Custom Landscape Design
in Huntington Woods

The cost is determined by your project’s scope. Factors include area size, site condition, plant and material choices, grading, drainage, and overall complexity. Most professionally designed and installed landscape projects start around $10,000, though the final investment depends on the size of the space and the elements included in the design.

Every Four Seasons project starts with an on-site consultation. Your designer walks your Huntington Woods property, discusses your ideas, and develops a plan that covers design, elements, plants, products, cost, timeline, and maintenance. You receive a detailed proposal with clear pricing before work begins.

The timeline depends on the project scope. A single planting area may take a few days, while full-property designs with major features require several weeks.

Some Huntington Woods homeowners phase larger or complex projects. Before starting, your designer reviews the full plan and timeline with you.

Every landscape design project follows the same four-step process: Consult, Design, Install, and Maintain.

Your designer meets you on-site, discusses your needs, and creates a custom plan for your home. You review all details together before finalizing.

With an approved plan, our crews install everything with your designer overseeing the whole project. After, we offer maintenance to protect your investment.

A landscape architect is a licensed professional who has earned a degree in landscape architecture and passed a national exam. Landscape architects focus on the technical aspects of outdoor projects, including drainage, grading, and site analysis, and are the right choice for projects that involve complex planning or significant site work.

A landscape designer brings a complementary strength. Designers focus on creative layout, planting plans, and visual impact. Training varies widely, but a professional landscape designer may have a greater understanding of horticulture. Designers tend to specialize in residential work, such as patios, gardens, and outdoor living spaces, and work hand in hand with installation crews to bring your vision to life.

At Four Seasons, you get both. Our in-house landscape architect, Alexandra Hossfeld, works alongside our experienced landscape designers, so your project benefits from licensed technical expertise and hands-on horticultural knowledge in the same team.

Whether your project calls for complex grading and site engineering or a focused planting design, the right expertise is under one roof from consultation through installation.

Michigan’s climate calls for careful plant and material choices based on sun, soil, drainage, and microclimate.

Four Seasons selects plants proven to perform in Southeast Michigan, including native perennials and ornamental grasses, shade trees, and evergreen screening. For hardscape elements within your landscape design, we use premium materials including Techo-Bloc pavers and engineered wall systems, chosen for their long-term durability in this climate.

Your landscape designer evaluates your property’s specific conditions during the consultation and develops a plant and material plan that thrives here, not just survives.

In Huntington Woods, most planting does not need a permit. Taller retaining walls, major grading, drainage, tree removal, or proximity to property lines may require permits for review.

Your landscape designer will determine whether permits are needed for your project. If they are, we manage the application and approval process for you, confirming all paperwork is ready before work begins.

Yes. Four Seasons designs and installs your project with the same team overseeing every detail.

Design-build ensures design intent carries through to the finished project so everything works together as planned.

Our crews work for Four Seasons. For specialties like electrical, we use licensed contractors who meet our standards.

Most landscape installations run from late spring to early winter. Design can start earlier. Early consultations help secure your preferred start date when the season opens.

Michigan’s build season is shorter than most of the country, and schedules fill up fast. Homeowners who reach out early tend to get their preferred start dates. If you are thinking about this year, it is worth starting the conversation sooner rather than later. We will walk your property and figure out what makes sense for your timeline.
