The firm · Our story
Fifty years of doing this in these soils.
Quality Landscape, Inc. has been a locally owned landscape company in the Greater Lansing area since 1972. Over that time we have completed more than a thousand projects across mid-Michigan — and the know-how that comes out of five decades is the thing that actually saves our customers money.
It is knowing which plant will still be alive in ten years in mid-Michigan clay. It is knowing how deep the base has to go so a patio survives the freeze-thaw. It is showing up when we said we would, and finishing one project before starting another. Those are not slogans here, they are the reasons people call us back.
We offer discounts to military members, veterans, senior citizens, and first responders — and we consult every month of the year, not just in April.
The details are the beautyA bed line cut with a confident curve, a walk that meets the step square, a plant sized for what it becomes. That is where a landscape is won.

The work · What we do
Design, build, plant, and keep.
14 services across four disciplines. One company draws the plan, installs it, and comes back to look after it.
Landscape Design
Measured, drawn, and talked through before anything is installed. Consultations run all twelve months of the year.
Award-winning · drawn to scale
Landscape Design
Measured drawings and a planting plan built around your house, your soil, and how you actually use the yard — not a catalogue layout.
January to DecemberYear-Round Consultations
We sit down with homeowners in every month of the year — including the ones when nothing is growing and the schedule is still wide open.
Planting & Lawns
Trees, shrubs, perennials, lawns, and beds — installed by people whose expertise is horticulture, not just labour.
Design built · start to finish
Landscape Installation
The full build — beds, plantings, grading, sod, mulch, and hardscape — installed by our own crew, one project at a time.
Horticultural standardsTree & Shrub Planting
The right species, in the right place, planted at the right depth — the three things that decide whether a tree is alive in ten years.
Seeding · sodding · topsoilLawn Restoration, Seed & Sod
Rebuilding lawns that construction, drainage, or shade wore out — topsoil, grade, and then seed or sod depending on the site.
Bed creation · edgingMulch & Planting Beds
New beds cut, edged, and mulched — the lines that make a front yard read as designed instead of accumulated.
Four-season interestPerennial Plantings
Perennial and ornamental grass borders composed so something is doing the work in every month, not just in June.
Hardscaping
Patios, walks, walls, and fire features built on the base and drainage that a Michigan freeze-thaw cycle demands.
Belgard · Unilock
Paver Patios & Walkways
Patios, walks, and driveways built on a proper compacted base — the part nobody sees and the only part that decides whether it stays flat.
Engineered · drainedRetaining Walls
Segmental and natural stone walls built with the drainage and reinforcement the soil load actually requires.
Seat walls · pergolasFire Pits & Outdoor Living
Fire pits, seat walls, pergolas, and the patio that ties them together into a room you will actually use.
Drainage · contouringLight Excavation & Grading
Regrading, contouring, and drainage correction — moving water away from a house before it becomes the expensive kind of problem.
Property Care
Seasonal clean-ups, ongoing maintenance, and snow removal, so one company carries the property all year.
Seasonal reset
Spring & Fall Clean-Ups
The two visits that decide how a landscape looks the rest of the year — bed cut-back, leaf clearing, and mulch refresh.
One crew · all seasonComplete Exterior Maintenance
Ongoing care for properties that want one company responsible for the whole exterior instead of four different trucks.
Residential · commercialSnow & Ice Removal
Winter clearing for driveways, lots, and walks — the other half of a year-round property agreement.
The process · How we work
Four steps. No surprises.
The design
Scaled drawings and a planting plan, worked through with you and revised until it is right. Then a proposal, when we promised it.
The installation
Our own crew, on your project, until your project is finished. We do not run four jobs at once and we do not disappear for a week.
The warranty
A 1-year labor and material warranty, and a company that has been at the same address since 1972 to honour it.
Commercial · Public works
MSU. Potter Park Zoo. The East Lansing trail system.
Fifty years in one region means our work is not only in back yards. We have installed landscapes for Michigan State University and Central Michigan University, Flint Bishop Airport, Potter Park Zoo, the Lansing Veterans Memorial, the Delta Township Streetscape, and the 1.2-mile East Lansing trail system.
If you have walked mid-Michigan, you have probably walked through something we built.
Recent work · From our own files
Photographs of jobs, not a stock library.
Every image on this site is a Quality Landscape project in mid-Michigan. No stock photography anywhere.
How a walk gets built
The part that decides whether it stays flat.
Three of our own job-site photographs. Every failed paver surface in Michigan failed underneath, in the two steps nobody photographs.
Down to depth, then aggregate base compacted in lifts. Skip a lift and the freeze-thaw finds it.
A screeded bedding course, then units set by hand to the pattern and cut to the bed lines.
Edge restraint, joint sand, compaction — then the beds go in around it and it looks like it grew there.
In their words
What our customers say.
Three reviews the client published themselves, quoted as written. We have not aggregated them into a star rating we cannot verify.
“It’s rare to be this satisfied with a contractor’s work and we’ve dealt with dozens, from OK to terrible. Never have we encountered such a professional, dedicated, precise and honest firm. Our property and lawns were decimated due to construction — over 18,000 square feet of topsoil, sod and mulch went back in, and the new retaining wall is a work of art. Everything they promised, from job visits, proposal, work, and timing were accomplished.”
“Everyone was great. They completely re-landscaped my yard. All the guys were professional and nice. They did a wonderful job rescuing some of the plants I had while adding to it to create a new look. I couldn’t be happier.”
“Very pleased with the work the team at Quality Landscape has done on our yard. They’re hard-working, respectful, and get the job done right. Highly recommend them for any of your landscaping jobs.”

