"We would recommend Alliance Ground Services to anyone. Jared & Kayla consulted with us on our project offering great thoughts and suggestions to enhance own ideas. Our project involved many different improvements and they met or exceeded our hopes on everything we asked for especially the retaining wall. Our project finished at the projected cost in a timely manner. I still enjoy seeing all the improvements Jared & Kayla made to our property."

"He kind of went the extra mile, once the work was done first it was very clean and then the next thing that stood out was he cared about my dogs not getting out of the fence and he fixed a little sense so they could not get out until the other work was complete. Also, he was very thorough and careful."

Hi! This is Gary, the owner of GM Construction. I started in wood and custom cabinetry and studied under a master carpenter for many years before starting my own business. I designed GM Construction to stand head-and-shoulders above the competition in many ways. Here are a few examples: First, I personally do a complimentary consultation with each homeowner. I listen to what you envision for your project and bring sample materials with me to educate you on the pros and cons of all your options. From my vast hands-on experience, I can offer suggestions when appropriate so that your project will complement your home and lifestyle. Second, I'm there on every project to manage and guarantee the highest quality work every step along the way. I do not use sub-contractors like my competition. I use my own experienced, top notch crew and my crew is extremely diligent to be non-invasive to the parts of your home/yard, plus leave a clean work environment every night. Third, you will be satisfied with your project's outcome. I take care to make sure that every client is well taken care of and gets the wow factor in the work we complete. My business is booming because of the great referrals my clients and work produce. Take me up on my free in-home consultation so that you can experience the difference working with GM Construction. - Best! Gary Suchland
"The build went great, excellent communication from everyone. Job was done earlier than expected even with them a man short for a few days. Angela and Gary outlined everything we should expect, worked around scheduling weirdness due to having a new born coming and delivered a great product. Great company, I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who is planning on doing anything with an outdoor space. Gary's design was spot on, and turned out better than we even imagined."

Ace Outdoor Services was founded in 2001 to serve the growing need for quality grounds maintenance services in South East Michigan. Based out of Grand Blanc, Michigan, we are fully insured and owner-operated. Unlike the average owner-operator, however, Ace possesses a deep management team that is focused on growing a sustainable, professional organization that will have a significant impact on the community. During our 7-year history, the company has built a significant client base by continuously building on our reputation of quality work and customer service. We firmly believe that the best way to provide true value to our customers is through the development of mutually-beneficial, long-term relationships. Our programs and systems are custom-designed to meet the current needs of our customers while incorporating the flexibility necessary to accommodate unanticipated changes in our customers' needs and desires. At inception, Ace primarily focused on mowing and plowing; however, in response to strong demand from our customer base, we quickly expanded our service offerings in order to provide comprehensive coverage of our customers' needs. While we've expanded into many ancillary service lines, it remains our goal to stay relatively specialized so that we can maintain our focus on superior quality and customer service. At Ace, our desire is to under-promise and over-deliver; not the other way around.

Absolutely. If you're passionate about golf and want to practice anytime without leaving home, installing a backyard putting green is worth it. While it's an investment, consider the cost of joining a golf club—elite clubs charge up to $500,000.
Plus, annual membership fees average $6,000, and that's before additional costs like per-round fees, caddies, carts, and other extras that can add $1,000 or more per year. Over time, having your own putting green could save you money and provide endless convenience.
A good size for a backyard putting green is around 500 square feet—it provides ample space for practice without overwhelming your yard. If space is limited, even a 100-square-foot green can be fun and functional. If you have room to spare, a larger green up to 2,000 square feet lets you add areas for long putts or mini-golf features. Ultimately, the best size is one that fits your space and meets your practice needs.
Artificial turf supports chipping because its longer, durable fibers are engineered to deliver precise chip and pitch shots. This surface allows dedicated chipping mats to effectively simulate a natural putting green, making your practice sessions both efficient and reliable. The design replicates true green conditions, boosting shot accuracy and confidence, and ensuring your backyard practice area performs as intended.
Putting greens are made from either natural grass or synthetic materials like nylon and polypropylene. Natural greens use specialized bentgrass for a smooth surface, while synthetic greens feature durable fibers designed to mimic real grass. Installation costs are about $18 to $25 per square foot for synthetic turf and $1 to $2 per square foot for natural sod.
It takes between one day and one week to install a backyard putting green. Professional teams complete a compact and straightforward installation in one day, whereas larger projects featuring design elements like hills and slopes require up to a week. The installation duration depends on the project’s overall complexity and scale, ensuring every area is expertly prepared and implemented for high-quality performance.
An outdoor putting green lasts 5 to 15 years when it is maintained with discipline and care. Regular cleaning, mowing, and proactive upkeep extend its durability, and professional maintenance further ensures that the green remains in peak condition. This longevity enhances your outdoor recreational space, providing a reliable setting that elevates your game over many seasons.
