For Waterford’s mix of lakefront, wooded, and established residential properties, plants that tolerate Southeast Michigan’s changing seasons work best. Depending on the site, we may recommend serviceberry, redbud, viburnum, ninebark, hydrangeas, coneflowers, black-eyed Susans, and ornamental grasses. Every planting plan is tailored to the property’s sunlight, soil, drainage, deer activity, maintenance needs, and proximity to the water.
