At this Bloomfield Hills home, Precision Landscaping planted 80 trees, laid 90 pallets of sod and installed a 30-zone sprinkler system. The pool area was a project of its own.

Our crew installed artificial turf around the pool, built retaining walls and poured 2,500 square feet of exposed aggregate concrete. Below ground, 500 feet of buried pipe gave the home’s downspouts a dedicated route for runoff. Here’s how those pieces fit into one full-property landscape installation in Oakland County.

80 New Trees and a Natural Sod Lawn

Arborvitae, Norway Spruce, River Birch and White Pine

The crew planted 34 arborvitae, 33 Norway spruce and four white pines, all eight feet tall at installation. Nine 12-foot river birches added a different canopy shape to the mix. The combination gave the property substantial planting from day one, with evergreens providing year-round greenery and river birches adding seasonal foliage.

300 Cubic Yards of Topsoil and 90 Pallets of Sod

It took 300 cubic yards of topsoil and 90 pallets of sod to establish the new natural lawn. The topsoil provided a growing layer for the sod, and the new 30-zone sprinkler system lets different sections of the property be watered separately. That matters on a large lawn where some areas will dry out faster than others.

Poolside Artificial Turf, Exposed Aggregate and Retaining Walls

1,800 Square Feet of Artificial Turf Around the Pool

The pool area got 1,800 square feet of artificial turf. It gives the poolside space a green surface that doesn’t need mowing, while natural sod covers the lawn elsewhere on the property.

2,500 Square Feet of Exposed Aggregate and 15 Steps

The crew installed 2,500 square feet of exposed aggregate concrete and 15 exposed aggregate steps. The same textured finish carries across the concrete surfaces and steps. The project also used 25 pallets of retaining wall block to manage changes in grade across the property.

What Went Underground for Downspout Drainage

Precision Landscaping buried 500 linear feet of PVC to route water from the home’s downspouts. On a property with new sod, retaining walls and finished concrete, deciding where roof runoff will go is part of planning the landscape. The buried lines give that water a defined route across the site.
