Landscape Installation by Our Own Crews

Landscape installation is the part of a project you live with for years: the beds, the trees and shrubs, the mulch and stone, and the grading underneath that decides where water goes. KBK Landscaping Inc. has installed landscapes for homeowners, businesses and municipalities in Saline and across Washtenaw County since 1998.

Kris Krause started the company that year. Today about 25 staff and our own equipment fleet handle installation from site prep through final cleanup.

Call 888-408-0320 or email kris@kbklandscaping.com for a free estimate. We will walk the property with you and put the scope in writing.

What We Do

What Landscape Installation Includes

New Planting Beds

Bed layout, soil prep, edging, planting and a finished layer of mulch. Beds are shaped around the house and the way you use the yard, and sized so they stay manageable once they fill in.

Trees, Shrubs and Perennials

From a single tree to a full privacy screen or foundation planting. Each plant goes in at the right depth, in soil that has been loosened and amended, with room left for how big it will get.

Mulch, Soil and Stone

Bulk mulch, topsoil, garden soil and decorative stone, installed by our crew or delivered for your own project. A fresh, even layer is the quickest way to make established beds look finished again.

Grading and Site Preparation

Land leveling and prep before anything is planted or seeded. Getting the grade right first is what keeps water away from the house and keeps new plantings from sitting in wet ground.

Drainage Solutions

Drain tile, regrading and redirected runoff for yards with standing water, soggy low spots or water heading toward the foundation. We fix the cause rather than planting over the problem.

New Construction Landscaping

Bare, graded lots turned into a finished yard: topsoil, lawn, foundation beds, trees and walkways, as one project or in phases for homes and commercial buildings alike.

Landscape Renovation

Overgrown shrubs and tired beds removed, the soil reworked and new plantings installed. A good option when a yard has outgrown its original landscaping.

New Lawns

Sod, hydroseed or straw seed, put down once the grade and soil are ready. Sod gives you a finished lawn the same day; seeding costs less on larger areas.

Patios, Walks and Retaining Walls

Hardscape built alongside the planting, so the patio, walkway or wall and the beds around it are planned and installed together on a properly prepared base.

Why a Properly Installed Landscape Lasts Longer

Plants That Make It Past the First Summer

Most failed plantings trace back to installation: compacted soil, wrong depth, the wrong plant for the sun. Getting those right at the start is what gets a new landscape through its first Michigan summer and winter.

Water That Goes Where It Should

Grading and drainage come before planting. A yard that sheds water away from the house protects the foundation, the patio and the new beds all at once.

Beds That Stay Clean Longer

Defined edges, the right mulch depth and plants spaced for their mature size mean less weeding and less trimming in the years after the job is done.

One Crew From Site Prep to Cleanup

Our own crews and equipment do the whole installation. No subcontractors and no handoff between the people who grade the yard and the people who plant it.

Lower Costs Over Time

A landscape installed correctly does not need constant correction. Most long-term repair costs come from shortcuts taken during the original install, and we do not take them.

Who We Work With

Installation for Homes, Businesses and Municipalities

KBK Landscaping Inc. is based in Saline and has worked across Southeast Michigan since 1998. Homeowners hire us for new beds, plantings and yard renovations; businesses, developers and municipalities hire us for new construction landscaping and site work.

Installation often starts with a plan from our landscape designers, and it can include patios and retaining walls built by the same crews. We do not offer residential lawn care contracts or residential snow removal; our mowing and snow programs are for commercial properties.

How It Works

How a Landscape Installation Project Runs

A Site Visit and a Free Written Estimate

Every estimate is free. Call 888-408-0320 or email kris@kbklandscaping.com and we will look at the property, scope the work and put it in writing with no obligation. KBK Landscaping Inc. works out of 9685 West Michigan Avenue, Saline, Michigan 48176, United States.

Grading and Soil Prep Come First

We set the grade, fix drainage and prepare the soil before anything goes in. Our crews know how local clay soil behaves, from planting beds to new lawn establishment.

Planting, Mulch and Finishing Work

Trees, shrubs and perennials go in, beds are edged and mulched, and any stone or walkways are finished so the whole yard reads as one project.

Cleanup and Guaranteed Work

We clean up when the job is done, and all work is fully guaranteed. The same crew is easy to reach if anything needs attention after the install.

Answers

Landscape Installation Questions

What does landscape installation include?

It covers everything that goes into the ground: bed layout and soil prep, trees, shrubs and perennials, mulch and stone, grading and drainage, and new lawns. Patios, walks and retaining walls can be installed as part of the same project.

Do you install landscapes for homeowners?

Yes. We install landscapes for homeowners as well as commercial and municipal properties. We do not offer residential lawn care maintenance programs or residential snow removal.

Can you plant a single tree?

Yes. Single tree installation is one of our services, along with full plantings and privacy screens.

Do you landscape new construction in Washtenaw County?

Yes. On new construction we grade, add topsoil, put in the lawn and install foundation beds and trees, either all at once or in phases.

Do you handle grading and drainage before planting?

Yes. We correct the grade, install drain tile where it is needed and redirect runoff before anything is planted, so the new landscape is not sitting in wet ground.
