Gazebo Design & Construction Services in Sterling Heights, MI

“I have been a client of Great Lakes Landscape Design for over 20 years. Their work is outstanding as they pay an incredible amount of attention to detail. The staff is always courteous and respectful and they are a pleasure to work with. They have handled my lawn and spring/fall cleanups for me as well as created one brick porch and rebuilt two others.”

“I hired Great Oaks to design and install my landscape as soon as they renovated my neighbors property and it sold for 10% more then its asking price. They are so helpful and respectful. They took the time to educate me about what they were planning, installing, the process, and just about landscape architecture in general. I learned so much from them and they created a breathtaking outdoor living space which I use everyday. It made my house something I was proud to show off. I now have friends and family over because they turned my backyard into a entertaining living area which is simply beautiful and I can fit 3 times as many people as I used to be able too. I Never could have imagined a big landscaping company woud care so much about 1 individual homeowner but they really do. They still contact me to make sure it's still as perfect as the day it was installed.”

“I originally contacted Karleen Shafer to help me with a design for my small backyard, which was used for parking, and completely overgrown with weeds and concrete debris from a torn down garage. Knowing nothing about landscaping or planting, Karleen provided me with two designs and photos of plantings that would work well for an inexperienced gardner. She was attentive to my requirements: a space to park two cars, a patio for entertaining, space for a gas grill, something aesthetically pleasing, and plantings that would be easy for me to maintain. I was so happy with the final design that I also had Karleen and her crew do the installation. This was a late fall installation, and her crew worked around rainy and cold weather to complete the project. She and her crew were respectful and trustworthy. The final layout was beautiful - a flagstone patio for entertaining, a gravel pathway to the tool shed, and a variety of tall grasses, bushes and plants integrated with the hardscaping. I received tons of compliments from family, friends, and neighbors! It was a total transformation and I have enjoyed entertaining and maintaining it for several years now. Karleen stayed in touch after the installation, making sure to educate me on preparing for the cold months (e.g., cutting the grasses back) and what to do in the Spring. All-in-all, an excellent investment with an excellent company with a friendly, hands-on and committed group of landscape professionals! Would hire this company again in a heart beat!

“Cindy did a beautiful landscape design for my front and back yard, including two rain gardens. She was a delight to work with, reasonably priced, and very knowledgable about plants and worked within my budget. She also recommended some excellent landscaping services and a tree surgeon. I regularly get compliments from my neighbors on my beautiful yard.”

“We hired Daryl Toby and AguaFina to do our landscape architecture in preparation for a wedding we were having at our home. Their staff was friendly and knowledgable and were able to incorporate many of the ideas we were looking for. They also incorporate many of the native plants that we already had on site to cut down on costs. In addition, Daryl treated the project with a meticulous attention to detail and demanded excellence. This was a beautifully implemented project and led to a wonderful June wedding.”

“Landforms came in and revamped our current landscape design; removed some older plants with newer deer resistant ones. Very professional, timely, with excellent ideas.”

“Antonelli completed both backyard and front yard landscaping. It included a retaining wall with concrete tile pavers around our pool in the backyard, a paver walkway from the driveway to the backyard, a new front entrance paver patio, new landscaping pavers outlining the front of our home, landscaping stones, and planting of trees along both side yards as well. Jim was extremely friendly, helpful, and accommodating. His workers were consistently on time and respectful of our property and our neighbors property. Their skillmanship showed through in their work. Any concerns or questions we had, Jim was always able to answer them in a timely manner. I would highly recommend his work to others. It has transformed our home and our backyard into something we never imagined could be possible. His motto is "outdoor impressions" and he truly delivered that.”

“It was such a great pleasure working with Kari on this project - with simply stunning results. We started early on with Kari's 3-D digital modelling of her vision for the site, as well as reference photos for the stone components. We worked through a number of options for the dimensions and ultimate visual effect of the wall, column, and water feature stone cladding, working in concert with the lead stone mason from the installation company (Houston Landscapes), Kari (who maintained the communication with the client), and our stone supply options. As a relatively small install, the stone order needed to complete the job perfectly, with minimal overage ordered to avoid extraneous costs, while still ensuring adequate materials were on site. This required detailed planning of each type of stone piece; we built a flexible, visual reference model in MS Excel to detail the precise layout of the wall, column and water feature pieces before ordering these custom items. As you can see, the transformation of this space is exceptional. The client is thrilled. Throughout the entire process I found Kari to be extremely professional, available and responsive, detail-oriented, and all the while very personable and flexible within the boundaries of her and her client's vision. I look forward to the next time we can work on a project together, and would recommend Kari's services to any client.”

“Exigent Landscaping constructed beautiful side steps for my home a couple years ago. They did an amazing job. They listened to me and customized my steps exactly how I wanted them and even installed some ledge lights that automatically come on at night. I couldn’t recommend them enough, very professional.”
