Lance and his crew completed a few projects for us in the spring and summer of 2025. We had a new build which required leveling, removing rocks, roots, laying sod, and hydroseeding in various areas. We are scheduled for beach restoration in the spring of 2026. Lance is honest and reasonably priced, with a strong work ethic. Lance was responsive to our questions and any concerns we had. We have confidence that his work will meet our expectations as it has been in the past. Linda

Lakeside Outdoor Solutions completed many projects for us over summers of 2024 & 2025. Lance & his crew landscaped the lakeside & roadside of our Little Pine property & also completed lawn restoration, tiling, installed a superb above ground lawn watering system & leveled our beach in the spring. Lance is friendly, professional & trustworthy. We were very pleased with every aspect of the work he did for us. He offers great service to his customers & we both highly recommend Lance & his crew at LOS! Arlin & Harriet

It was a smaller job but they responded quickly. Kaylin came up with some wonderful ideas for plantings. She was also helpful with questions I had about moving plants in my hosta bed. They did the jobs. Clean up afterwards. The crews were polite and efficient. I would highly recommend them and will use them in the future.

Kaleb and his team were beyond our expectations from start to finish of project. Kaleb took what WE thought was a very difficult space to design and developed it into a beautiful, useable, safe walkway. Kaleb listened to our needs and communicated at a high level. His timeline was spot on. His team was very professional and covered every detail. They left the project far more cleaned up then when they started including laying grass seed on areas that were tore up. All of our future projects will be with Kaleb and this company.

Good experience with this business. Kaylynn promptly came out to the site and gave me a quote. They were scheduling about a month out. It was a “new build “ site with lots of ruts and mud from heavy equipment. They smoothed out the lot, brought in asphalt rocks for the driveway and parking area, put down straw with grass seed for the lawn (which sprouted like a Chia Pet), and obtained the county permit.

Lakeside Outdoor Solutions recently repaired damage along our lakeshore, and we couldn’t be happier with how the project turned out. From the beginning, Lance was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with, something that is hard to come by these days. Lance is a hard worker who pays attention to detail, working long hours to complete the project quickly without compromising quality.  Highly recommend! Thanks, Lance!

Lance has been a godsend to us at our home on Little Pine Lake. He and his crew are meticulous, prompt, and trustworthy. He has done several projects for us, including paver walkway, paver fire pit, landscape revitalization, gravel parking lot, beach leveling and lakeside patio. He is extremely friendly and an absolute joy to work with. We have referred his services to several neighbors, friends, and family. If you’re looking for a honest, hardworking local landscaping company, we whole heartedly recommend Lakeside Outdoor Solutions!!

LOS is great! We have a narrow lot which restricts what type of landscaping can be done.Lance is creative and suggested ideas which are attractive but stay within township and county ordinances. Lance and his crew do quality workmanship. Most importantly LOS puts the costumer first. Lance stays in contact, makes sure the agreed upon work is done, and done to highest quality possible. I highly recommend LOS for your landscaping needs!

We enjoyed working with Lance from concept to completion on our project. Lance took a complex situation with many different elevations and degrees of elevation and turned it into a pleasing yard that will be easy to maintain. Lances vision and ability to see what things will look like make him the right person for your landscaping project. Lance kept us up to date on a daily basis on his schedule and how things were progressing, One thing we noticed early on was that there was no 8 to 5 schedule as they worked evenings and weekends as needed to complete our project on time Overall I would recommend Lance for your landscaping project.

If you have a current landscaping project or looking for ideas and an estimate for work next spring I would highly recommend calling Lance with Lakeside Outdoor Solutions. We have used his service multiple times and are very pleased with their workmanship. It is hard in today's world to find a company that will communicate when the project will be done and what will be done. With Lakeside Outdoor both were done every time they did work for us. I would highly recommend using their services!

I am so happy with my landscaping project! Lakeside Outdoor Solutions were prompt and efficient! They replaced landscape fabric, rock and removed shrubs , ground down a tree stump, and hauled in dirt and planted grass seed. I was out of town and 24 hours later it was completely finished! I would recommend Lakeside Outdoor Solutions with confidence! Before and after photos below.

We really can't say enough about the professionalism, the communication, the suggestions, the crew, the finished job--how quickly it was done, how great it looks and functions, how tidy everything was left. We had a new home built on a lot we'd owned for several years. There were outbuildings and infrastructure plus a retaining wall that had to be reworked. LOS had to work around all of that, and did an excellent job of it! We absolutely highly recommend Lakeside Outdoor Solutions. Edited to add: We found out about Lakeside Outdoor Solutions when we contacted a sand and gravel business. We were told, "There's others out there but this guy is the best."
