Services
Shade Trees
Our shade trees reduce energy costs by up to 35% through strategic placement. Varieties like Crimson King Maple and Pin Oak are selected for Michigan's climate, offering durability and seasonal beauty. Each tree undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure longevity and health, with installation services including soil preparation and mulching.
Ornamental Trees
We provide ornamental trees like Flowering Crabapples and Redbuds that enhance curb appeal with seasonal blooms and foliage. These trees attract pollinators and wildlife while requiring minimal maintenance. Our team ensures proper placement to maximize visual impact and ecological benefits.
Landscaping Design
Our designers create tailored landscapes considering property topography, soil type, and client preferences. Services include 3D modeling, material selection, and implementation plans. We integrate trees with hardscaping elements like patios and retaining walls for cohesive outdoor spaces.
Tree Installation
Professional installation includes site analysis, root ball preparation, and staking. We use balled-and-burlapped trees up to 18 feet tall for immediate impact. Post-planting care involves irrigation setup and fertilization to ensure establishment in Michigan's variable climate.
Mulch Supply
We offer premium mulches that regulate soil temperature, retain moisture, and suppress weeds. Options include hardwood, cedar, and dyed mulches available for pickup or delivery. Proper mulching extends tree lifespan and reduces maintenance needs.

This was an absolute pleasant experience. I had a tree planted in memory of my Mother in law who recently passed. They were professional, made sure their tractor didn't damage the lawn. Careful because I have an irrigation system. Used tarps to keep my lawn clear of dirt. And the tree looks perfect. They stayed in touch and met the commitment date. Highly recommended

Critical: Professionalism Refuses to pay his employees. Wouldn't recommend supporting a business that uses local, young men, who are just trying to make rent and then doesn't pay them.

Phone is picked up and hung up immediately! You can NOT get a hold of them! I do NOT understand how a place can call themselves a business if they don't answer their phone. This reflects on their quality of work and customer service if you ever do get a hold of them.
