Our Team
Clarkston Landscape & Design is a small business that’s big on talent and even bigger on experience. Our designer has 40 years of experience and was voted one of the top 10 landscape designers in the Detroit area. Our foreman is also an industry veteran, with 30 years of background installing patios and retaining walls. Our owner, Robert Lowrie, is a seasoned landscaper himself who’s actively involved in every project.
We don’t claim to be, or even attempt to be, the fastest landscaping company. Rushing is how mistakes are made. Instead, we sit down with homeowners before every project and carefully sift through each detail. Aside from our excellent results, our customer service is what keeps us in business. If we have not delivered a five-star experience, the job is not complete.
Contact us today to set up your next landscaping project. We can’t wait to get started!

Rob Lowrie
Owner
With his infectiously happy personality, you'll know when you first meet Rob how he runs such a successful team. He brings that level of positivity to every job. You'll immediately sense his dedication to his craft and his love of people. When he's not laying the groundwork for their next beautiful landscape design, you'll probably find Rob hanging out with his wife and their lovely, energetic twin daughters – or helping prepare their home for their third that's on the way.

We had an AMAZING experience working with Clarkston Landscape and Design. Rob was great to work with and helped us figure out what we wanted/needed to do to vastly improve our curb appeal. He was patient in hearing our ideas and answering questions, as well as making recommendations...all of this while helping us stay within our budget.

Rob and his team helped us with a major backyard transformation this spring that included two brick paver patio areas and two boulder retaining walls. It turned out so much better than we could have imagined. Beyond the incredible work they did, their level of professionalism, care for the work they do, and ongoing communication throughout the project was above and beyond our expectations.

Rob and his team built a beautiful rock wall and patio in my back yard. They completed the job almost exactly within the time frame they originally estimated. They were very professional and always listened to input from my wife and I. We especially appreciated how they brought their own clever design features to the table based on their own creativity and passion for landscaping.
