Real feedback on outdoor spaces, hardscape quality, and the results that keep us recommended
Alex and his crew at AJ’s Creative Landscape are prompt , professional and highly skilled at a competitive price ! We were extremely happy with the large paver job , retaining wall and fire pit they installed. I highly recommend them for all your landscape , concrete and paver jobs. I would definitely use them again and again. Mike & Marcy Amine ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Alex did a garden wall for us. It is beautiful. Alex really listened to what we wanted. His team cleaned up the work space each evening before leaving. We would definitely use him again and recommend him to our neighbors.
I found Alex by accident thru my General Contractor. He built a retaining wall, covered a large area with Fabric/stone and excavated an area around the rear of my house. I wish I had found him sooner! I will be hiring him again for several other projects and would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a dependable landscaper that does great work.
Create a warmer, more inviting outdoor space before the next season arrives.

We design and build beautiful gathering spaces that add warmth, comfort, and value to your landscape.
We start with an on-site consultation to learn how you want to use your outdoor fireplace, then review layout, drainage, grading, access, and nearby hardscape features. We recommend the right size, fuel option, stone or block finish, and placement for safe clearance, comfort, and long-term performance.
Next, we provide a detailed proposal with material options, build scope, and a realistic timeline, which is often 1 to 2 weeks for planning and product coordination. We finalize the design, confirm measurements, prepare the base and structural plan, and schedule the work to keep your project organized and efficient.
Our crew installs the fireplace with a strong foundation, proper masonry techniques, clean lines, and careful attention to finish details that match your patio or landscape design. After completion, we complete a full walkthrough, check stability and appearance, and make sure you are confident in the finished result before we wrap up.
A well-built outdoor fireplace does more than add warmth. It creates a natural gathering spot, extends the use of your patio into cooler months, and gives your backyard a finished, custom look. At AJ's Creative Landscape, we design and build outdoor fireplaces that fit the way you want to relax, entertain, and enjoy your space.
Our fireplace service starts with planning the right size, shape, and location for your layout. We look at patio flow, seating areas, wind exposure, safety clearances, and how the fireplace will work with nearby features like retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, walkways, and paver patios. The goal is a fireplace that looks like it belongs there, not one that feels added on later.
We build fireplaces with durable hardscape materials made to handle Michigan weather. Depending on the design, that may include concrete block systems, natural stone, brick, stone veneer, caps, and fire-rated components. We focus on solid base preparation, proper construction methods, and clean finishing details so the structure performs well and holds up over time.
Many customers choose outdoor fireplaces as part of a larger outdoor living space. They work well as a focal point for backyard entertaining, lounge areas, poolside patios, and commercial gathering spaces. A custom fireplace can also help define separate zones in the landscape while adding comfort, style, and value to the property.
We can build a range of styles, from traditional wood-burning looks to clean, modern designs that match the rest of your hardscaping. Design options may include raised hearths, seating wall integration, wood storage niches, lighting accents, and coordinated materials that tie into existing concrete flatwork or patio surfaces.
When we install an outdoor fireplace, we keep the process organized and clear from start to finish. We help you choose the right design, explain material options, and build with long-term durability in mind. If you want an outdoor fireplace that makes your space more usable, welcoming, and visually striking, we are ready to help create it.
