Meet the crew behind your Southeast Michigan outdoor build.
Michigan Outdoor Creations is an owner-operated outdoor construction company serving Oakland County and Southeast Michigan. Drainage-first discipline is why our patios still sit flat in February.
Four rules. Every job.
We don't sub it out. The faces on day one are the faces on day forty.
Pitched base, drain tile, edge restraint. The part most crews rush and we get right.
What we quote is what you pay. No moving targets between bid and build.
Footings below the 42-inch frost line and drainage behind every wall, so nothing heaves or cracks when the ground freezes.
The whole backyard, built as one project.
Most backyards are built by a different crew for every piece — one company for the patio, another for the wall, another for the planting — and nothing quite lines up or drains right. We do all of it, designed and built as one project, on one drainage-first foundation.
Brick and paver patios, driveways, and walkways set on a deep compacted base with polymeric joints and edge restraint that actually restrains.
Cedar, composite, and hardwood decks engineered on footings dug below the Michigan frost line — built to outlast the house they're bolted to.
Stamped, colored, and exposed-aggregate concrete patios, walkways, and driveways poured on a proper base and pitched to drain.
Natural and manufactured stone walls, columns, fire pits, and seating built on proper footings with full mortar and drainage detail.
Engineered retaining walls with geogrid reinforcement and drain tile behind every course — walls that hold the hill in February.
Design-build landscaping that ties the hardscape together — grading, drainage, planting beds, mulch, and stone, planned as one outdoor space.
