Paver Driveways

Brick Paver Driveways are a way to add flare to your landscaping project. In most cases, the paver selection can carry throughout the site as walkways or patios.

This design incorporates pavers of different colors, adding additional interest. More attractive than concrete or asphalt, paver driveways are a beautiful way to enter your property.

This project included a heating element under the brick pavers. A nice plus for a Northern Michigan winter. There are many choices of colors, shape and surfaces. Contact Wilhelm Landscapes and let us show you the endless possibilities with a brick paver driveway.

Retaining Walls

 Retaining walls are generally needed to create a flat space on a hillside.

 This creates usable space that wasn’t existing. Another reason is to open up a lower area in a building. Like a walk out basement or an egress window. Driveways are another example of keeping higher elevations back or retained.

Retaining walls can be rocks, slabs or even wood. Fabricated concrete slabs are a common solution, especially for large projects. While wood can be an immediate and less costly solution, we are often called to replace a wood retaining wall that has begun to fall apart.

Wilhelm landscapes is one of the only Northern Michigan Landscaping companies to own and mine our Lake Superior Boulder from the U. P.

Our boulders are not just big, they are full of colors and veins which make your retaining wall more interesting and beautiful.

Having a great design is paramount in establishing your retaining needs.

Wilhelm Landscapes will walk you through every step of what it takes to hold back a steep portion of your property. It’s as easy as contacting wilhelmlandscapes@gmail.com

Wilhelm Landscapes Announces Barge Service
