We didn’t have a clear vision, but Lynn and Alex quickly put together a stunning hardscape and landscape design that we instantly fell in love with. Their expertise in creating custom design truly shines through in every detail. The installation process was flawless, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Can't wait for our Phase II backyard installation next spring! **Comment from Four Seasons Garden Center & Custom Landscape:** > Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that you and your husband are enjoying your transformed outdoor space. It was a pleasure working with you to bring Lynn and Alex’s design expertise to life, and we’re so glad you loved the result. > > Hearing how much you appreciated the process and details means the world to us—our team takes great pride in creating custom designs that exceed expectations. We can’t wait to continue the journey with you and bring your Phase II backyard installation to life next spring! **★★★★★ — HU-672782662, Aug. 2024** > We had used Alex and Four Seasons to complete our yard after a house rennovation. It required a very extensive rebuild and redesign of our front and backyard. The whole process was very fun and everything came out exactly as expected. The pricing was fair and upheld. The team was very hard-working and we were updated every step of the way. Instructions are very clear on maintenance afterwards and would recommend Four Seasons to anyone. **Comment from Four Seasons Garden Center & Custom Landscape:** > Thank you for leaving us a review. We also had fun working with you throughout the entire process. We appreciate you taking time to leave your review. We will be sharing your feedback with our team. We hope you enjoy your summer and we look forward to working with you again soon. **★★★★★ — jenniw11, Dec. 2023** > Glen and his team are always helpful responsible and pay attention to detail which makes the entire project run well - proper scope, renderings allow for great visibility and fine tuning and the scope is clearly turned into a detailed project plan that allows you to see a timeline for the work. Their attention to detail mixed with expansive creativity results in beautifully designed spaces. Highly recommend. **★★★★★ — tegt24, Dec. 2023** > I can’t thank the team at Four Seasons enough. From design to implementation each step in the process was well organized and felt seamless. It is so impressive to see the pride and heart that every employee shares. **★★★★★ — The Celtic Company, LLC, Dec. 2023** > Glen and his team at Four Seasons are THE BEST. Highly recommended! Friendly, knowledgeable, responsive and professional. You can’t go wrong with Four Seasons. **★★★★★ — Mariane C, Dec. 2023** > Alex was efficient and very quick when putting together our winter/Christmas pot. She seemed to very much enjoying doing it very much and we are very pleased with it. Thank you! **★★★★★ — Pam B, Oct. 2023** > Four Seasons has been our landscape choice for many years. Our entire property has been enhanced over a period of time, and each new phase blends seamlessly with the existing. Aside from redesign of our entire landscape, Four Seasons designed and installed a new front porch, front walk, and a paver walkway to our rear entrance. Beyond the completion of each of these projects, they continue to maintain our property to keep the installation looking beautiful through all the seasons. The crews are absolutely the best: expert craftsmen, genuinely nice people that go the extra mile to make it a good experience. **Comment from Four Seasons Garden Center & Custom Landscape:** > Thank you for the kind review. We have loved working with you through the years to transform your property. It is our pleasure to maintain your property to keep it looking it's best. We truly appreciate and value you as returning client. **★★★★★ — Charles Witt, Oct. 2022** > Brandon and the Four Seasons team did a stellar job on our backyard trees and shrubs. Similar to many reviewers on this page, we had little to no botany knowledge or landscape design ability. We had done some landscaping on our own, but couldn't quite get the look and functionality out of our yard we were going for. Brandon came in with a down-to-earth approach, listened, and understood what we wanted. He then patiently explained some excellent ideas he had on the spot. The specific plants and designs he came up with were original, functional, and accomplished all of our goals. We had lots of questions about maintenance, cost, seasonal changes, warranty, transplanting existing plants, and on and on. Brandon patiently and thoroughly answered each of these questions and built trust by following up promptly with calls and emails. Then when it came time to start the work, the Four Seasons crew started and finished on time despite some truly awful weather conditions. It's been a few days since they've wrapped up and we are 100% satisfied with the plants, the workmanship, design, and follow-up customer care we've received here. For those reasons, I would recommend Four Seasons to anyone looking for landscape design and installation services. Thank you to Brandon and the crew members who worked hard to make our backyard our favorite part of our home. **★★★★★ — HU-914230643, Oct. 2022** > Brandon did an excellent job for us designing. We are not knowledgeable, and so left the selection and design to him, and he did a great job with design and explaining things to us. The crew was prompt and thorough, and cleaned up thoroughly each day. We had this done rather late in the season, and look forward to seeing it in the spring. > > Tim Baughman **Comment from Four Seasons Garden Center & Custom Landscape:** > Tim, > > Thank you so much for your kind words. We love hearing from our clients about their projects. We will be sharing your review with Brandon and the crew. We will be in touch in the spring to ensure everything is still looking great. > > We look forward to working together again soon. **★★★★★ — HU-887925425, Aug. 2022** > Years ago I had Four Seasons redo my plantings and this year I thought it was time to update. I contacted Four Seasons and Brandon became my designer. I only told him where I wanted worked done and left the plant selection and placement to him. I couldn’t be happier. I’ll have more color and privacy with more more variety than I could have imagined.!! Brandon was always prompt with appointments and when we met he was well prepared. > I can’t say enough about the crew that removed the existing shrubs and bushes, very thorough and left no mess. Also, the 2 man crew that did the install worked like slaves in the rain and heat. Every time they dug a hole they had to contend with roots. I didn’t envy them. So far all the plants are thriving!! > I highly recommend Four Seasons with Five stars!! > I **Comment from Four Seasons Garden Center & Custom Landscape:** > We are so glad you are happy with your landscape! Thank you for the kind words. I'll be sure to share your comments with everyone involved in making your project a success. **★★★★★ — HU-530727990, Aug. 2022** > We have been working with Four Seasons for the past three years and our experience has been nothing short of spectacular. > > We first contacted them to create a natural barrier between our backyard and the neighboring property. The design they came up with was absolutely beautiful! We continued to work with them in the last couple of years for yard maintenance and they have delivered every time with professional service. > > This year we decided to update our front yard and Brandon came through with a beautiful design that incorporated the existing plants that we wanted to keep with new suggestions that we never thought of. The resulting design was another design that we absolutely love! We would highly recommend Four Seasons. They are highly professional and listen to their clients wants and needs. > > We will continue to use Four Seasons for our future landscaping projects. **Comment from Four Seasons Garden Center & Custom Landscape:** > We are so happy you love the new changes to your landscape! We appreciate and value you as a long term client. Thank you for continuing to trust us with all your landscape needs. **★★★★★ — HU-60737126, July 2022** > I hired Four Seasons to take a boring backyard and make it into a much more desirable outdoor living space. I met with Brandon in advance and was so impressed with how he took the time to listen to what I ideally wanted and how I would use the space. By doing this he was able to help come up with ideas I hadn't even thought of. When the time came for installation, Brandon and his crew were awesome. The crew showed up on-time every morning of the 2-week project, was so respectful of my lawn and my neighbors bordering lawns. They worked their tails off in the extreme heat and got done a couple of days ahead of schedule. Brandon then came out and did a thorough walk-through with me to make sure I was happy and gave me a lot of resources and advice on how to maintain the landscaping and new outdoor space. I have already booked them to do some additional landscaping work in the Spring. Hire them! They are fantastic to work with! **Comment from Four Seasons Garden Center & Custom Landscape:** > We are so glad you are in love with your landscape! We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback about the team. We are looking forward to helping you in the Spring. ## Selected projects - [Berkley, MI - A Cottage in the City](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/berkley-mi-a-cottage-in-the-city-pj-vj~7385578) - Location: Berkley, MI - Photos: 4 - Description: This project was full of surprises!