Mid-Michigan sits in USDA zone 6a. The last frost usually lands in the first half of May and the first one arrives in early October, which is what actually sets this schedule.

Four things that do not flex
Why customers in the Greater Lansing area call us back.
When we say a salesman will be at your home this week, he is. When we say a proposal comes Friday, it comes Friday. It sounds like a low bar. Ask anyone who has hired a contractor.
We complete our projects one at a time, with no delays. Your job is not a place we park a crew for three days between other people’s jobs.
We are members of the Michigan Nursery & Landscape Association because plants are the trade, not just the material. Right species, right place, right depth.
A 1-year labor and material warranty from a company that has been at the same East Lansing address since 1972. There is nowhere for us to go.

FAQ
Quick answers before you call.
How long has Quality Landscape been in business?
Since 1972 — over fifty years, from the same East Lansing address. In that time we have completed more than a thousand landscape projects across mid-Michigan, from single front yards to the full 60-acre Player’s Club Golf Course.
What areas do you serve?
the Greater Lansing area and the surrounding mid-Michigan counties — 41 communities across Ingham, Eaton, Clinton, Shiawassee, and Ionia counties. That covers Lansing, East Lansing, Okemos, Haslett, Grand Ledge, DeWitt, Mason, Holt, Charlotte, St. Johns, Williamston, and more. Call to confirm your address.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes. Every completed project carries a 1-year labor and material warranty. It is one of the reasons customers come back to us for their second and third project rather than shopping the job again.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Quality Landscape, Inc. holds Michigan Builder’s License No. 2101061940 and is fully insured. We are members of the Michigan Nursery & Landscape Association and the Capital Area Landscape & Nurseryman’s Association.
Do you take on small residential projects, or only large ones?
Both. We handle projects of every size, from a single front bed to million-dollar commercial ventures. The same crew, the same standards, and the same warranty apply to a mulch refresh as to a 60-acre golf course.
When should I call to schedule work?
Any month. We hold consultations year-round, which is genuinely unusual in this trade — most Lansing-area companies only want to talk in April. A winter consultation gets your design finished, your price fixed, and your spot on the spring calendar before the rush starts.
Do you offer any discounts?
Yes — we offer discounts to military members, veterans, senior citizens, and first responders. Mention it when you call and we will apply it to your estimate.
Do you handle snow removal in the winter?
Yes, residential and commercial. It lets a property stay with one contractor for all twelve months instead of handing the keys to somebody new every November. Winter routes are set in the fall, so call early.
