A Lake Home Surprise in Livonia
Client Snapsot
Who:
Dan Moran – homeowner on Conesus Lake in Livonia, NY
Need:
Dan originally reached out for basic mulching at his lake house, but after a consultation, it was clear he wanted a full landscape redesign—with one major twist: it had to be a surprise for his wife, completed while they were away on vacation.
The Problem
Frustration:
An outdated, uninviting landscape that lacked structure, plant diversity, and effective drainage.
Why it mattered:
The lake home was a place for retreat and relaxation, but the neglected landscaping didn’t reflect the care the Morans wanted to give their property—or the experience they wanted to come home to.
Client Testimonials
