Royal Oak Landscape Overhaul & Four-Season Landscape Design

This complete landscape overhaul in Royal Oak, Michigan, was completed approximately four years ago and continues to thrive through ongoing maintenance and seasonal care. The project was designed to create a balanced outdoor environment with strong visual appeal, functional hardscaping, and year-round landscaping interest.

At Grow Garden and Landscape Design, our goal was to transform the property into a polished and low-maintenance landscape that would mature beautifully over time. Today, the landscape continues to develop naturally, with healthy plant growth and a well-established design that enhances curb appeal and outdoor enjoyment.

Royal Oak Landscape Design Transformation

This project involved a complete redesign of the property’s outdoor space to improve aesthetics, structure, and long-term functionality. The landscape was carefully planned to provide a clean layout with strong focal points and plant varieties that offer color and texture throughout every season.

One of the main features of the project is a Copthorne Unilock paver walkway that creates a timeless pathway leading through the landscape. The walkway was installed with an angular step design to add visual character and improve accessibility.

To create a standout focal area, Spanish-style decorative tile was installed around a Japanese maple, helping define the planting bed while adding a unique design detail. The surrounding landscape includes carefully selected ornamental grasses and evergreen plantings that complement the overall aesthetic.

Featured Landscape Elements

Copthorne Unilock Paver Walkway

The paver walkway was installed using Copthorne Unilock pavers, chosen for their classic appearance and durability. This hardscape feature enhances the property’s functionality while adding texture and visual depth.

Japanese Maple Accent Area

A Japanese maple serves as a central landscape feature, framed by decorative Spanish-style tile for added contrast and visual interest.

Seasonal Planting Design

The landscape includes a combination of shrubs, ornamental grasses, and evergreen plantings selected for year-round beauty and low maintenance.

Plant materials include:

  • Hydrangeas for seasonal blooms and texture
  • Arborvitaes for privacy and evergreen structure
  • Junipers for ground coverage and winter interest
  • Gold Forest grasses for movement, color, and seasonal contrast

These plant selections work together to create a landscape that remains visually appealing throughout all four seasons.
