Landscape Design & Installation

Cohesive, livable outdoor spaces designed for your property.

Cohesive, livable outdoor spaces designed for your property.

A great Grand Rapids landscape begins with a plan. Our designers walk your property, listen to how you actually use the space, and translate that into a layout that feels intentional from the curb to the back fence — beds, trees, hardscape, lighting, and turf working together.

Once the design is approved, our installation crews handle every step: site prep, soil amendment, plant sourcing, edging, mulching, and clean-up. Because we self-perform the work, the design you signed off on is the design you get — installed to last through Michigan's freeze-thaw cycles.

Whether you're starting with a blank lot in Cascade or refreshing a tired front yard in Wyoming, we scale the project to your goals and budget without cutting corners on the materials that matter.

Frequently Asked

What does a landscape design consultation with Bernal Landscape involve?

We start with an on-site consultation where our designers walk your property and listen to how you actually use the space. We then translate that into a layout covering beds, trees, hardscape, edging, mulching, and turf — designed to work together from the curb to the back fence.

Does the same team that designs the project also install it?

Yes. Because we self-perform the work, the design you approve is the design you get. There are no handoffs between separate design and install teams — the same crew handles every step from site prep to final clean-up.

What affects the cost of a landscape design project?

The main factors are project size, the amount of grading or site prep needed, plant selection, and whether hardscape elements are included. We provide transparent estimates with no surprise upcharges. Free on-site consultations are available for all projects.

What plants does Bernal Landscape use for West Michigan properties?

We select native and ornamental plants proven to thrive in USDA zones 5 and 6 — Michigan's climate zone. Plant sourcing is part of every design, and we include seasonal maintenance plans to protect your investment long-term.
