A beautiful home becomes only more beautiful when graced with perfect landscaping. The grass is green, healthy and thick, and the flowers are bright, long and blossoming.
Landscapes can say a lot about a person’s personality, so when a project needs work, it should be done by those with the experience and resources to make a landscape look its best.
Now in their 28th year, Lowrie’s Landscape continues the work that gave them an outstanding reputation throughout the community
Owner Thomas Lowrie, Gold Award winner and 2005 Business Person of the Year has been working at his current location for more than 20 years, but takes every year as a chance to improve and offer a wider variety of service to his customers.
In the beginning, Tom had a summer job landscaping while attending Western Michigan University. After graduating with dual bachelor’s degrees in biology and agriculture, Lowrie took a job at Bordine’s Nursery. When he moved on from the nursery, Lowrie decided to venture into business for himself.
‘I decided to go out on my own and started from the back of a truck like a lot of people do, and slowly grew,? he said.
Lowrie’s Landscape utilizes an experienced staff of professional, award-winning landscape designers, horticulturists, hardscape and softscape construction crews, and water garden designers.
‘We strive to create award winning designs that will completely satisfy our customers needs,? said Lowrie.
As winter passes and more people turn to recreational activities at home, Lowrie’s adjusts to accommodate. Lowrie’s is greatly increasing the variety of accessories for water gardens including bird baths, fountains, and fire burners.
‘You really can’t find this stuff anywhere else right now. We’re moving into a specialty area right now,? Lowrie said. ‘It’s somewhat therapeutic for people to have these things in their garden and they’re becoming more and more popular.?
But landscaping isn’t just gardens and walkways. Now golf-lovers can have their very own artificial putting green installed in their back yard. You could take two strokes off your game without leaving your home
The Lowrie motto is simple, Lowrie’s Landscape has been making homeowner’s visions come true since 1978. From beautiful backyard patios for social gatherings to secluded water garden hideaways, Lowrie’s has the experience to create the landscape of your dreams. Lowrie’s specializes in brick patios and walkways, low-voltage lighting, retaining walls, steps, ponds and gardens for new homes and renovations. Whatever the outdoor need, Lowrie’s has it covered.
Additionally, Lowrie’s is further expanding its selection of bulk supplies for homeowners including rocks, soil, and mulches. Lowrie’s has also added different lines of fountains, sun dials, pottery and ironworks to the fold.
In 2006, Lowrie’s began offering Moon Valley Furniture to accompany his designs. Lowrie likes the way the swings and Adirondack chairs have a rustic look.
Lowrie said the business will start putting more items in front of its building to attract more attention from passing motorists on Dixie Highway. He said because the traffic flow has increased in the last several years, that is drawing more business for the shop’s retail offerings.
‘It’s funny how people who live around here, drive by and never realized we’re here,? Lowrie said.
Lowrie strives to achieve satisfaction from each of his customers. He loves the challenge that comes with transforming his clients vision into an actual landscape design that pleases them.
‘I have always had positive feedback from my customers,? said Lowrie. ‘And I have made many friends.
Lowrie has also become a friend of neighboring business, Keepsake Flowers, which he plans to coordinate with his business.
Lowrie’s aims to make everyday like a retreat. ‘We try and make someone’s yard a vacation at home whether it’s with waterfalls, fountains or putting greens. Sometimes we put in barbeques and things like that so people can enjoy more time at home,? Lowrie said.
‘We try and make their outside area more of an outside living area.?
