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.

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.

We thought we’d share some recent photos of stone work Bob Porter, owner of Landscape Artisan, built when working for a prestigious landscaping company. The projects were designed by designers employed by the company.

The stone work above was done at a job in Franklin, Michigan.
He then did the following stone work at a neighbor’s in Franklin.

The stone work below was completed on a house in Birmingham, Michigan. The home used to belong to Frederick Marshall — the famous Spirit of Detroit sculptor.


The photos below are of a residence also in Birmingham, Michigan:



Now for some photos of a job in Bloomfield Township:

To Adam at HireitDone.com> “Just wanted to let you know that we used your web site for paver repair quotes.
Landscape Artisans got the job from the estimates received and they did a great
job. They showed up when they said they would, worked with us on our budget and
did a great job (including taking care of a few things some might consider
picky, but things that made us ‘totally satisfied.’) Thanks for the web site
referral service. We will use it again and can recommend Landscape Artisans. ” Shelby Township
“We LOVED Landscape Artisan! We hired them after receiving their information
through this great website, and Mark and Chad and the whole crew were just
wonderful. Our patio looks spectacular and we would recommend them highly to
anyone who’ll listen! They came in on time, on budget and the design is
beautiful!! Thanks Adam!! “ Bloomfield Hills, Michigan
And to Service Magic:
“Would you recommend Landscape Artisan, LLC to a friend or colleague? Yes

Describe Your Experience with Landscape Artisan, LLC:
This project far exceeded my greatest expectations. Our backyard was transformed from a no-privacy open space to an enjoyable outdoor living area. Design ideas originally set this company apart from other contractors. We did not have a good idea of what wanted and really liked his original design. Bob was willing to come to our house several times before we committed to him, making minor changes to the design to fit our budget and for additional requests. When the project started, the crew was timely, friendly and worked hard. Most importantly, the craftmanship was first rate. After this experience, I would never use another contractor.” Oxford, Michigan

We just completed this fire pit with a sitting wall in Oxford, Michigan. The customer also chose to install outdoor lighting underneath the seat and each pier will get one light facing the patio.



Patio Before
The inlay was added to enhance an existing patio. Enhancing existing elements is one way to spruce up your landscape while containing costs in a tight economy.

This fire pit is perfect for entertaining, night and day.
Can you imagine having the family and friends over, the kids are
roasting marshmallows (with adult assistance) and the adults are enjoying good food and conversation.
Doesn’t that sound like a wonderful staycation?
