"Over the past 3 months I have been looking for someone reliable to complete the landscape work at my rental property in Kalamazoo. I had 2 other contractors that were not reliable and were extremely hard to get ahold of. This was not the case with McNutt Landscaping. They reached out to me right away when I put in my request on Angie’s list. My experience is unique because I don’t live in Kalamazoo so I had to explain over the phone the landscape upgrades I wanted to have done. They were able to complete the work within my budget and they did it within 3 days of my initial call. The project came out great and I will be using them for regular lawn care moving forward. Very professional company and would recommend to anyone interested in landscaping work."

"We had an outstanding experience with Lytle Concrete! They removed a large number of unruly bushes and trees, cleared out all the river rock and oversized stones, and completely transformed our landscaping. They also poured beautiful new concrete steps leading to our front door with excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail. We especially appreciated their honesty and integrity as they saved us money by determining our existing sidewalk did not need to be replaced. They also installed a buried drainage pipe to divert water away from our foundation, which has already helped with basement flooding due to our high water table. Communication was excellent, pricing was fair, and the work was completed on time. They truly transformed our home into something we’re proud of. Highly recommend!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

You should plant trees at least 15 to 20 feet away from your house, and more if the tree will grow large and spread its limbs. Trees pose several dangers to houses when planted too close. They can litter the roof with leaves and branches, create fire hazards, make a ladder for larger pests, and even damage the foundation as their roots grow.

Many ways to landscape a steep slope on a budget exist. Avoiding expensive retaining wall construction is the first step. Consider creating a rocky slope with boulders or large stones, or think about planting perennials that return every year with a single investment. Transplanting small trees from elsewhere on your property is also possible and can help to stabilize steep slopes without purchasing new ones. 

A green home is one that focuses on conservation, with the goal often being net-zero carbon emissions and self-sustainability. It will often include some kind of self-generation equipment, like solar panels or a small wind turbine, high-efficiency electrical components and mechanicals, and high-quality insulation and air sealing to reduce the loss of conditioned air. Many green homes also include xeriscaping or rainwater collection to cut down on drainage and water consumption.

The duration of a lakefront landscaping project is determined by its scope, environmental conditions, and weather impacts. It often takes several weeks to a few months to complete.

The best size rock for your landscaping depends on the design, as different boulders serve different purposes. If you want to group boulders to create a natural-looking cluster, you’ll need a range of sizes. Otherwise, here are some suggestions:

  • Small boulders (smaller than 12 inches across): Best for landscape edging and fire pits 

  • Medium boulders (12–24 inches): Best for retaining walls and water features

  • Large boulders (more than 24 inches): Best as standalone landscaping features, steps, or walkways.

Of course, you can mix and match sizes to create a unique display.
