These guys work hard! Client had a few areas he would like to see re-worked. The work included extending his driveway, making a cut-thru path to his second garage, revamped an area that was difficult to maintain and spot seeded the yard. Happy client, happy crew. Thanks for the business, Jeff!

New Design:
The client has a new vision of how she would like use her backyard. They bought a beautiful gazebo that they would like placed on a concrete patio. The patio sits in their backyard overlooking a channel and wooded area. This design gives easy access coming from the house or going down to the dock. It also will provide shade and an area for a moveable firepit.

New Design:
Client has done the heavy lifting and removed all of the plants from the front in order to "start fresh". These are the best kind of jobs! Client has beautiful okie-brown stones which she would like to see implemented somewhere in the new design. She also requested the design to be informal with pops of interest year round in the landscape. Our solution was to give her a cottage-style garden with a meandering dry-river bed that will accompany the walk to the front door. This style of landscape will get better with every year as the plants maturate; a very sustainable low maintenance style design.

New Design:
Client would like a "Cottage-Style" landscape for their front entry. She also had a request for an Autumn Blaze Serviceberry to go on the corner of the house which is a gorgeous selection. In cottage design the landscape is meant to be relaxed and informal; many pops of color at different times of the season. In this design, we used boxwoods as the foundational planting up against the house to give the landscape an evergreen backdrop. In the foreground, the cottage style landscape will pop with different colors, texture, sizes and smells. We've attached pictures to help navigate the design.

Project 3:
Dekalb Middle School, Auburn, IN

Program:
This project began back in late spring when Matt Vince contacted me about a potential courtyard project he would like to see happen in 2023. This is a large area on the back side of the Dekalb Middle School that is underutilized now aside from teachers walking through it in the morning. This project was going to run parallel with 5th grade standard that had to do with the design process and sustainable environments. I was fortunate enough to be asked by Mrs. Kennedy and Mr. Gerig to come and speak with the 6th graders about the design process and what to think about when planning out a space which is meant for them. For this project, the students were tasked to design this area with a few things in mind; outdoor classrooms, walking paths, sculptures, seating, etc. The students came up with some incredible ideas that were outside the box. Below is the design presented to the school.

Project 2
Client: Arby's Restaurant in Sturgis, MI

Program:
This project began in early October. The client is converting a Wendy's to an Arby's and would like to be open in early December. It's a fast moving project that is broken down into 3 phases; tree removal, sleeve/irrigation install and landscape improvements. The client would like to keep it as maintenance free as possible and clean bed lines. With the trees being removed, the property is going to be in full sun all day (except for the beds on the north side immediately up against the restaurant. It's been fun watching the progress unfold.

Design:
Starting with the front entrance to the parking lot, we wanted to beautify each side with a few low growing evergreens not to inhibit line-of-sight from vehicles entering and exiting. Also in the front is a new Arby's sign that the client would like to keep "neat" so around the sign will be some low growing evergreens to hide the stanchion. Up by the building there is planned to be a mixture of evergreens and deciduous shrubs with emphasis around the two main entrances.
Now in the back of the property where the drive thru is situated, we approached this area as more of a residential-modelled design with some color, evergreens and plants that give off some good smell. The thought behind this was for people sitting in line to have a clean bed line facing the drive thru line with some variety of plants to help beautify the back of the property and to, for lack of a better term, break up the view from the drive thru line to the coolers and maintenance entrance to the building.

Install:
JD Landscaping out of Sturgis, MI has been contracted to implement all three stages of this project.
Phase 1: Tree removal is completed
Phase 2: Starting on Wednesday (11.9.22.)
Phase 3: Starting immediately after*

Attached are some pictures of the progress. More pictures to be added soon.

Project 1
Client: Wertz Residence
Program:
Ken and Kathy (Mom and Dad) started the renovation of their front yard by reworking the concrete sidewalk leading to the front door. Once that project was completed, it was onto the landscape where Kathy had a few wishes to add to the design such as "bobo hydrangeas and the cute yellow plant at your cousins' house" and to transplant a few of the existing plants into the space.

Design:
Even though it's a relatively small area of their house, the location is the most important. It's located on the north side of the house with some filtered shade in the afternoon. In the design there are mass plantings to cater to vehicular traffic driving by and micro plantings to give guests a garden-like experience walking to the front door. Also added, a river-rock accent band filled with pieces of flagstone to mimic the shape of the concrete sidewalk and to allow access behind the first two layers of plants. To further accent the "inner river rock banding", we decided to create the bed line across the sidewalk as an implied line cutting across the sidewalk to form the stone banding's shape. The contrasting color of the dark mulch and the lighter river rock really helps to break up the ground color.

Installation:
JD Landscaping out of Sturgis, MI did a phenomenal job with the installation. Jose (JD) does a great job with crew management, detail work and timely installations. We had a meeting prior to installation about how this area is supposed to feel. After a quick walkthrough, he could see the "vision" and he was off to the races.

Attached are images from concept to installation.
