2. We landscape , therefore we are .

3. When I was a young man, I discovered I had a deep and abiding fascination for the
art of landscaping. This love planted the seeds for a Landscape Architecture
degree, and in 1981, the founding of Great Oaks Landscape Associates, the
company I have devoted my life to for the past three decades.
For almost 30 years now, the company I founded has been creating inspired
outdoor spaces for the area’s most prestigious businesses, as well as exquisite
residential landscapes. I am extremely proud of our reputation as Michigan’s
premier design-build firm and of the dedicated team that brought us to that
level. Our staff’s commitment to excellence is evident in their creativity,
attention to detail and unique approach to design.
I believe that a great landscape is created over time and is always studied,
always perfected until it becomes a true piece of art. The architecture of the
building, the topography of the site, the owner’s personality – all these things
influence a truly integrated landscape design.
Today, Great Oaks is the vanguard of luxuriously landscaped properties.
From conception and design to installation and year-round maintenance,
we are uniquely capable of delivering sophisticated results.
Innovation, artistry and a talented team of professionals have all pioneered
our success. And I thoroughly believe that Great Oaks Landscape continues
to excel because of a shared commitment to a single idea: Creating the most
breathtaking outdoor spaces imaginable.
