Outdoor construction & hardscaping in Bloomfield Hills, MI
Estate-scale outdoor living, stone, and pool surrounds for Bloomfield Hills' wooded morainal lots.
Bloomfield Hills is among the wealthiest communities in the country, built on rolling, heavily wooded morainal terrain dotted with small estate lakes — Wabeek, Wing, Island, and the Long Lake chain — and anchored by the Cranbrook Educational Community. The homes are large, often mid-century, set on quiet wooded lots.
Michigan Outdoor Creations builds estate-scale outdoor living in Bloomfield Hills — stone walls, pool surrounds, full landscapes — with the drainage discipline that wooded, clay-heavy lots require.

Estate budgets here mean full outdoor-living build-outs: stone seat walls and columns, pool surrounds, fire features, and integrated landscapes designed for privacy. But the wooded, morainal setting is demanding — mature-tree root systems and clay-rich till complicate grading, drainage, and footings on nearly every lot.
We build the way these properties deserve, with footings below the 42-inch frost line, drainage engineered behind every wall, and root-aware excavation that protects the canopy the homes are known for. On estate lots, that unseen base work is exactly what protects a six-figure outdoor investment.
