Q&A
How does your landscape design approach handle common Northern Michigan issues like lawn fungus and weeds?
Our landscape design and construction services proactively address local challenges. For lawns prone to fungus, we focus on improving drainage and selecting disease-resistant grass varieties suitable for our climate. To combat persistent weeds, we incorporate proper soil preparation and strategic hardscaping elements like walkways and patios, which naturally reduce weed-prone areas. Our irrigation design services also play a key role, ensuring precise watering that promotes healthy turf without creating conditions favorable to fungus. The goal is to build resilient landscapes that require less intensive maintenance over time.
What is the typical process for a custom patio or walkway installation in Traverse City?
The process begins with a consultation to understand your vision and assess your property. Our team then creates a custom design, considering factors like drainage, soil composition, and how the space will be used. We select materials, such as natural stone or pavers, that complement your home and can withstand our freeze-thaw cycles. Installation follows established industry standards for a stable, long-lasting base and precise placement. We handle all aspects of the construction, from excavation to the final jointing sand, ensuring a seamless and durable result that enhances your outdoor living.
Can you handle both the hardscaping and the living elements, like shrubs, for a complete landscape project?
Yes, as a full-service company, we manage the entire project. We construct the hardscape features—patios, walls, walkways—and then seamlessly integrate the softscape elements. Our services include shrub selection, planting, pruning, and ongoing care plans tailored to Northern Michigan. This integrated approach ensures the hardscape and plantings work together functionally and aesthetically. For instance, a retaining wall can be designed with proper drainage to support healthy shrub beds above, and patio layouts can be planned to accommodate mature plant growth.
