Landscaping is much more than just adding plants. It also includes structures, hardscapes, stonework. From decorative to add beauty to functional such as retaining walls, adding hardscaped areas to your yard is a great way to add value and purpose. We can create space where you can set up furniture, have an outdoor kitchen or firepit. Hardscaping will increase the functionality of your outdoor living.
How your space functions is key, but you also want to look out at your yard and be proud of what you see. We soften the area using plant material such as shrubs, trees, plants and more. We will design something that is unique for your wants and needs
Serenity Landscaping LLC takes a fresh approach with each and every project we design and build. We put thought into the little details that will make your yard stand out.
No matter what you have in mind for your home, we would love to bring your yard to life.
Your outdoor firepit can be enjoyed both day and night from early spring to late fall in northern Michigan. You will want to linger in the garden and enjoy the warmth of the fire as the evening chill starts.
A fire pit works well in an open area that is naturally protected from wind. Fire pits require a large cleared area because there is no firebox or chimney to contain errant sparks picked up by the wind.
A firepit’s design can be anything from rustic to an elegant raised style and can accommodate a bigger crowd. Seating around a fire makes for easy interaction across the campfire.
Whether your firepit is part of a patio or stand alone our custom built pits make the perfect outdoor centerpiece for entertaining and keeping warm.
There are three basic styles in patio design, organic, casual and formal. Organic is where your outdoor space blends in with the environment for a more natural look. Casual is more clean and defined, yet has room for an unexpected surprise. Formal is tailored and very symmetrical with clean lines.
We can incorporate seating, raised planting beds, and more providing a central hub for enjoying time with family and friends outdoors.
There are many flooring options to choose from including brick, pavers and stone. Create a complete outdoor living space the whole family will love.
These are great starting points for your design, we will take your ideas and create a space that is all your own.
A retaining wall can be as simple or as detailed as you would like. It can provide an attractive upgrade to your landscaping or be a part of the foundation for your outdoor space.
Retaining walls are used to hold soil back, protecting your property from erosion, or may be used to ease steep slopes. They can carve out an area for raised planting beds that border a walkway or patio. You can also use walls to create an outdoor “floor plan”. Creating a defined space for your patio with borders that can contain planting beds or be used as seating for guests.
Adding more natural walls to define your space can help to blend features such as landscaping, firepits, walkways and seating. The contrast of stone and lawn can be a bold and impressive view that compliments your home. Plus the added benefit of being low maintenance!
Steps and walkways like retaining walls can address transitional levels on your property. They may be used to access your home from your patio or driveway. You may also use steps to make walking down a steep slope easier and safer.
Steps along with walkways will guide your guests to a destination. Maybe down to a lake or around the house to a beautiful patio with a firepit. A natural walkway that lets you get to and move around your gardens so you can more fully enjoy them. Maybe add a small patio in a secret garden area. The possibilities are endless!
While the key purpose of steps if to serve a purpose, they can be an attractive addition. Your steps can look beautiful while still getting you where you need to go.
