1)Carpe diem. Seize the day…live in the ‘now’…and do so with a positive mindset. Everything may not go our way every time, but we’ll look for – or work toward – the positive in any situation. Positivity guides us to opportunity.

1)Carpe diem. Seize the day…live in the ‘now’…and do so with a positive mindset. Everything may not go our way every time, but we’ll look for – or work toward – the positive in any situation. Positivity guides us to opportunity.
2)Help turtles. A struggling customer is like a turtle laying on its back or stuck trying to cross the road. It’s our responsibility to flip them back on their feet and get them out of traffic.
3)Dive deep. Touch bottom. LISTEN. We’re in the solution business. Only after we have really listened, can we help with a proper – and comprehensive – solution.
4)Do good while doing well. Let’s face it…we’re here to make money. But we ALWAYS want to do what’s right, and not be consumed by chasing $.
5)Innovate. See over the horizon. Yeah – the very first “law” said “live in the now” – but we’re talking business here. Pay attention to what’s coming…or it will run you over.
6)NO JERKS ALLOWED. Seriously. Life is too short and being a jerk is not acceptable. We won’t be jerks. We won’t accept jerks as customers, vendors, or employees. And that goes for any of the synonyms for jerks, too…use your imagination.

When the world’s leading water feature innovators at Aquascape Inc. needed a "Kick-off" team for the most audacious project in their history, one of the FEW they called was Kurt, of Verdant Landscape Consulting.
The mission? To create a "Garden of Eden" in the heart of a game preserve in southern Africa that's larger than the country of Singapore.
The Challenges were extreme:
- Precision Engineering: Placing 90-ton boulders (the largest ever placed on a liner) using the largest crane on the African continent.
- Logistical Mastery: Planning and executing a build half a world away with zero access to local hardware stores or distributors—meaning every bolt and liner had to be shipped in months in advance.
- Survival: Building an "Idyllic Sanctuary" in a high-desert environment where the local wildlife meant there was no room for error, and seasonal weather swings meant you had to get it done right - the FIRST time.
What this means for your Michigan home: If we can engineer a self-sustaining ecosystem that thrives in the African desert, we can certainly transform your Oakland County backyard into a flawless, low-maintenance retreat. We bring that same "World-Class" planning, thoughtfulness, and "Zero-Fail" mentality to every Michigan project we touch.

- MGIA Gold Medalist: Our projects have been awarded multiple Gold Awards by the Michigan Green Industry Association. These aren't just trophies; they are proof that our peers recognize Verdant as the gold standard for water feature design and execution in Michigan.
- A "Hands of the Artist" Feature: We are proud to appear in the Aquascape "Hands of the Artist" book— a curated collection of the most breathtaking water features in the world. As you flip through this gorgeous book, you’ll understand the "Rare Air" artistry we find ourselves in, and that we bring to every Oakland County home we beautify.
- Naturalistic Composition: We specialize in a "natural ecosystem" approach —moving away from the "pile of rocks" and toward a grounded, weathered aesthetic that looks like it has been part of your property for a thousand years, and works WITH Mother Nature, not against her.
Our Heart: A Commitment to Community & Healing
At Verdant, we believe a landscape should do more than look beautiful—it should provide a sanctuary for the soul. Our roots in Oakland County run deep, and we view our work as a way to give back to the communities that raised us.

At Verdant, we believe a landscape should do more than look beautiful—it should provide a sanctuary for the soul. Our roots in Oakland County run deep, and we view our work as a way to give back to the communities that raised us.
- Hana’s Garden: A Legacy of Serenity: Following the tragedy at Oxford High School, we were honored to be asked to design - then build - the beautiful water features in Hana’s Garden. As neighbors to Oxford, and with family directly tied to the school, this project was deeply personal. We worked to ensure that the sound of moving water provided a backdrop for reflection and healing for every family walking those paths.
- The Power of the Tribe: We believe in the "Verdant Code" of doing good while doing well. For the Oxford project, we leveraged our global network to secure over $12,000 in donated professional products and coordinated a multi-state crew of master builders who traveled to Michigan to serve our community - and it needs to be highlighted that these pros came here ON THEIR OWN DIME. We are privileged to be part of this tribe of amazing humans.
- Civic Leadership: Our commitment to the region extends beyond the soil. As a member of the Board of Directors for the Orion Area Chamber of Commerce and a representative on the Orion Township Environmental Resources Committee (OTERC), we work daily to ensure our local environment and economy thrive for the next generation.
