Beautiful Planting for Ann Arbor Homes

We handle planting and softscape across Ann Arbor and the surrounding Washtenaw County area. From older neighborhoods like Burns Park and Old West Side to newer homes in Georgetown and Saline, our local crew does the job start to finish.

Ann Arbor sits along the Huron River valley, with loamy and clay soils and many mature trees. The area sees cold snowy winters, spring rain, and warm humid summers, and that weather is hard on plants, so choosing the right ones for local conditions is the key to success.

We give honest written quotes, carry full insurance, and clean up completely when the work is done.

Why Planting Matters in Ann Arbor

Plants make a house feel like home. The right trees, shrubs, and flowers soften hard edges, add color and privacy, and help your property stand out. In Ann Arbor, the best plantings are chosen for local soil and weather, so they stay healthy and look good year after year.

We plant and refresh landscapes for homes across Washtenaw County, from Burns Park and Old West Side to Kerrytown and nearby towns like Saline and Dexter. Some clients want brand-new beds. Others want to replace overgrown shrubs, add shade trees, or simply clean up and mulch tired beds. Every project starts with a clear plan and a written price.

We plant the right way, with proper spacing, soil preparation, and watering instructions, so your new plants have the best chance to thrive.

Softscape Services We Offer

Bed design and planting with layered shrubs, perennials, and grasses.

Tree planting for shade, privacy, and ornamental interest.

Replacing overgrown or dying shrubs with better-suited plants.

Edging, weeding, and fresh mulch or rock to make beds look new.

How the Process Works

We start with a visit to look at your yard, sun, soil, and existing plants, and to talk about the look you want. Then we create a planting plan and a clear written price.

On planting day, we prepare the beds, place plants for your approval, plant them properly, and finish with mulch or rock. We clean up completely and leave you with watering instructions.

Planting for Local Conditions in Ann Arbor

Ann Arbor sits along the Huron River valley, with loamy and clay soils and many mature trees. The area sees cold snowy winters, spring rain, and warm humid summers. Those conditions decide which plants thrive and which struggle. We choose plants that handle the local climate, and we plan beds so they look good through the seasons, not just the week they're planted.

Choosing the Right Planting Company

Ask what plants they recommend and why, how they prepare the soil, and what their plant warranty covers. A good company will help you pick the right plant for the right spot and explain how to care for it.

That's how we approach every project, from a small entry bed in Lower Burns Park to a full yard makeover near Chelsea.
