Initial Consultation

Every design starts with a conversation. During your consultation, we listen carefully to your goals, assess your property, and offer our preliminary ideas based on your style, needs, budget, and, of course, Mother Nature.

Site Analysis

Next, we conduct a detailed survey of your property. We analyze soil conditions, drainage patterns, sunlight exposure, and existing structures to determine opportunities and limitations.

Design Phase

Armed with our findings, our designers craft a unique 2D or 3D visual representation of your landscape. This includes layout plans, materials, plant selections, and more.

Review & Revisions

Once we finish the initial design, we’ll present it to you for your feedback. After all, the best landscapes are dreamt up as a team. And don’t worry about getting everything right the first time — we offer up to three revisions within one year to refine and enhance your plan. We promise that your dream landscape will be brought to life before your eyes.

Beautiful New Features to Consider for Your Landscape

A new design should be more than just pretty — it should enhance your lifestyle. With Great Lakes Landscape Design, you have access to a wide array of features to include in your outdoor environment that are elegant, awe-inspiring, durable, and, above all, functional.

 

  • Outdoor Living Areas: Are you looking forward to hosting dinner parties on a beautiful stone patio or enjoying a fire pit with your friends on a crisp autumn night? Our landscape design team can make this happen with thoughtfully planned and beautifully installed outdoor kitchens, seating walls, fireplaces, covered pergolas, and more.

  • Water Features: From serene koi ponds to babbling waterfalls, water features can add tranquility to any garden. Our designs will integrate these elements seamlessly into the flow of your space.

  • Hardscaping: Pathways, retaining walls, decorative rock gardens, and other hardscape features not only add structure but also reduce maintenance. When constructing hardscaping, we use materials that complement your home’s architecture while providing lasting durability.

  • Lighting: Landscape lighting adds ambiance and drama to your outdoor space while also enhancing security and safety. We offer energy-efficient options that highlight key features, brighten walkways, and extend the usability of decks and patios well into the night.

  • Seasonal Plantings: Our horticulturist curates seasonal plant selections that bring year-round beauty so that your landscape will always be in tune with nature.

No matter your goals, our landscape design company will guide you toward the right elements to enhance both the form and function of your outdoor space.

We’re Here for All Your Ongoing Landscaping Needs

Once your new design is installed, our support doesn’t stop there. We offer ongoing landscape maintenance services in Metro Detroit to help preserve the integrity, appearance, and health of your outdoor environment. From pruning trees and shrubs and choosing seasonal plantings to laying mulch, performing hydrology system checks, and applying fertilizer, our lawn care service team makes sure your landscape continues to thrive year-round.
