Professional Landscaping in Novi, Michigan

Complete landscape design and installation for Novi's new construction developments and established neighborhoods. From blank-canvas lots to full outdoor renovations.

Earth Art Landscaping provides full-service landscaping to Novi, Michigan, a city of approximately 62,000 residents experiencing steady growth and development. Novi's mix of newer subdivisions and established residential areas creates diverse landscaping needs, from complete ground-up landscape installations on new construction to renovation projects that breathe new life into existing properties.

Novi's growth trajectory sets it apart from many Oakland County communities. Developments like Island Lake of Novi and Chase Farms brought hundreds of new homes to the market in recent years, and many of these properties were delivered with minimal builder-grade landscaping: a thin layer of topsoil, basic sod, and a few foundation shrubs. These homes present an exceptional opportunity for comprehensive landscape design that transforms an unremarkable yard into a distinctive outdoor living space.

We have been serving Novi since 1987, watching the city evolve from a rural community into one of Oakland County's most sought-after addresses. Our Techo-Pro certification ensures that every paver patio, retaining wall, and outdoor living installation we build in Novi meets the industry's highest standards, backed by Techo-Bloc's extended warranty program.

New Construction Landscape Design

Novi's newest developments often deliver homes with landscapes that are functional but uninspired. Builder-grade landscaping typically includes basic lawn, 3-5 foundation shrubs, and a concrete front walkway. For homeowners in Island Lake of Novi, Chase Farms, and similar developments, this is a starting point, not a finished product.

We approach new construction landscaping in Novi as a complete design opportunity. Starting from a blank canvas allows us to plan the entire outdoor environment: proper grading that directs water away from the foundation, privacy screen plantings along property lines, paver patios sized and positioned for how you actually live outdoors, and landscape lighting that creates curb appeal from the very first evening you move in.

The advantage of landscaping a newer Novi home is that there are no existing constraints. We are not working around 30-year-old trees or removing a deteriorating concrete patio. Every element is designed as part of a cohesive plan, which means the material palette, plant selections, and hardscape layout all work together from the start. This integrated approach delivers a more polished result and typically costs less per element than piecemeal projects done over several years.

Renovating Novi's Original Neighborhoods

Not every Novi property is new construction. The areas along Novi Road, near Novi Town Center, and in the neighborhoods south of Grand River Avenue feature homes built in the 1970s through 1990s with mature landscapes that are due for renovation. These properties often have dated concrete patios, overgrown shrubs, and design layouts that no longer match how the homeowners use their outdoor space.

Landscape renovation in these established Novi neighborhoods involves removing outdated elements, regrading where decades of settling have created drainage issues, and installing modern hardscaping and plantings that update the property's appearance while increasing its value. We salvage mature trees and shrubs worth keeping, integrating them into a fresh design that respects the property's established character.

The ITC Corridor Trail, which runs through Novi, has increased demand for landscape improvements along adjacent properties. Homeowners whose lots border the trail want attractive landscapes visible from the path and privacy screening to separate their yards from trail traffic. We design multi-season screening using a combination of evergreen and deciduous plantings that provide year-round coverage without the maintenance demands of a formal hedge row.

Novi Landscaping FAQ

We recommend starting the design process 2-3 months before you want installation to begin. For new construction in Novi developments like Island Lake or Chase Farms, the ideal timeline is to begin design consultation in early spring for a summer installation, or late summer for a fall project. Waiting more than one season after closing means dealing with compacted, weed-filled builder soil that requires more preparation. The sooner you landscape, the better the long-term results and the sooner you can enjoy your outdoor space.

A comprehensive landscape upgrade for a typical Novi new construction home, including a Techo-Bloc patio, foundation planting beds, privacy screening, and landscape lighting, typically ranges from $15,000 to $45,000 depending on property size and scope. This represents a significant upgrade over the $2,000-$4,000 builder package and adds measurable value to your property. We provide detailed, itemized estimates so you can see exactly where every dollar goes and phase the project if needed.

Yes. We serve commercial properties throughout the Twelve Oaks Mall corridor, Novi Town Center, and along Grand River Avenue and Novi Road.
