Customer feedback consistently mentions attentive listening, easy communication with the owner, and crews that work hard and keep sites tidy. Many reviews cite successful yard transformations, including paver work, steps, and plantings that hold up well. Design creativity and delivery on agreed plans are recurring positives. Several long-term clients note returning for additional projects over the years.

We hired Pete in 2006 in the early days of New Leaf Landscaping to design and install patio pavers at our front entrance. After 19 years of Michigan winters, the step and a few of the pavers needed to be re-set with new and improved poly-sand. We were happy to find that the company is still in business and thriving! Pete is not only personable but a fair and honest guy. We enjoyed working with him and his team again and appreciate their great customer service!

Need landscaping? Call The New Leaf Landscaping Company in Chelsea! Pete will take the time to listen and is always easy to reach.

Our project was transforming an overgrown, underutilized yard. Picture spotty grass, hill erosion, crumbling pavers, failed retaining walls, brush and vines encroaching. We had issues. This highly skilled crew tackled it all!

The new custom yard design includes a lush full lawn, mulch beds with beautiful low-maintenance plants, stepping stones, and an eye-catching rock garden. Pete’s crew even recycled old stone to build us a fire pit. Now we can finally enjoy the entire property and feel safe letting kids play.

I highly recommend working with The New Leaf Landscaping Co. From design, to demo, to execution we felt included in the process. Every team member always welcomed our questions and input. This company prioritizes communication and quality work that adds value. Look no further.

I've worked with The New Leaf Landscaping Co. in Chelsea several times over the past 6-7 years and seem to call them each summer for some kind of project, improving the look of an area, mulch, ideas, help. They are my go-to landscaping company!! They have transformed my yard, patio and steps into beautiful, low-maintenance areas to enjoy.
Sean and Matt worked so hard on installing some steps, plantings and ledges in an area that was washing away. It continues to look beautiful!
The guys are all great to work with, hard-working and thorough. Pete is just a great guy and takes plenty of time to offer suggestions, but not oversell a client.
I highly recommend them for any landscaping or hardscape project!!!

So….we challenged New Leaf owner Pete Katke to design a signature rock garden for our new custom home. Both he and the installation team, led by Shawn, definitely exceeded our expectations!!! They listened, offered creative input, kept communication lines open and importantly, they delivered! We are thrilled with the work quality, execution of our unique rock garden and professionalism shown by all on staff. With appreciation, Marina and Eric

Working with Pete and his crew at New Leaf was very easy. They went above an beyond, making sure that we were pleased with the new landscaping and walkway to our new deck. The final product was beautiful and we were able to enjoy the space this summer. Highly recommend!
