Services
We'll assess your site and research existing data to determine which laws may
apply to your project. Our registered landscape architect can work with you to
accomplish your goals while avoiding or reducing impacts to protected plants,
animals, and habitats.
We'll also handle interaction with regulatory authorities to help obtain the
needed permits and clearances. Our many years of experience have helped to build
solid working relationships with Michigan's DNRE. We can serve as a
liaison between the regulating authorities and you to help assure permit
compliance through all phases of planning, design, construction and monitoring.
