Southwest Michigan's Premier Landscaping Company

FourDecadesofCraftingMichiganLandscapes

From manicured lawns to full lakefront transformations — we take on projects others won't.

About MTL Landscaping

Family-Owned. Community-Rooted.

Mike and Leslie Malin founded MTL Landscaping in 1987. What started as a commitment to their neighbors in Southwest Michigan has grown into one of the region's most trusted landscaping operations — still family-owned, still personally run.

We're not a franchise. We're not a call center. When you call us, you're talking to people who grew up here, live here, and take pride in every property we touch.
