We’re excited to share a recent high-end retaining wall and hardscape project we completed for a beautiful Cranbrook new construction home in Commerce Township, Michigan. This project came to us through a referral from another satisfied family whose backyard we transformed.

- Partnered with a professional engineer to create detailed design plans
- Obtained all necessary permits from Commerce Township
