Mike took our basic idea on our outdoor living space update and improved it. Our patios, walkway and pergolas are both beautiful and functional. Mike enjoys his work and takes time to be sure everything is done right.
We have hired Cornerstone Hardscapes and Hydroseeding on several occasions, from carpentry, hydroseeding and soon to be hardscapes.
The vision that you have in mind can develop into a reality with the help of our design team. We specialize in brick paver driveways, retaining walls, walkways, firepits, and paver patios. We will go over every detail with you along the way providing a backyard dream come true.
A quick and easy option for grass. This is an alternative to using sod and at a fraction of the cost. Our professional crew can spray your yard for you. Within 2-3 weeks you will be ready for your first mow.
The perfectly landscaped yard is unique to each client. Our specialist will work with you while examining the particulars of your space and put together an impeccable plan to add not only beauty to your home, but value as well.
Cornerstone Hardscape & Hydroseed started years ago as a side business nights and weekends. The owner of the company, Mike Dettmer, truly enjoys creating beautiful pieces of art within the realm of outdoor entertaining. Having a passion to create and dreams of owning our own company he decided to take the leap and make this a full time business. Turns out more than passion and dreams are required to run a business! It has been an adventure to learn and to ensure that our company is running and operating correctly within all local, state and federal guidelines.
As we have stepped out on faith to provide our services full time we have learned many lessons, met many wonderful families, and been blessed beyond measure. We are a family owned and operated company. Do not be surprised if you see a child running along your path to the crew to stop and visit while delivering lunch, or notice a toddler with a shovel at the end of the day helping to put the last stone in place. As we raise our family and run a business these will overlap at times and we are happy to see your projects come to life!
Our goal is to use the various talents on our crew to work with you to create the outdoor area you envision.
Our guys are the best! We have travelled to trade shows and see what other companies have to offer. They don't have our crew and we have the best! Seeing the pride of our humble and talented crew as well as the many satisfied customers makes what we do worth it!
Thank you for considering trusting us with your next project.

There is a high demand in this area and at times in the past we have been booked into the next season for our hardscape projects. Through hiring and training a professional crew this past season we have been able to complete projects even faster. Our goal is to give you an accurate timeline for your project before you sign a contract.
That depends of course on many factors. Some of the cost is a fixed rate based on local suppliers and labor. There are many options and styles of pavers, however, that fall along a spectrum of prices. When you receive a call back to discuss a quote be sure to mention your budget as we can recommend certain paver styles depending on your budget and the style you have in mind.
If our crew is working in the field you may reach our voicemail. Take heart, we do check these and we do respond. Please leave any important details and we will return your call as quickly as possible. At that time we will discuss how promptly we are able to get you on the schedule for a quote. We will be coming to your home to review all details with you for the quote. If you have any pictures in mind or something you saw online be sure to have that ready to show. We will be taking measurements and photos. Once back in the office your vision will be created into a design which we will provide to you with an anticipated start date and a final cost to submit to you for approval. After approval you will be added to the schedule.
Maybe. There are certain parts of the project that can be done in rain and even in the fall as the snow starts to fly. Other important steps must be done on dry days. The amount of rain each season greatly affects the schedule as we strive to be at your house on time and work our schedule with a cushion to try to anticipate weather. Once you are a client we will communicate changes to you if needed.
Yes. We do not charge for quotes. We also recommend that you contact other companies as well and make the best decision for your unique needs.
Yes. We are an LLC legally operating in Michigan. If you have further questions we are happy to answer them.
We will show up and we will do your project completely. We own our equipment and our employees are prompt and punctual. We are aware that other companies in the area have done this and on behalf of all reputable hardscape companies across the nation, we are sorry to hear about your experience. Our past client's testimonials speak for themselves.
We will work this all out with you before we begin your job. Hydroseeding is paid for in a one time payment and your details will be given to you when you approve the job. Landscaping may be a one time payment, half down before and half down after, or a monthly schedule if long term maintenance. Hardscape projects typically will be half down when we begin and half at completion. The only thing to note regarding these specific projects is that we can, but typically do not handle your materials. We ask that after everything is agreed upon that you go to our local supplier and pay your bill for the pavers. You will pay us directly for labor only.
Well if it rains, very little work for you. After your seed has been sprayed onto your lawn you will need to water it. That's it. We will provide you with all of the details and answer any questions that you have ahead of time.
Yes. While we work with you to design your project we will also work closely with our local suppliers to keep you updated on changes or anticipated concerns. Specifically regarding materials for Hydroseeding we are seeing price jumps. We have only raised prices when they have been raised on us. As far as hardscape projects go we have recommended in the past that clients go ahead and order supplies once the contract is signed. That may mean that your scheduled start day is out a ways, but this will guarantee that your materials will be delivered to our local supplier and the cost will not raise in the meantime. Essentially locking in your paver price.
