Our landscape design service creates customized outdoor spaces that blend aesthetics with functionality. We collaborate closely with clients to develop plans incorporating hardscapes, plantings, and water features tailored to their property's unique characteristics. Using advanced design software and decades of local experience, we ensure every project enhances curb appeal while meeting practical needs like drainage and seasonal adaptability. Our process includes detailed consultations, material selection guidance, and sustainable planning to deliver lasting value.
Landscape Maintenance
We provide comprehensive seasonal maintenance programs to preserve the beauty and health of your landscape. Services include lawn care, pruning, fertilization, weed control, and winter snow removal. Our team uses eco-friendly practices and premium equipment to maintain vibrant lawns, healthy plantings, and clean hardscapes year-round. With tailored schedules and proactive care, we help clients avoid costly repairs while ensuring their outdoor spaces remain inviting and well-kept across all four Michigan seasons.

Transform your yard into a functional retreat with our outdoor living installations. We design and build patios, walkways, fire features, and outdoor kitchens using durable materials like natural stone and pavers. Our solutions prioritize both aesthetics and usability, creating spaces that withstand Michigan's climate while enhancing property value.

I am incredibly satisfied with this company. The owner, Paul, the office staff and the crew were all great to work with. Im extremely satisfied with the redesign of my landscaping. They put in a paver patio which should be called art because of the design and precision. The lighting looks great and they were very receptive to tweaks I wanted along the way. The crew left a clean, safe worksite each day. I highly recommend!!

We have worked with Al Fresco for lawn care for a few years, but this year we had them help us with a big landscaping project! Wow! Sarah and the team helped us seamlessly design and construct a beautiful staircase and patio. We are so thrilled with the outcome and all of the great customer service!

Paul and his TEAM was able to take our landscape of our home that was built in the 1880's and bring it to current times. My wife was extremely ecstatic with the outcome. The attention to detail is outstanding. We've used Paul and his TEAM on several of our properties and will continue to refer him to friends and colleagues. What these individuals do for the outdoors of homes and corporate settings are masterpieces. If you are looking for the best in season long care and design, give Alfresco a call. You will not regret it.

They did an excellent job redoing our backyard. The pond was enlarged as was the waterfall. They also put in a retaining wall and steps from the gates. My Wife and I were extremely delighted by the work as well as by the knowledge and performance of Jeff and his crew.

Alfresco designed and installed a beautiful Japanese garden on our condo patio. Their work is professional and thorough and everyone on the Alfresco team is positive and knowledgeable. I would recommend Alfresco to anyone seeking a beautiful landscape design and installation. And ... Alfresco continues to maintain the patio - we are happy to have the contract with them as they respond promptly and maintain our patio beautifully.

I am so pleased with our front landscaping designed by Alfresco Landscapes. We left the design and plant choices up to them. They did not disappoint! The variety of plants is amazing and we will have color blooming throughout the summer months. I highly recommend their professional services and kind staff. We had two unhealthy plants that I asked to be replanted in a different location, "no problem."