We started the project in early winter, which caused some challenges for the crew. We had… - [Bloomfield Hills, MI - Poolside Paradise](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bloomfield-hills-mi-poolside-paradise-pj-vj~7198018) - Location: Bloomfield Hills, MI - Photos: 4 - Description: This project was for a returning client who moved into a larger home in Bloomfield Hills.

This West Bloomfield project had two main priorities: update the front porch, which was starting to sag and become unsafe for their family. Second, provide more privacy to their home on a busy main road. The porch and landing were designed using Thermal Bluestone to match the classic look of their house. Classic plants like Green Velvet Boxwood, Dwarf Korean Lilac and Incrediball Hydrangeas now surround the wal… - [Bloomfield Hills, MI - Total Transformation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bloomfield-hills-mi-total-transformation-pj-vj~7165344) - Location: Bloomfield Hills, MI - Photos: 4 - Description: Our clients came to us with dreams of turning their Bloomfield Hills backyard into a more functional space for their family. The yard already had a patio which had become outdated and needed to meet their desire to host more outdoor dining and bonfires. One of the main challenges of the design was the multiple entries into their home. We were able to design a functional bi-level patio with two separate entrances, each with a dedicated landing. The two levels were connected with Raffinato Steps f… - [Bingham Farms, MI - A Tranquil Backyard](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bingham-farms-mi-a-tranquil-backyard-pj-vj~7413294) - Location: Bingham Farms, MI - Photos: 5 - Description: This project was a complete backyard transformation. The entire backyard was an empty, blank space before our installation. The clients dreamed of creating a tranquil backyard inspired by Australia, which their family could enjoy while addressing privacy and drainage concerns. Senior Designer and Project Manager Lynn Cavanaugh was up for the challenge.

With two young children and a small dog, they were looking to turn their backyard into a private and functional outdoor living space. Their wish list included seasonal color in the landscape, a space to relax and watch TV, and a fire pit area to enjoy late summer nights. As Landscape Designer Brandon Opperthauser worked through the design, he imagined cozy courtyards nestled into large city parks. Just… - [True Outdoor Living](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/true-outdoor-living-pj-vj~7263294) - Location: Birmingham, MI - Photos: 4 - Description: This Birmingham project was a collaboration between Senior Landscape Designer Lynn Cavanaugh and longtime Four Seasons clients.

That is what happened on this project. The clients were eager to create an outdoor space that matched their extensive interior renovations.

The backyard had grass and a play structure, and… that was about it. But as a family with growing children they wanted a functional entertainment space. The goal was to create a space that maximized the backyard to accommodate family, friends, and neighbors. The result put the “fun” into functional. The new outdoor room was designed with plenty of cabinet storage, ample space for cooking, dining, and entertaining.

They called us to add shade (and flowers!) and to minimize the copious amount of sand finding its way into the home.

A: I may not have any helpful advice for you. Our client has indicated that it has not been noticed, but admit to usually wearing footwear. **Q: pavers** *(in Photo Questions)* Hi, Are these concrete pavers? What is the stacking stone? What a lovely transformation! Thanks for posting! A: Glad you like this project. The pavers are a Techo-Bloc product called Blu-Grande, Smooth, Greyed Nickel. The wall stone is Canadian Finished. **Q: Smart unique yard design** *(in Photo Questions)* love the understated look and smart design. A: Thank you, Helen! The client asked for a design that would engage his neighbors in this 'walking neighborhood'. The new landscape does just that. A neighbor can walk by and just say hello at the fence, or wander up the walkway to join in conversation on the comfy porch. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
