Apex and Habitat for Humanity Team up

Apex Landscape had an opportunity to donate a landscape to Habitat for Humanity this month.  It was a 1029 Hovey in Grand Rapids.  It was a great experience and we are proud to be a part of such a tremendous organization.  We were able to work with a wonderful group of volunteers and help out a worthy family.  Habitat for Humanity's mission is to assist its affiliates to increase capacity to build simple decent homes in partnership with people in need in the State of Michigan.  In 2009, H for H affiliates built or rehabbed 235 homes in partnership with people in need.  Currently, 3,225 Michigan families live in a Habitat for Humanity home. An exciting aspect of this particular home is that it is a LEED Certified project.  It is nice to see so many people coming together to do something that is good for the economy, the earth, and the community.

This is a project that we are just wrapping up.  The clients wanted to create more useable space in their back yard while also adding some interest.  The result is a natural stone wall and perennial garden.  Of course this will take a couple years to really shine as the plants will need to mature and fill in.  We tried to give the rock a softer more natural look rather than stacking the rock and creating a harsh retaining wall.  This is phase one and we are very excited to continue to add to this great backyard retreat. If you would like to reshape your landscape or have any questions regarding the materials and plants used on this project feel free to contact Apex Landscape today.
