Softscape and Plant Installation

Our deep experience with Michigan's unique climate helps us select high-quality plant stock that will thrive in your landscape. When designing a softscape for your outdoor space, a multitude of factors come into consideration:

Soil Quality - The quality and composition of the soil on your property often plays the biggest role in plant selection. Since Michigan features a variety of different soil types, we carefully assess your soil composition and offer suggestions for plants and natural foliage that is guaranteed to thrive in your landscape.

Sun Exposure - Shade and sun exposure varies on every property, and must be taken into consideration before designing a natural softscape. Evaluating shade and sun behavior on your landscape is one of the first steps we take before we select plant stock.

Functionality - Some plants and trees are built for looks, while others serve more functional purposes like natural wind-break, privacy, and erosion control. We mix and match a variety of plant and tree stock to provide the beauty and functionality you desire.

Topography - Elevation and slope of your land must be considered before any plant stock is introduced. Some plants thrive in higher, dry areas, while others require more moist soil in lower areas of your property.

Over the years, we have nurtured trusted relationships with local garden and tree nurseries allowing us to guarantee every single plant and tree we install. All of the plant and tree stock we source is hand-selected from local nurseries and tree farms with a long-standing reputation of exceptional quality. Whether you prefer more traditional stock for your landscape, or looking to push the boundaries with more unknown and exotic species of plants or trees, we'll find the right stock that suits your preferences.

Introducing mulch or stone into planting beds adds texture to your softscape, while preventing weed growth and preserving moisture retention. In addition to planting vibrant, high-quality plant stock, we also install mulch and natural stone to preserve the quality and beauty or your plantings. Complement your plant beds with a variety of colored and hardwood mulch, or natural stone like pea gravel, egg rock, slate, and other natural decorative aggregates.
