- 3514 N Pitcher St, Kalamazoo, MI 49004

For Michigan homeowners and commercial developers across the Kalamazoo region, transforming an outdoor space from a mere lawn into a custom-designed living area requires a specialized kind of contractor. John Post Landscape Services operates as the region's dedicated Design/Build outdoor contractor, bridging the gap between high-level conceptual design and expert construction. While the term "general contractor" is often used for home construction, John Post fills that essential role for your exterior environment, managing the entire process of creating complex and beautiful landscapes from the initial sketch to the final installation.

Operating out of Kalamazoo, John Post Landscape Services brings the vision of a Landscape Architect directly to life. This unified approach, known as Design/Build, is highly valued in Michigan's construction and remodeling sectors because it streamlines the project. Instead of hiring a separate designer, an architect, and then a construction crew, clients work with one accountable entity. This simplifies communication, reduces delays, and ensures the final result perfectly matches the initial Conceptual Design, all while managing costs effectively—a crucial advantage in a competitive market like Southwest Michigan.

The firm's focus is on crafting bespoke Outdoor Projects that enhance both the aesthetics and functionality of a property. They don't just plant flowers; they conceive and construct entire outdoor living spaces, which, by necessity, involves the same project management and structural expertise as many traditional general contractors. This includes everything from hardscape elements like custom patios and walkways to the final softscaping touches that bring the design to life, ensuring a seamless, high-quality execution for every client.

As a professional local business, John Post Landscape Services is committed to providing expert service throughout the entire project lifecycle. They understand that a beautiful and lasting outdoor space is a significant investment, and their Design / Build model is built to maximize the return on that investment through professional management and superior craftsmanship that meets Michigan's demanding climate needs.

The core competence of John Post Landscape Services lies in their full-spectrum Design/Build model.

• Conceptual Design: The foundational stage where initial ideas, client goals, site analysis, and budget parameters are fused into a creative, workable vision for the outdoor space.

  • Softscaping Installation: Procurement and planting of trees, shrubs, perennials, and annuals, specifically chosen for the Kalamazoo climate and soil conditions.
  • Grading and Drainage: Essential groundwork, including site preparation, soil amendment, and installation of drainage solutions to protect the property and landscape from Michigan's heavy rainfall and snowmelt.
