A garden makeover is for the yard that's gotten away from you - the beds that have been overtaken by weeds and straggly shrubs, the lawn that's more moss than grass, the whole property that just feels tired and neglected even when you try to stay on top of it. Sometimes the right move is not to maintain what's there but to clear it out, start with good bones, and plant something that will actually work for your property and your life.
Aaron handles complete makeovers from clearing through installation. He'll start by walking the site with you, identifying what's worth saving and what isn't, then build a plan that solves the underlying problems rather than just covering them up. Bad soil gets amended. Drainage issues get corrected. Plants that have outgrown their space get removed rather than perpetually cut back. The result is a yard that looks fresh and feels manageable rather than like a constant project.
Many of Aaron's best before-and-after projects have been makeovers, where the existing landscape was more constraint than asset and a complete rethink opened up possibilities the homeowner hadn't considered. If you've been tolerating your yard for a few years and are ready to actually enjoy it, a consultation is a good place to start.

Common Questions
With a site visit and an honest conversation about what you actually use the yard for. Most tired landscapes aren't failing because of the plants. They're failing because the layout stopped matching how the family lives. We work out what stays, what goes, and what the space is really for before we draw anything.
No, and usually we shouldn't. Mature trees and established shrubs are the hardest thing to buy. They take decades. A good makeover often keeps the bones and rebuilds around them. Removal is for what's genuinely in the wrong place, unhealthy, or blocking something better.
Yes, and for larger projects it's often the smart approach. We plan the whole property, then build it in stages so each phase looks finished on its own rather than like an abandoned construction site. It also spreads the cost across seasons.
Hardscape looks finished immediately. Planting takes two to three growing seasons to knit together and start looking like it belongs. We design with that timeline in mind, so year one looks intentional rather than sparse.
Aaron has transformed dozens of tired Ann Arbor landscapes into spaces homeowners love. Yours could be next.
