SERVING THE DOWNRIVER AREA

Landscaping in Dearborn

Properties in Dearborn, particularly south of Michigan Avenue and around the TPC Michigan area, face a constant battle with dense clay subsoils that lead to standing water and drainage issues. In historic districts like West Dearborn and the neighborhoods near the Edison Menlo Park Complex, a towering canopy of mature elms and oaks creates deep shade and aggressive surface roots that can starve traditional lawns.

Whether you are navigating the strict six-inch weed enforcement codes that begin every April or managing the unique "Historic & Well-Kept" aesthetic near Greenfield Village, your outdoor space requires a strategy that respects Dearborn’s legacy and its specific environmental challenges.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Common Questions from Dearborn Residents

How do you handle the heavy clay and standing water issues south of Michigan Avenue?

Dearborn's dense clay drains slowly and compacts easily under foot traffic. While we do not install French drains or specialized rain gardens, our professional Landscape Maintenance includes high-quality Mulching and site grading during Hardscaping projects to help redirect surface water and improve the overall health of your garden beds.


What are the rules for new plantings in the public easement between the sidewalk and curb?

The Dearborn City Code is unique and often requires a permit from the Director of Public Works for new plantings in that easement area. Our Landscape Design team is familiar with these local requirements, ensuring that your ornamental upgrades are compliant and professionally installed to enhance your property's curb appeal.


Can you help me design a landscape that fits the "Craftsman" or "Colonial Revival" style?

Yes. Being the home of Henry Ford, Dearborn values historic architectural styles. We specialize in Landscape Design and Hardscaping that uses traditional lines and classic plant palettes to soften boxy house shapes and complement the "Ford Era" character of your home, whether you are in Geer Park or Anthony Park.


How do I avoid city tickets for grass and weed enforcement?

Dearborn has strict mandates requiring grass to be kept under six inches, with enforcement ramping up in early April. Our regular Landscape Maintenance schedules ensure your lawn, fence lines, and alleys are kept tidy and compliant, saving you from city-issued citations and keeping your neighborhood looking its best.


Do you offer commercial landscaping services for businesses on Telegraph or Schaefer?

Yes, we provide high-visibility Commercial Lawn Care and maintenance for businesses along Dearborn's primary commercial corridors. We understand the need for durable, professional designs that can withstand heavy traffic while adhering to the city's strict landscaping quality guidelines.
