Residential clients

We design residential landscapes that improve your local environment — and we measure your impact.

Starflower designs landscapes for both form and function. We can design and build systems to manage stormwater, create native habitats for your favorite critters to enjoy, and more. If you have an environmental problem, we can solve it.

Design, planning, and management with proven results.

Our approach incorporates native, pollutant absorbing plants and natural, sustainable maintenance strategies, but that’s not all.

We calculate the amount of carbon absorbed, number of native species benefited, and gallons of stormwater managed by your project, so you know — with real data — that your partnership with us is improving your local environment.

How residential projects work

Part 1: Design & environmental benefit report

After completing a consultation, we’ll deliver a complete design package that’s ready to be handed off to a landscaper. You’ll also get a report that shows you how your new landscape design will improve stormwater management, absorb carbon from the atmosphere, and support native pollinators.

You can take this design to your favorite landscaper, or let Starflower manage the hard work for you.

Part 2: Build

Starflower has trusted landscaping partners across Michigan and can handle a limited number of small-scale, local projects in house. We’ll manage your build from start to finish and you’ll get one invoice from us once your project is finished.

Part 3: Management

We’ll create a detailed maintenance plan with all-natural, sustainable inputs and get those inputs to your door. We’ll provide 1 year of maintenance tailored to your project — usually in quarterly inputs.
