Landscape Design
design-Build mindset
Experienced, Creative, and Professional
Inhabitect enriches the projects we design, build, and grow by offering a different perspective on landscaping. We provide ecologically viable solutions backed by experience and integrity. Our skillsets include horticulture, landscaping, stormwater management and construction, as well as a touch of artistry and ingenuity. Having both the design and construction in-house, we work together to ensure the end result is more efficient, effective, and within budget.
We take the time to listen to our clients’ needs and provide tailored solutions. When possible, we strive to collaborate with project architects, engineers, and general contractors during a project’s design and budgeting stages. This helps to increase efficiency and aids our team during the implementation stages of a project.
Inhabitect will look at the challenges of the site and offer an innovative viewpoint that most practitioners don’t consider. This results in the enhancement of a site’s design and ensures our customer’s expectations are met. A changing climate requires solutions to problems such as stormwater mitigation, natural resource management, and sustainable community growth. Inhabitect will minimize the effects of these challenges by creating ecologically friendly landscapes on rooftops and on the ground, in residential, public and commercial settings.
Effective, Efficient and Accurate
Below are examples of what you can expect from our design team. Inhabitect utilizes numerous software and drafting technologies, such as AutoCad, the standard Adobe suite, and high powered drones to develop sets of highly detailed and scaled drawings. From concept to project completion, we deliver an elevated landscape experience. Each drawing set helps our team be effective, efficient and accurate during the budgeting, bidding, and construction stages of the project – leaving any guess work out of the process.

Inhabitect is a new breed of landscaper—we are designing, building, and growing ecologically resilient landscapes, both on rooftops and at ground level. This infographic represents the interconnection between the various scopes of work and solutions that can we deliver to our clients.
We are shifting conversations in the landscape industry by embracing resiliency, utilizing innovative products and systems, and implementing these design strategies. We are activating nature and delivering environmentally-sound landscapes and stormwater solutions that consciously protect our waterways, wetlands, and microhabitats of the Great Lakes basin.
Residential Projects
This Glen Lake Residence project showcases our ability to create outdoor spaces that are as beautiful as they are functional.

The Wayne Street Residence project illustrates our unique ability to design and build an entire eco landscape with green roofs, walls, and infrastructure from start to finish.
Natural Shoreline Projects
The Duck Lake Residence project showcases our expertise in building a landscape that is not only beautiful but protects the sensitive ecosystem of the stream that connects with Duck Lake.
This natural shoreline restoration project reflects Inhabitect’s comprehensive design-build approach. This project transformed the property into a more functional lakeside retreat.
This Lake Leelanau project, perched on a steep bluff, presented unique challenges but shows our ability to work on a variety of different natural landscapes.
Commercial + Tribal Projects
This project underscores our ability to collaborate on community-focused initiatives that prioritize sustainability, cultural sensitivity, and environmental stewardship.
By combining advanced geotechnical stormwater solutions with environmentally friendly materials, this Arthur Duhamel Marina project supports cleaner water and healthier ecosystems.
Inhabitect provided land use consulting, site planning, and ecological landscape design services for Taproot Farmstead, a future public-use space in Elmwood Township.
Rooftop Projects
This lakefront project showcases Inhabitect’s ability to work in sensitive, highly-regulated environmental areas, combining ecological integrity with architectural excellence.
The Belt Line Center proves that a green roof can do more than replace an old one—it can pay for itself. It’s the first building in Michigan to use PACE financing for a green roof. The project includes a 17,250 sq. ft. vegetated roof, 300 sq. ft. of pavers, a 2,500 sq. ft. blue roof, and a rain garden for added stormwater management.
We helped streamline the installation process of this private rooftop living space—adjusting designs and layouts, selecting materials, and implementing the construction phase on a very tight deadline—while meeting the client’s budget expectations.
