Tree, Shrub & Seasonal Planting
The right plant in the right spot is most of the battle. We select trees, shrubs, and perennials suited to your soil, sun exposure, and Michigan's freeze-thaw cycles — not just what looks good on install day.

Placement is the whole job. Scroll to see the layout set on the bed before anything goes in the ground.
- 01 Empty bed Mulched, edged and ready, with nothing in it yet.
- 02 Laid out Every shrub and perennial is set on the bed in its spot and shuffled until it reads right — before a single hole is dug.
- 03 Planted In the ground, watered in, and spaced for what they'll be in five years, not what they are today.
Stage 03 is a real SB Outdoor Solutions planting in Metro Detroit. Stages 01–02 illustrate the same bed earlier in the job.
