“Alan did a wonderful job helping us with water issues we have had in our yard for years, even helping fix a previous company's work that was not done correctly. He and his team were professional and hard-working. I highly recommend ARP if you have any landscaping needs!”

FAQ
Common Questions About Landscape Design
How much does landscape design and installation cost?
Landscape design and installation projects in Mid-Michigan typically range from $2,000 for a single-bed refresh to $25,000+ for a full-property transformation. We provide a detailed estimate after the initial consultation.
Do you offer just installation, or full design-build?
Both. If you already have a design or know what plants you want, we can install. If you need help with the design itself, we offer a full consultation and design process before any installation begins.
What plants do you recommend for Mid-Michigan?
We work exclusively with plants suited to USDA Hardiness Zones 5b–6a, which covers most of Mid-Michigan. Favorites include native perennials, ornamental grasses, spirea, arborvitae for screening, and flowering trees like serviceberry and redbud.
Can you fix my drainage issues as part of the landscape project?
Yes — drainage correction is one of the most common reasons homeowners call us. We incorporate grading, French drains, and dry creek beds into landscape designs to solve wet spots, pooling, and erosion before they damage your foundation.
