Walkways, Steps and Patios
Old concrete walks and stoops crack and heave. We replace them with paver or natural stone walkways, steps and patios built on a proper base, sized to fit the lot and the style of the house.

Landscaping for Ypsilanti's Older Homes and New Neighborhoods
Ypsilanti has some of the oldest homes in Washtenaw County — houses near downtown and Depot Town with mature trees, narrow side yards and decades-old walks — alongside newer subdivisions in the surrounding township. Each needs a different approach, and the best results come from planning around what is already on the lot.
KBK Landscaping Inc. is a family-owned landscaping company based in Saline, a short drive southwest of Ypsilanti. Family owned since 1998.
Where It Starts
Every Project Starts With a Walk Around Your Yard
Before we put a price on anything in Ypsilanti, we walk the property and look at:
- Mature tree roots, and how much shade the yard really gets
- Soil, sun and shade, and the trees you want to keep
- How you use the yard, and what you want it to do
That visit sets the scope, so the quote reflects the job you actually have.
What We Do
Landscaping Services for Ypsilanti Homes
Whether the yard is a century old or brand new, these are the projects Ypsilanti homeowners hire us for most.
Planting Around Mature Trees
Big old maples and oaks give Ypsilanti streets their character, but they make planting tricky. We design shade beds with shrubs and perennials that tolerate root competition and dry shade, and we work carefully around root zones.
Landscape Design
A plan for the whole yard — front entry, side yards and the back — so each project fits the next. Our own designers draw the plan and our own crews build it.
Lawn Renovation: Sod and Seeding
Thin lawns under trees and worn-out turf get regraded and replaced with sod, hydroseed or straw seed, matched to how much sun the yard gets.
Grading and Drainage
Low spots, wet basements and water running toward the house are common on older lots that have settled over the years. We regrade, add drain tile and move water away from foundations.
Mulch, Soil and Stone
Bulk mulch, topsoil, garden soil and decorative stone, dropped in the driveway for your own project or installed by our crew.
Ypsilanti
Older Lots, Newer Subdivisions
In the city, the work is often renovation: replacing tired walks, opening up overgrown beds and getting water away from older foundations. In the newer neighborhoods around Ypsilanti Township it is usually the opposite — finishing a yard that came with little more than builder sod. Our crews do both, and on larger properties we also handle field mowing. Older Ypsilanti yards often have good bones under the overgrowth — mature trees, old stone or brick edging, established perennials. We keep what is worth keeping and build around it.
Our landscape designers plan it, our crews build the patios and walls, and the same crews do the planting.
Commercial & Municipal
Grounds Care for Ypsilanti Businesses
We also look after commercial and municipal properties in Ypsilanti with commercial lawn care, landscape installation and commercial snow removal, so one contractor handles the property all year.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Landscaping in Ypsilanti
Does KBK Landscaping work with homeowners in Ypsilanti?
Yes — design, planting, patios, walls, lawns and drainage. Mowing and snow removal are for commercial properties only.
Can you work on a small or tight city lot?
Yes. Many Ypsilanti lots near downtown have narrow side yards and limited access. We size equipment to the site, protect lawns and driveways on the way in, and do more by hand where we need to.
Do you remove and replace old concrete walks and steps?
Yes. We can break out old concrete walks, steps and patios and replace them with pavers, natural stone or new concrete.
Can you fix drainage around an older foundation?
Yes. On older lots the ground next to the house often settles until it slopes back toward the foundation. We rebuild the grade so it falls away from the house, extend or bury downspouts, and add drain tile where water collects.
