What We Do

Design, install, and maintain — under one roof.

Residential hardscape and outdoor living are the core of the business. Commercial grounds management and snow contracts keep the same crew year-round, which is why the install team doesn’t disappear between jobs.

Serving three counties since 1993 — Macomb, Oakland & St. Clair.
