COMMON QUESTIONS

Common Questions from Grosse Ile Residents

How do you address the heavy clay and drainage issues on the island?

Grosse Ile’s "Island Clay" often leads to soft spots and water pooling. While we don't install deep underground pipe systems, our professional Landscape Maintenance and precise grading during Hardscaping projects help manage surface water and direct it away from your foundation to protect your home.


Are your landscaping practices safe for the Detroit River?

Absolutely. We recognize that Grosse Ile is part of a sensitive watershed. Our Landscape Maintenance programs are designed to be river-safe, adhering to local environmental guidelines to ensure your lawn stays lush without contributing to harmful algal blooms in the surrounding river system.


Can you design a landscape that withstands local deer and geese?

Yes. Being surrounded by wildlife refuges means high deer pressure. Our Landscape Design service focuses on selecting beautiful, deer-resistant varieties and utilizing layouts that discourage geese from nesting on your lawn, protecting your investment from local wildlife damage.


How do you handle the logistics of getting crews to Grosse Ile?

We are very familiar with the bridge access points on the island. Our team plans for potential bridge delays to ensure we show up on time for your service, whether your property is at the northern tip near Hennepin Point or down by the Municipal Airport.


Do you provide free estimates for waterfront estates and smaller islands?

Yes, we provide free estimates for properties across the main island and satellite islands like Hickory or Swan Island. You can receive your estimate over the phone or via email, allowing for a quick and professional assessment of your landscaping needs.
