Outdoor construction & hardscaping in West Bloomfield, MI
Terraced lakefront patios, decks, and retaining walls for West Bloomfield's 24 lakes and wooded estate lots.
West Bloomfield calls itself the lake township of Oakland County, and the numbers back it up — roughly 24 lakes covering nearly 1,900 acres, including Cass Lake, Pine Lake, Walnut Lake, and Upper Long Lake. The housing ranges from subdivision ranches and colonials to lakefront estates well into the millions, and the backyards are some of the most ambitious in the county.
Michigan Outdoor Creations builds across West Bloomfield, from the Walnut Lake area to the Orchard Lake edges, with the drainage and shoreline experience that lakefront work demands.

Lakefront here means terraced patios stepping down to the water, decks, and retaining walls — all on rolling, kettle-lake moraine with clay till and a high water table near the shore. That is technical ground, and West Bloomfield regulates it: a soil-erosion permit is required for disturbance within 500 feet of a lake, stream, or wetland, with environmental-feature setbacks and field-verified water lines.
We build to those rules and to the realities of clay and frost — footings below 42 inches, drain tile behind every wall, and grading that moves water safely on lots where the water table is already close to the surface. On high-end West Bloomfield lots, that discipline is what protects the investment.
