R&D Landscape

R&D Landscape In 2001, Russ and Doug decided to open up shop of their own, and R&D Landscape was born. It’s our goal to share those sights and sounds with you!

At R&D Landscape we strive to bring you a landscape that is both beautiful and affordable, completed by technicians who are both professional and honest, in a manner that is both timely and gratifying. IN THE BEGINNING...

Russ and Doug initially became friends back in first grade, and have continued to grow in their friendship over the years with mutual passions for the outdoors and ideals of hon

esty and integrity. After working at a landscape nursery together during high school, they both went on to attend Michigan State University for Horticulture degrees where they continued to gain experience at local landscaping companies. Some of our favorite customer stories come out of those first few seasons, where customers were willing to take a chance on R&D Landscape, and we were able to deliver. We are even fortunate enough to still serve many of those customers today. As we continue to grow, we have been able to add key friends to our team, allowing us to serve more customers while still keeping a family feel to our company. We strive to provide quality, valuable landscaping services and exceptional customer service – something that our company was founded on and something we continually instill into our team. We are a tight-knit crew that loves the outdoors and making nature accessible and enjoyable for our customers. Many of us are inspired by the natural beauty of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula as well as our experiences hiking, running, cycling, and swimming outdoors. CORE VISION & MISSION

To be the best landscape company in the world! Our definition of “best” is based on five criteria in order of importance: motives, joy, integrity, profitability and size. We understand that at sometimes these items work together for growth and at other times they may work against each other. Visit our website to learn more about our Core Values!

Another update from our project at Marshall Self Storage! The privacy screening along the fence is in, the trees are planted along the property line, and we're wrapping the beds with fresh mulch. Big commercial installs like this take time and we're loving how it's all coming together.

New build, new landscape! 🌲 We're hooking up this brand new storage facility in Marshall with street plantings, road frontage screenings, and massive planting beds wrapping the whole property. Blackhill spruce, maples, junipers, yews, arborvitae, and yes… one swamp oak

(Slade swears there's an alligator in the pond 🐊 jury's still out).

We’re out in Marshall, Michigan this week working on a large planting project and this one is going to look incredible when it’s finished!

Huge shoutout to our team for the effort they’re putting in right now. The growth we’re seeing isn’t by accident… it’s because of the people behind it!

More pictures of this project to come!

Today was an awesome training day! As we welcome a lot of new team members for the 2026 season, it’s important to us that no one gets left behind when it comes to skills, growth, and confidence.

Days like today are what make us different and what make this such a great place to work. The camaraderie, the fellowship, the GRIT.

We love this stuff!

Last week, our team hit pause on the day-to-day to focus on something bigger.... Getting better!

We spent two full days sharpening our skills, dialing in processes, and reinforcing what it means to deliver at a high level. From proper landscape bed preparation and plant identification to precise installation techniques like seeding and edging, every detail matters, and we train that way.

We also focused heavily on equipment handling, safety protocols, and the correct use and care of our tools to ensure every job is done efficiently and safely.

Beyond the physical work, we emphasized something just as important, communication! How we interact with our clients and how we operate in the field using our systems plays a huge role in the overall experience we deliver.

At the end of the day, this is what separates a good company from a great one.
We don’t just show up... We show up prepared, professional, and committed to doing things the right way every time.

We love this stuff!

As the 2026 Lansing Home & Garden Show comes to an end, we just want to say THANK YOU to everyone who stopped by the R&D Landscape booth!

The turnout this year was incredible. We had a blast meeting so many new faces, hearing about your outdoor dreams, and catching up with so many of our amazing customers.

Events like this remind us how lucky we are to serve such a great community.

Now it’s time to turn all those ideas into reality this summer. ☀️🌿

We can’t wait to see what 2026 brings, and we’re already looking forward to seeing you all again at next year’s show! ❤️
