What does a professional planting installation from Legacy Landscape include?

Professional planting installations from Legacy Landscape are designed around the specific conditions of your property, including sun exposure, soil type, drainage, and existing landscape elements, and selected to provide color, texture, and seasonal interest throughout the year. The team works with trees, shrubs, perennials, and flowering plants chosen to thrive in Southeast Michigan's climate. Each installation includes plant placement, proper installation depth, and any bed preparation needed to support long-term growth.

How does Legacy Landscape select plants that will perform in Southeast Michigan?

Plant selection at Legacy Landscape is based on what will actually grow and perform well under Michigan conditions, such as cold-hardy species suited to the region's winters, plants matched to each site's specific light and moisture levels, and selections that provide multi-season visual interest rather than peak-season color followed by die-off. The goal is a planting plan that establishes well, requires manageable ongoing care, and looks intentional year-round rather than just at installation.

Can plantings be added as a standalone service or only as part of a larger landscape project?

Plantings are available both as a standalone service and as part of a larger design and construction project. Homeowners looking to refresh existing beds, add foundation plantings, or install a new landscape area around an existing hardscape can schedule a planting consultation directly. When plantings are part of a full design-build project, they are integrated into the overall design plan and installed as a final phase of construction.

A Planting Company That Designs Before It Digs

Healthy plantings start with plant selection, not planting holes. The team selects trees, shrubs, perennials, and seasonal material suited to Southeast Michigan's climate and your property's specific conditions, then arranges them in beds that complement your home, hardscape, and the overall landscape design.

Whether you need foundation plantings for a new build, privacy screening along a property line, or a full refresh of tired beds, every plan is built around how the landscape will mature over the coming seasons, not just how it looks the week it's installed.

Planting Services for Every Stage of Your Landscape

New planting design and installation — trees, shrubs, perennials, and ornamental grasses selected and placed for long-term health
Foundation and entry plantings — beds that frame your home and strengthen curb appeal
Privacy and screening plantings — living screens around patios, pools, and property lines
Bed renovation — removing overgrown or failing material and replanting with the right species
Seasonal color — annuals and seasonal material that keep beds interesting through the year

Plantings also finish larger projects. New beds are often planned alongside landscape design and construction projects, and completed with mulch, rock, and edging that define the beds and protect the root zones.

Why Plant Selection Matters in Southeast Michigan

Macomb and Oakland County properties deal with clay soils, freeze-thaw winters, and summer heat that punish poorly chosen plants. A planting company that works in these conditions every day knows which species establish well here, where they need protection, and how to space them so beds look full without becoming overgrown in three years.

That local knowledge is the difference between planting services that need constant replacement and a landscape that gets better every season.
