humans to survive, water is a downright nuisance to landscaping. For this reason, we incorporate drainage solutions such as French drains, dry creek beds, hydrology systems, and grading techniques to redirect excess water away from structures and planting areas. With our team on the job, you don’t have to worry about your hardscape or softscape elements.

 

Rain gardens are an eco-friendly way to manage stormwater runoff while enhancing the beauty of your outdoor space. These specially designed gardens are planted with deep-rooted native plants that absorb rainwater and filter pollutants. Our landscape installation company can create a custom rain garden that blends seamlessly into your yard, reducing soil erosion and improving groundwater recharge.

Perfect for high-traffic areas, play spaces, and pet-friendly yards, synthetic turf is a durable and aesthetically pleasing alternative to natural grass. Our installation process includes preparing a stable base, ensuring proper drainage, and carefully laying the turf for a seamless, natural appearance. With synthetic turf, you can enjoy the look of a well-manicured lawn without the upkeep of mowing, watering, and fertilizing.

Without proper care and maintenance, even the most well-planned outdoor spaces can lose their charm over time. That’s why post-installation care is essential to preserving the health and appearance of your landscape. The good news is that we offer routine maintenance plans that help your plants thrive. Based on the specifics of your landscape, we will create a customized schedule that may include pruning, mulching, fertilization, and seasonal cleanups so that nothing gets in the way of your property’s pristine appearance.

For results that flourish season after season and year after year, partner with Great Lakes Landscape Design for comprehensive landscape installation and maintenance services.
