Landscaping in Bloomfield Township, Michigan
Estate-quality landscape design and hardscaping for one of Oakland County's most prestigious communities. Wooded lots, rolling terrain, and properties that demand excellence.
Earth Art Landscaping provides premium landscaping services to Bloomfield Township, one of Oakland County's most distinguished residential communities. With approximately 43,000 residents and some of the highest property values in Southeast Michigan, Bloomfield Township demands landscaping that matches the caliber of its homes.
Bloomfield Township is not a place for cookie-cutter landscapes. The community's large wooded lots, mature tree canopy, and rolling terrain require a design approach that works with the natural environment rather than against it. Joe Hagen founded Earth Art on the principle that every landscape should be designed with purpose, and nowhere is that philosophy more essential than in Bloomfield Township, where the landscape must complement architecture worth millions.
Our Techo-Pro certification gives Bloomfield Township homeowners access to Techo-Bloc's premium product line, including their most sophisticated paver systems, wall blocks, and outdoor living components. For properties near Cranbrook, Kirk in the Hills, and the Bloomfield Hills Country Club area, we design landscapes that reflect the community's tradition of refined elegance while incorporating modern outdoor living functionality.
Bloomfield's Distinctive Properties
Large wooded lots, historic estates, and terrain that demands expert design and construction.
Working With Wooded Lots and Mature Canopy
Bloomfield Township's defining landscape feature is its mature tree canopy. Properties here often feature century-old oaks, maples, and beeches that create a dense overhead canopy covering 60-80% of the lot. This creates unique design challenges: hardscape areas must be positioned around root zones, plant selections must tolerate deep shade, and lighting design must work with the natural vertical structure of the trees rather than competing with it.
The Cranbrook area estates, some dating to the early 1900s, present landscapes that must respect architectural heritage while meeting modern expectations for outdoor living. We design formal garden elements, stone-bordered planting beds, and grand entry walkways that echo the craftsmanship found in Cranbrook's own gardens and grounds. These properties are not about trends; they require timeless design that ages gracefully.
Bloomfield Township's rolling terrain, with elevation changes of 5 to 15 feet across a single lot, makes retaining walls and terraced patios essential for creating functional outdoor space. Our engineered wall systems use natural boulder and premium block to solve grade challenges while looking as though they belong on the property. Near Kirk in the Hills and the Bloomfield Hills Country Club, where properties back up to wooded ravines and lakeshores, we integrate the built landscape seamlessly with the natural surroundings.
Why Bloomfield Properties Demand More
Bloomfield Township is distinct from its neighbor, the City of Bloomfield Hills, but both communities share a commitment to property excellence. Homeowners here understand that landscaping is not an expense but an investment. A well-designed landscape in Bloomfield Township can add 15-20% to a property's perceived value, a figure that translates to significant dollars given the area's home prices.
The expectations here extend beyond aesthetics. Bloomfield properties need landscapes engineered for longevity. The dense clay subsoil beneath the township's topsoil layer means drainage must be carefully planned during every hardscape installation. We install robust drainage systems beneath patios and behind retaining walls, ensuring that water moves away from structures and that freeze-thaw cycles do not compromise the work over time.
Privacy is another critical consideration in Bloomfield Township landscape design. We design layered screen plantings using evergreen and deciduous combinations that provide year-round privacy without creating a wall-like effect. Strategic placement of ornamental trees, flowering shrubs, and perennial borders creates separation between neighboring properties while maintaining the open, estate-like atmosphere that defines Bloomfield.

Tree protection is a primary concern on every Bloomfield Township project. We establish tree protection zones before any equipment enters the site, keeping machinery and material storage outside the drip line of all preserved trees. For hardscaping near mature oaks and maples, we use alternative base systems that minimize excavation depth within root zones. Bloomfield's trees are often irreplaceable, and we treat them that way.
Bloomfield properties warrant premium materials. We frequently use Techo-Bloc's Blu Grande and Raffinato collections for patios, natural fieldstone and Pennsylvania bluestone for walkways, and hand-selected boulders for retaining walls. Material selection depends on the home's architecture, the surrounding natural landscape, and the homeowner's aesthetic preferences. We present material options during the design phase so you can see and touch the products before committing.
Absolutely. Many Bloomfield Township properties near Cranbrook and the Long Lake Road corridor feature Tudor, Georgian, and colonial architecture that requires landscape design with historical sensitivity. We study the architectural style and era of each home and design complementary garden elements: formal hedging for Georgian homes, naturalized cottage borders for Tudor properties, and clean, symmetrical layouts for colonial estates. The landscape should feel as though it grew up with the home.
