Ann Arbor Gardens NW - Ann Arbor's Certified Landscaping Services

This is a common issue here, often due to frost heave and erosion. We recommend moving beyond simple plastic edging. Our construction services include installing durable retaining walls and interlocking paver walkways or patios with deep-set bases. These structures act as built-in, permanent edging that resists shifting, defines your spaces beautifully, and solves drainage problems that cause the damage in the first place.

Shrub decline in our area can stem from soil pH issues, winter burn, disease, or pests like borers. We don't just remove them—we diagnose the problem. Our shrub care includes disease and insect management to treat the issue, expert pruning to remove damage and encourage health, and if needed, proper transplanting to a better location or soil amendment. For unsalvageable plants, we handle removal and replanting with species better suited to Ann Arbor's climate.

Absolutely. As a full-service firm, this is our specialty. For example, we can design and install a new patio with an integrated irrigation system (construction/installation) to improve drainage, then seamlessly handle the surrounding landscape by planting, pruning, and maintaining shrubs (shrub care/landscape maintenance). This integrated approach ensures your hardscape and plant life work together for a cohesive, low-maintenance, and healthy outdoor living space.
