Union Designs & Landscaping | Professional Landscapers in Bellaire, MI

A key part of our design process is selecting the right plants for the right place. Many dying shrubs in our area are a result of poor soil conditions, improper sunlight, or using species not hardy enough for our winters. We assess your property's specific microclimate and soil, then design with hardy native and adapted plants that are proven to thrive in Bellaire, reducing stress and preventing common die-off.

Given our freeze-thaw cycles and heavy snow, flexible plastic or rubber edging often heaves and cracks. In our designs, we typically recommend more durable solutions like steel edging, which resists bending, or integrated stone and paver borders. These materials are anchored properly during installation to withstand winter ground movement, providing a clean, long-lasting edge that won't need constant repair.

Absolutely. A core principle of our design service is creating beauty that endures with minimal fuss. We address local issues like edging damage and plant health from the start by specifying durable materials and resilient plant groupings. The result is a cohesive landscape plan that not only solves these common problems but also reduces your ongoing maintenance time and costs, letting you enjoy your Bellaire property more.
