Tanner (Owner of TMT Excavation) and his crew did an excellent job "refreshing" and expanding my long gravel driveway. The driveway had not been updated in 20 yrs...the entire job from estimate to completion was very professional (yet friendly!) and I even received guidance on NYS tax exemptions for capital projects. The job was completed in less than a day and I love it!

Expert Landscaping Design and Installation in Groton, NY
Landscape design and installation in Lansing starts with understanding your property before anything gets planted or graded. At TMT Excavation & Outdoor Services, we assess your yard's layout, drainage patterns, and soil conditions first. Many Lansing yards deal with clay-heavy soil that holds water and causes pooling near foundations. We account for that in every plan we build. From there, we select plants suited to Michigan's cold winters and warm summers, so your landscape holds up season after season. Our work covers planting beds, grading, hardscape elements, and full yard transformations. Whether your front yard needs structure or your backyard needs a complete redesign, we build a plan around how you actually use the space. Every installation is done with long-term performance in mind, not just curb appeal on day one. Lansing homeowners ready to stop guessing and start building can contact TMT Excavation & Outdoor Services to schedule a site visit.
