At this residence in Clinton Township, Michigan we designed and installed stone and flagstone and plantings. The stone is Huron Highland and the paths are of flagstone. It is fall now, so the plantings are not as visible.

Landscaping in Oxford, Michigan

Posted by landscapeartisan on November 12, 2009

We built this beachfront retaining wall in Oxford, Michigan using pre-cast concrete block called Versa-Lock. We also installed Unilock Sienna Stone steps leading down to the beach. Unilock Sienna Stone is a pre-cast concrete product. We then installed a brick paver patio using the customer’s existing bricks, and all of these measures increased the customer’s savings on the entire project.
