What is included in your landscape design and installation service?

We handle the full process from planning to final installation. That can include landscape design, plant and shrub installation, mulch and rock beds, edging, grading, retaining walls, paver patios, and other outdoor upgrades that improve curb appeal and function. We build each project around your property, budget, and goals, so you get a landscape that looks good and works for your daily life.

How much does a landscape design and installation project cost?

The cost depends on the size of the space, the materials you choose, site conditions, and how detailed the project is. A simple front bed refresh will cost less than a full backyard makeover with hardscaping. We provide clear estimates and honest recommendations, so you know what to expect before work starts. If you want, we can also help break the project into phases to better fit your budget.

How long will my landscaping project take?

Most timelines depend on the project size, weather, material availability, and site access. Smaller landscape installations may take a few days, while larger projects with retaining walls, patio pavers, or grading can take longer. We stay in touch throughout the job, so you are not left guessing. Reliable communication is a big part of how we work, and we make sure you know the schedule, progress, and any changes right away.

Can you help if I already have an idea but need professional guidance?

Yes. Many customers come to us with inspiration photos, a rough layout, or a few specific goals. We can take those ideas and turn them into a practical plan that fits your yard and your budget. With years of hands-on experience, we can recommend the right layout, materials, drainage solutions, and installation approach to help you avoid costly mistakes.

Do you warranty your work?

Yes. We stand behind our work, especially our hardscape installations like retaining walls and paver patios. Warrantied hardscape work gives our customers extra peace of mind and shows that we take quality seriously. If you have questions about what is covered for your specific project, we will explain it clearly before the job begins.

Landscape Design & Installation | Hansen Lawn and Snow Works

At Hansen Lawn and Snow Works, we build landscapes that look great, work well, and hold up over time. Our landscape design and installation service is for homeowners and property owners in Lowell, MI and the surrounding areas who want more than a quick cleanup or a few plants put in the ground. We create outdoor spaces with purpose. That might mean refreshing old foundation beds, installing a full front-yard landscape, adding new trees and shrubs, improving drainage, or tying together a patio, retaining wall, and planting plan into one clean finished design.

We know that a new landscape is a big investment. It should improve curb appeal, make your property easier to enjoy, and reduce future problems. That is why we take the time to understand how you use your yard, what level of maintenance you want, and what style fits your home. Our goal is simple: give you a landscape that looks natural on your property and performs well through Michigan seasons.

What our landscape design service includes

Our process starts with a conversation on-site. We walk the property with you, listen to what you want to change, and point out opportunities you may not have noticed. We look at grading, drainage, sun exposure, existing plant material, traffic flow, problem areas, and the overall layout of your outdoor space. From there, we help shape a plan that fits your budget and your long-term goals.

Depending on the project, our landscape design and planning may include:

New landscape bed design
Foundation planting layouts
Plant selection for sun, shade, soil, and seasonal interest
Tree and shrub placement for privacy, screening, and balance
Perennial and ornamental grass planning
Mulch, stone, and bed edging options
Drainage corrections and grading considerations
Integration with patios, walkways, and retaining walls
Renovation of overgrown or outdated landscaping
Phased landscape installation plans for larger projects

We do not believe in one-size-fits-all landscaping. Every property is different. Some customers want a clean, low-maintenance look with simple planting beds and fresh mulch. Others want a more complete outdoor upgrade with hardscaping, privacy plantings, decorative stone, and a full redesign. We can build a custom service package around what makes the most sense for your property.

Landscape installation done the right way

A solid design only matters if the installation is done well. We handle the physical work needed to bring the plan to life with attention to prep, layout, and finish quality. That includes removing old materials when needed, preparing beds, setting proper grades, installing plants correctly, and making sure the site looks clean and complete when we are done.

