Advanced Landscaping: Experienced Landscaping Services Serving Ann Arbor, MI 48105
5014 Walnut Creek Ln, Ann Arbor, MI 48105
Local Business Overview
Advanced Landscaping is a trusted Ann Arbor family business with roots in Washtenaw County's own soil. Founded in 2014 by brothers Sam and Ted, who grew up managing seven rural acres, the company began as a direct response to the impersonal and costly services of large corporate contractors. Their hands-on experience, gained from years working under bigger firms, fueled a commitment to providing high-quality, personalized landscaping at a more accessible price. Today, under the management of their younger brother George, the business continues this legacy. George, a college student who has worked in the industry for years, leads a dedicated crew of fellow students during the spring and summer seasons. They combine practical skill with a deep understanding of local conditions, serving Ann Arbor, Washtenaw, and Livingston counties with a focus on reliable service, clear communication, and customer satisfaction.
Q&A
What's the best way to handle bare patches and weeds in Ann Arbor's climate?
Ann Arbor's seasonal shifts create ideal conditions for bare spots and weeds. We tackle this by first assessing your soil and lawn health. For bare patches, we use quality seed blends suited for our local climate and provide proper aeration and soil amendments to encourage healthy growth. For mulch beds, we recommend and install professional-grade landscape fabric during our installation or cleanup services, which is highly effective at suppressing weeds while allowing water through. Regular weeding and a fresh layer of mulch in spring are also key parts of our maintenance plans to keep your landscape looking its best year-round.
Do you handle hardscaping projects like patios and retaining walls?
Yes, we offer comprehensive hardscaping services. Our team is experienced in the construction and installation of patios, walkways, driveways, and retaining walls. Properly built retaining walls are crucial in our area for managing soil erosion and creating usable space. We handle the entire process from design to installation, ensuring durable and aesthetically pleasing results that complement your home and landscape. Our background in both landscape construction and design allows us to integrate these features seamlessly into your overall outdoor space.
You mention being a seasonal company. What services are available and when?
As a seasonal business managed by college students, we operate at full capacity from early spring through late fall. This is when we offer our full range of services, including spring cleanups, mulching, weeding, lawn care, shrub care (planting, pruning, disease/insect management), and all construction projects like irrigation systems, patios, and walls. Our focus during this period is on installation, growth, and maintenance. We typically conclude the season with final leaf cleanups and winterization services. This model allows us to provide concentrated, high-quality service during the prime landscaping months in Michigan.
