Clam Lake, Michigan Outdoor Living Project

Clam Lake Project
Location: Clam Lake, MI.
For this project we were contracted to do the landscaping work for a beautiful Airbnb rental home. The home was built and designed by the main contractors, and they partnered with us to create this dream outdoor living space!
Where We Started
Since this was a brand new build and space, we were able to focus on creating a luxurious and relaxing outdoor space for all future guests to enjoy. A priority was to redo the backyard retaining wall, and landscape the area.
The Design
When creating a design for this property we wanted to create a space that would be low maintentance, but high quality, and that would compliment the architecture of the place. A lot of the design involved separating the space into levels and layers.
3D Designs are great way to visualize space, and get a chance to see what the design will really look like!
The Process
When we start a project we divide it into individual work areas. This is often done when a project is completed in parts then as a whole. With this project it was completed all at once, but below we will go into each feature and show you from start to finish.
Hardscaping
The entrance to the house is divided by 2 paths of concrete steppers inlaid with pavers. The same walk way design is used to enter the shack to the side of the drive.
The stone retaining wall in the back is on it's own level and creates a three tiered effect when descending off the back porch onto the large lush lawn.

Planting & Landscaping
As you enter the front drive a row of junipers lines your path and leads into the main front landscape.
A stacked Urn Water feature is a center piece to the entrance, and trickling waters provides tranquil ambient sound.
The backyard is divided into three tiers. On the second tier we divide the space with a large paver patio, and an artificial turf sun bathing area. All this overlooks Clam Lake.

Lighting Transformation
The final touch in any landscaping project is the lighting! Illuminate the night with changing colors, focal point spotlights on outdoor plants or features, and pathway lighting.
The Transformation
When we started the property was mostly barren and dry, there was a lot of space to fill, but that only gave us a greater opportunity to improve it. With some creativity we were able to transform this space into an amazing oasis that guests will be able to relax in, and enjoy!
