Forest Hills homes were not built for cookie-cutter yards, and most of the people living in them can tell the difference between a landscape that was simply installed and one that was actually designed. That is the difference RRR Lawn & Landscape builds toward on every property in this neighborhood, whether it is a quiet patio tucked under mature trees or a retaining wall that finally makes a sloped side yard usable again.
We handle design and construction in-house, from the first walk around your yard to the last stone set in place, so you always know who is responsible for what and when. If you want an outdoor space that fits the way your family actually lives, this is where that conversation starts.
Many homes in Forest Hills sit on lots with natural grade changes and established landscaping, so slope and drainage tend to come up early in the design conversation. West Michigan’s clay-heavy glacial soils hold water longer than sandy soil does in other parts of the state, which is one reason a properly planned retaining wall or graded planting bed does more than look good. It protects the investment underneath it.
Our landscape design process accounts for these site conditions before a single stone is placed, so the finished space holds up through Michigan winters and wet springs. Homeowners who want a closer look at how local soil affects drainage and planting success can reference MSU Extension lawn and garden resources.
A major outdoor investment should not feel confusing, and it will not with us. Our design-build approach keeps homeowners in Forest Hills involved at every stage, from the first walk-through of the property to the final punch list, so there are no surprises about scope, sequencing, or what the finished space will look like.

Forest Hills lots often have the space and setting to support a real outdoor living space, not just a slab of concrete off the back door. We build patios sized and positioned for how a family actually gathers; retaining walls that turn a sloped side yard into usable space; and full outdoor kitchen and living areas for homeowners who want to spend more of the year outside.
Explore our hardscaping work, including patios, retaining walls, and outdoor kitchens and living spaces, to see the kind of construction quality we build every project on.
A well-built patio or retaining wall is only part of the picture. Thoughtful planting design and seasonal color are what make a Forest Hills property feel finished and cared for through every part of the year, not just the months when the hardscaping is on display.
Our landscape bed management and seasonal color services are built to keep planting beds looking intentional across the seasons, whether that means a spring refresh, summer color rotation, or a fall cleanup ahead of winter.
The best way to judge a design-build landscaping company is to look at finished work, not promises. We keep an updated record of completed projects so Forest Hills homeowners can see the quality and range of what we build before requesting an estimate.

You already know what is not working out there. The corner that floods every spring, the patio that is too small for anyone to actually use, the beds that never quite look finished. None of that has to stay that way.
Request a Free Estimate, and we will walk the property with you, talk through what is realistic for your yard, and put together a custom plan built to last. Schedule your consultation and let’s get started.
