Summer Project
Client wanted a “one of a kind” hardscape design using various pavers integrating different textures/colors/sizes surrounding the pool area. The front yard design included existing pavers as well as two new paver styles. The landscaping involved removal of every single planting and installation included hydrangeas, lilacs, roses and ornamental grasses. The landscape design focused on mass plantings throughout, bringing out vibrant colors during both spring and summer. And thank you Linda Pifer, you were great to work for.
Backyard Retreat
Constructed a 600 sq.ft. New York Blue Flagstone Patio. Installed eight tons of Michigan Sandstone outcropping pieces to retain the hillside. Plantings consist of a variety of perennials that will offer year-round color.

“I am recommending Jake Petlick as a professional designer and landscaper. Jake completed a large project at my home this summer. It involved a new driveway of pavers, a new stone wall, new soft-scapes, pathways and lighting. My home has a unique architectural style and Jake understood the style and the intent of the project. Jake is one of the few contractors I have worked with who puts the same intensity and care into my home as I do, both at a total project level but more importantly in the small details. The project went very smoothly. Jake and his team are true professionals. They listen and adapt to customer’s input as the project progresses. Their design skills are outstanding, They know what works and what does not. The entire team works efficiently to come in on time and under budget. I highly recommend Jake and Lake Michigan Landscapes”.
Outdoor Living Area, St. Joseph, MI
The focus of this project was to create a consistent living space on each of the three patio levels. In order to achieve this, we designed an outdoor kitchen along with two separate seating areas where the homeowners could enjoy the beautiful view of Lake Michigan. Project was completed within five weeks (from design process to installation) with a crew of four.