Our landscape installation services can include:

Removal of old shrubs, plant material, and outdated landscape features
Bed reshaping and new bed creation
Soil preparation and amendments as needed
Installation of trees, shrubs, perennials, and ornamental grasses
Mulch installation and decorative stone installation
Landscape edging for clean bed lines
Sod installation or lawn repairs in affected areas
Grading adjustments to improve water flow
Boulder placement and accent features
Landscape renovation around new hardscape projects

We focus on proper spacing, practical plant choices, and a layout that gives your landscape room to grow. A good installation should not just look nice the day we finish. It should still make sense years from now as plants mature and the property changes.

Plant selection for Michigan properties

Choosing the right plants matters. We help customers avoid common mistakes like overcrowding beds, picking plants that outgrow the space, or installing varieties that struggle with local conditions. We select landscape plants based on your property and your goals, not just what looks good in a photo.

When we build a planting plan, we consider:

Sun and shade patterns
Soil conditions and drainage
Mature plant size and shape
Color and seasonal interest
Privacy and screening needs
Low-maintenance preferences
Deer pressure and site exposure when relevant
How the landscape will look with your home and existing features

This helps create a balanced landscape design with structure, texture, and color throughout the year. Whether you want evergreen screening, flowering shrubs, front entry plantings, or simple enhancements to boost curb appeal, we can guide you toward options that fit your property and comfort level for upkeep.

More than planting beds

Many landscape projects are about more than plants alone. We often combine landscape installation with hardscape features to create a finished outdoor space that is both beautiful and functional. If your project calls for it, we can tie your design into retaining walls, paver patios, walkway areas, and transitions around your home. This gives you one team managing the work and a result that feels connected instead of pieced together.

Because Hansen Lawn and Snow Works also installs retaining walls and paver patios, we can plan the softscape and hardscape together from the start. That matters for layout, drainage, traffic flow, and long-term performance. If your property has elevation changes, erosion concerns, or outdoor living goals, we can build a plan that addresses those issues in a practical way. Our hardscape work is warrantied, which gives customers added peace of mind when their landscape project includes structural elements.

Landscape renovation and curb appeal upgrades

Not every job starts from scratch. A lot of our landscape work involves renovating yards that have become overgrown, patchy, outdated, or hard to maintain. If your existing landscape has too many mismatched plants, poor bed lines, failing mulch areas, or drainage issues, we can clean it up and redesign it into something simpler and more attractive.

A landscape renovation may include removing problem shrubs, redefining bed edges, replacing overgrown plantings, adding fresh mulch or stone, updating the layout around the front entrance, and improving weak spots in the lawn or grade. These projects can make a major difference in curb appeal without fully rebuilding the property. We will help you decide what can stay, what should go, and where your budget will have the biggest impact.

Our process and what to expect

We believe customers should know what to expect from the first conversation to final cleanup. Clear communication is one of the things that sets us apart. We show up, explain the work, answer questions clearly, and keep you updated throughout the project. If weather affects the schedule, we communicate. If a project has options, we walk you through them. We want the process to feel organized and professional, not confusing or rushed.

Our typical process includes:

Consultation: We meet at your property, discuss goals, review problem areas, and talk through ideas.
Planning: We develop a design direction and scope of work based on your layout, style, and budget.
Proposal: We provide clear recommendations for installation, materials, plantings, and related improvements.
Scheduling: We coordinate timing and keep you informed about project start dates and any updates.
Installation: We complete the work with attention to site prep, quality, and cleanup.
Final walkthrough: We review the finished project with you and make sure everything is completed as promised.

For larger properties or bigger outdoor improvement plans, we can also help phase the work over time. That allows you to improve your landscape in smart steps while keeping the final vision consistent.

Why homeowners choose us

Customers choose Hansen Lawn and Snow Works because they want a local company that treats their property with care and communicates well. We serve Lowell, MI and nearby communities as a year-round outdoor property service company, and that broad experience helps us understand how landscapes function across all seasons. We know what heavy rain, summer heat, winter snow, and freeze-thaw cycles can do to a yard. That practical knowledge matters when planning grading, drainage, plant placement, and hardscape integration.

We also know that no two customers want the exact same level of service. Some want a low-maintenance landscape they can mostly leave alone. Others want more color, more texture, and more detail. We build custom service packages so you can get the right result without paying for things you do not need.
