You drive through neighborhoods in Shelby Township, Rochester Hills, and Troy and you can immediately tell which homes had professional landscape design and which ones are just... a lawn with some bushes. The difference isn't just aesthetics -- it's tens of thousands of dollars in property value.
Maybe you've been doing it yourself for years -- planting a bush here, adding mulch there, hoping it somehow comes together. Or maybe the previous owner had different taste, and you inherited a yard full of overgrown junipers and crumbling edging from the '90s. Either way, the result is the same: your yard doesn't match your home or your lifestyle.
A professionally designed landscape isn't about throwing money at plants. It's about understanding how you use your outdoor space, creating flow between areas, choosing plants that thrive in Michigan's climate, and building hardscape features that tie everything together into one cohesive, stunning property.
Most landscape "designers" hand you a drawing and wish you luck. Most hardscape contractors don't do plants. Most plant nurseries don't do construction. You end up juggling three contractors, three timelines, and three chances for things to go wrong.
Nelligan's does it all. Design, hardscaping, softscaping, grading, drainage, lighting, and installation -- one team, one point of contact, one cohesive vision from day one. We design with 25+ years of construction knowledge, so everything we draw can actually be built on time and on budget.

Yes -- professional landscaping typically returns 100-200% on investment. Curb appeal alone accounts for up to 7% of a home's perceived value. In competitive markets like Rochester, Troy, and Shelby Township, well-designed landscaping can be the difference between a fast sale and a stale listing.
Absolutely. We'll evaluate what's worth keeping and what should go. Mature trees, healthy established plants, and good hardscape can be incorporated into a new design. No need to start from scratch unless you want to.
Spring (April-June) and fall (September-October) are ideal for planting in Michigan. Hardscape work can be done anytime the ground isn't frozen. We recommend starting the design process in early spring to get on the schedule for optimal planting windows.
