Fine grading and final grading to establish proper slope and drainage
-
Soil preparation and amendments to support root development

Irrigation installation when applicable

Site stabilization to protect newly seeded areas
With decades of seeding experience across West Michigan soil types, we understand how to achieve consistent growth, reduce erosion, and promote long-term lawn health.
How to Care for a Hydroseeded Lawn
If you have any questions about caring for your lawn, please feel free to contact us. However, we have prepared this information sheet for you which answers the most common questions.
Fertilizer was applied with your hydroseed. This will last about 3-4 weeks. Your lawn likely will begin yellowing after this time. We generally recommend mowing one time before fertilizing. (Don’t be afraid to mow when needed, but collect the clippings for the first few times you mow). You can use any quick release starter fertilizer. You don’t need to use the top of the line brands. A new lawn requires an application of fertilizer once every three to four weeks for the first few months, or until the lawn is fully established.
Landscape Construction
Our landscape construction services focus on structure, durability, and performance. We work closely with homeowners, builders, and commercial clients to construct landscapes that are both functional and visually cohesive.
From foundational elements to large-scale landscape features, our team approaches each project with precision planning, proper materials, and efficiency that comes from years of experience.
Erosion Control & Soil Stabilization
Erosion and soil movement can compromise landscapes, infrastructure, and surrounding properties if not addressed properly. H&K Landscaping provides erosion control and soil stabilization solutions designed to protect both residential and large-scale project sites.
Our services include:
-
Hydroseeding for slope stabilization and large disturbed areas
-
Soil reinforcement techniques to prevent washouts
-
Soil erosion control blanket
-
Long-term erosion management for commercial, municipal, and industrial sites
Drawing on a deep understanding of Michigan's unique conditions, we evaluate each site’s grade, soil composition, and water flow to determine the most effective stabilization approach.
Drainage Solutions
Water management is a critical component of any successful landscape, especially in a state like Michigan that deals with freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow-melt, and spring runoff. Improper drainage can lead to standing water, soil failure, and damage to foundations or hardscapes.
H&K Landscaping designs and installs drainage solutions that:
-
Redirect water away from structures
-
Reduce pooling and saturation
-
Soil erosion control blanket
-
Protect landscaped areas from long-term damage
Our drainage solutions are tailored to the specific conditions of your property, ensuring long-lasting effectiveness.
Redi-Rock Retaining Walls
H&K Landscaping specializes in retaining wall solutions, including natural stone and large-block Redi-Rock retaining wall systems, ideal for projects requiring strength, stability, and longevity.
Redi-Rock precast block retaining walls are commonly used for:
-
Structural grade retention
-
Slope correction and management
-
Commercial and industrial developments
-
Residential properties with elevation challenges
Our experience with large-scale retaining walls ensures proper installation, alignment, and structural integrity, resulting in a wall that performs as well as it looks.
