Midcentury Modern Landscaping & Hardscape in East Grand Rapids, MI

This East Grand Rapids homeowner was well underway with restoring a beautiful midcentury modern home when they brought us in to complete the exterior landscape and parking areas.

We began by clearing the entire outdoor space to make way for a clean, modern layout that would enhance the home’s architectural lines. Our team installed a new permeable paver driveway, designed to manage stormwater runoff efficiently while providing a sleek, durable surface.

To carry the midcentury aesthetic throughout the property, we incorporated large-format concrete pavers alongside hand-selected clay pavers that mirror the home’s original interior flooring—a subtle but striking connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces.

Thoughtfully chosen plantings and low-voltage landscape lighting help soften the bold geometry of the hardscape, adding texture, warmth, and visual interest—especially after dark.

This East Grand Rapids landscaping project is a perfect example of how design, function, and architectural integrity can come together in a seamless, modern outdoor space.
