Outdoor construction & hardscaping in New Hudson, MI
New-build patios, driveways, and landscaping for New Hudson and fast-growing Lyon Township.
New Hudson, in Lyon Township, is one of the fastest-growing corners of Oakland County — the township grew roughly 60 percent in a decade, with new subdivisions, townhomes, and golf-course-to-housing conversions like Cattails Cove rising along the Grand River and I-96 corridors. Kensington Metropark and Island Lake sit minutes away.
Michigan Outdoor Creations builds patios, driveways, retaining walls, and landscaping across New Hudson and Lyon Township, with the base and grading work that new construction on clay demands.

This is new-construction country, and new lots have specific needs: freshly graded clay that settles, builder-grade yards with poor drainage, and blank backyards that need patios, driveways, and full landscaping from scratch. We build deep, compacted, drained bases so a new patio or drive on a still-settling lot stays flat.
Golf-course conversions like the former Cattails course and larger lots along the I-96 corridor add retaining-wall and driveway work to the mix. The township is even building a walkable downtown at the historic New Hudson six-points where Grand River, Milford Road, and Pontiac Trail meet. Throughout, footings go below the 42-inch frost line and drainage is designed in from day one.
