Landscape Gardens

We couldn’t be happier with the incredible work Landscape Gardens did on our Northern Michigan lake home.
Every element of the design feels intentional and perfectly suited to the natural beauty of Northern Michigan. Ken took the time to understand our vision and elevated it beyond what we imagined — blending functionality, aesthetics, and the surrounding landscape seamlessly. Ken also handled all permits, variance meetings, and EGLE requirements with professionalism and expertise. His knowledge and organization gave us total confidence that everything was being done correctly and efficiently.
The entire experience was smooth, transparent, and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a landscape design company that delivers exceptional results while managing every detail along the way, we highly recommend Landscape Gardens. Our outdoor space is now our favorite place to gather, relax, and enjoy lake life — and we’re grateful for the care and craftsmanship that made it possible.

Our experience with Landscape Gardens was as good as it gets. From tearing out a large wooden deck to transforming our backyard into a garden like area was amazing. From first sitting down with Ken and starting the design work to the finished product was truly seamless. So often you hear jobs get delayed or stalled, people don't show, with Ken and his crew they were spot on and finished in a timely manner much to our liking. We were so impressed with these guys, we are already consulting with Ken regarding our landscaping for our new build lakehouse in northern Michigan. They have won our business with landscaping needs.

Landscape Gardens completely exceeded our expectations. We needed a total front porch and back patio overhaul, and they delivered a beautiful, high-quality final product. Ken and his team were knowledgeable, listened to our ideas, and offered great expert advice. Our front porch, back stone patio, landscaping, and garden beds look fantastic! Very professional, friendly, and hard-working crew!

I had an excellent experience working with Landscape Gardens. They helped redesign the front of my home to accommodate a large, fast-growing pine tree and refreshed my backyard landscaping in early September. They even replanted some of my existing plants and suggested new ones that fit beautifully into the overall design.

From start to finish, their communication and professionalism stood out. They responded promptly to every inquiry, provided a clear and professional diagram of the new layout, and shared photos of the plants they recommended. They were patient with my many questions and always took the time to explain things thoroughly.

The installation was quick, and the crew was quiet, kind, and respectful. When I raised a concern during the process, they addressed it immediately, validated my concern, and offered thoughtful options to resolve it. They also adjusted our sprinkler system timing to ensure the new and transplanted plants would receive the water they needed in the late-summer heat.

Overall, a fantastic experience. I will absolutely use them again for future landscaping needs!

Landscape Gardens did a fine job servicing our landscape needs! Our property was in a sore need of a landscape freshen up and improvement in design of the plantings. Our property finally looks lovely and neat! The team has a good deal of experience selecting plants that not only look good, but make the most "sense" for the property (such as taking into consideration the plentiful deer). They were very helpful in cleaning up not only weeds, but some plants that were not properly planted and could not endure the weather. We love the flagstone paths that were thoughtfully and beautifully installed. In addition, the maintenance crew does a great job of ensuring our plants have a well-tended "manicured" appearance. The office was responsive in relaying messages when I had concerns and Ken and his crew did not keep us waiting in terms of responding to any landscape concerns. Even the irrigation person was helpful in setting up the various zones so that all the growth would get proper irrigation. We appreciate the detailed invoices so that we understand what we are paying for as well! Thank you Landscape Gardens for your experienced, attentive, professional, responsive service, delivered with courtesy.
