We are a pre-construction land clearing/forestry mulching team that will not only clear your property of brush, trees and stumps. We also do grading work,gravel,stone,crushed asphalt driveways.

"Removal was efficient even though there was a lot more concrete below ground than expected. Made a trip to the hardware store for extra sand to fill in the hole and even hooked me up with a new hoop!"

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.

"The crew were very professional and did a wonderful job and finished the job in a timely matter. I love this company. Perfect thank you Ace Outdoor Services!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
