KBK Landscaping Inc.
KBK Landscaping Inc. has been delivering hardscaping in Ann Arbor and Saline, MI for residential homeowners, commercial property managers, and municipal clients since 1998. Structural outdoor features built to the right standard perform for decades. Built to the wrong one, they fail on a predictable schedule and cost significantly more to correct than they would have to build correctly the first time.
Over 25 years, Kris Krause built this company into a 25-person operation by applying that standard consistently across every project. The same approach runs every hardscaping job we take on today.

What We Do
Custom hardscape patio construction using pavers, natural stone, and concrete designed to complement the surrounding landscape and hold up through Michigan's freeze-thaw cycles. A patio that shifts, cracks, or settles within a few seasons is almost always a base preparation failure, not a material failure. We build the foundation correctly so the surface stays level and stable long-term.
Precision hardscape pavers installation for patios, walkways, pool surrounds, and commercial plazas. Pavers offer flexibility that poured surfaces do not, and they are easier to repair without disturbing the surrounding installation when issues arise. The key is proper bedding, edge restraint, and joint material. Done right, a paver surface outlasts most alternatives.
Natural and manufactured hardscape stone used for accent walls, garden borders, steps, and decorative structural features. Stone work requires an installer who understands how material behaves over time, particularly through repeated Michigan freeze-thaw cycles. We select and place stone with that long-term performance in mind.
Engineered retaining walls designed to manage elevation changes, control erosion, and protect surrounding landscape installations. Retaining walls carry structural loads. This is usually where people run into problems, treating a retaining wall like a decorative feature and under-building the base and drainage components. We engineer them to hold.
Poured and finished concrete hardscape for driveways, walkways, pads, and structural outdoor surfaces where a monolithic installation is the right fit for the application. Concrete hardscape installed with proper subbase preparation, control joint placement, and finish grade holds up reliably in commercial and residential settings alike.
Keystone hardscape products and segmental retaining wall systems used for structurally sound retaining applications, raised planting beds, and tiered landscape features. These systems are engineered for specific load ratings and installation requirements. We follow manufacturer specifications and site engineering requirements on every application.
Walkway and path hardscape installation connecting building entries, landscape areas, and outdoor use zones on residential and commercial properties. A well-placed path does more than provide access. It organizes how a property gets used and directs traffic away from turf and planting areas that would otherwise take the wear.
Commercial-grade patios and hardscapes for office campuses, retail properties, hospitality sites, and municipal outdoor areas. Commercial hardscape installations carry higher foot traffic loads and operate under greater public scrutiny than residential ones. We spec and build accordingly.
Hardscaped steps and stairways connecting grade changes on residential and commercial sites. Structural integrity and slip resistance are the priorities. Decorative quality follows from getting those fundamentals right, not the other way around.
Professional hardscaping installation built on properly prepared bases and correctly specified materials performs for decades without the settlement, cracking, or drainage failures that characterize shortcuts. The investment in quality up front pays for itself many times over compared to the cost of premature repair or replacement.
Hardscape stone walls, retaining structures, and properly graded paved surfaces manage how water moves across a property. Integrated drainage planning within a hardscape design prevents the runoff and erosion damage that poorly planned outdoor structures often create rather than prevent.
A hardscape patio, walkway system, or commercial plaza transforms underutilized outdoor areas into functional environments that get used. For residential clients, that means more livable outdoor space. For commercial properties, it means outdoor areas that contribute to the property's appeal and usability rather than sitting as maintenance burdens.
Well-executed patios and hardscapes represent one of the highest-return property investments available for both residential and commercial sites. Structural outdoor features installed by qualified hardscape contractors add measurable appraised value and immediate visual impact that landscaping alone cannot deliver.
Hardscape pavers, concrete hardscape, and hardscape stone require significantly less ongoing maintenance than equivalent turf or planting areas. For commercial property managers dealing with high-traffic zones, hardscaped surfaces reduce both labor requirements and long-term replacement costs.
