Bloomfield Hills demands outdoor spaces that match the caliber of the home. Creative Design Build Associates delivers full design-build services — from custom landscape plans to finished pools, patios, and outdoor living areas. In-house. No handoffs.
With a median home value above $940,000, Bloomfield Hills properties call for outdoor environments built to the same standard as the homes themselves. Oversized wooded lots, private driveways, and lakefront settings each require site-specific design — not a template.
We produce schematic plans, material selections, and 3D renderings before any construction begins. Every Bloomfield Hills project is designed by our in-house team and installed by our own crews. The same standard from the first drawing to the final walkthrough.
Bloomfield Hills properties demand more than a basic patio. We install multi-zone paver layouts, terraced retaining walls, natural stone driveways, and seating walls — all on properly compacted aggregate bases rated for Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles. We are a certified Unilock dealer.
Full design from site analysis to construction documentation. Every element drawn and approved before build begins.

Common questions from Bloomfield Hills homeowners about landscape design, hardscaping, pool construction, and outdoor living in Oakland County, MI.
Permits are required for most structural outdoor projects across Oakland and Macomb County. Pool construction always requires a permit. Larger hardscaping projects, retaining walls, pergolas, and outdoor structures typically require permits as well. We manage the permit process for every project we build — submission, coordination with the relevant municipality, and scheduling inspections. You do not need to navigate the building department yourself. We include permit management as part of the project scope.
Landscape design covers the full plan for your property’s outdoor environment — planting schemes, hardscape layouts, grading, drainage, and how all elements relate spatially. Outdoor living refers to the specific built features within that design: patios, outdoor kitchens, fire features, pergolas, pools, and seating areas. At Creative Design Build Associates, these are not separate departments. The same design team that draws your planting beds designs your patio layout and pool surround. The same build crew installs the hardscape and the outdoor kitchen — producing a finished space that reads as one cohesive environment.

Michigan’s outdoor build season runs from late April through November, with the most active months being May through September. Starting your design phase in winter or early spring puts you first in the build queue when the season opens. Pool construction has the longest lead time, so homeowners who want a pool ready for summer should begin conversations no later than January or February. We recommend contacting us as early as possible to secure your place in the build schedule.
In Bloomfield Hills — where median home values exceed $940,000 — a well-designed outdoor environment is a standard expectation, not a luxury upgrade. A professionally installed pool with surrounding hardscape typically returns 5 to 8 percent on property value in high-end Oakland County markets. On estate properties, a poorly finished or unfinished outdoor space actively reduces buyer interest and negotiating position. Conversely, a cohesive outdoor design that matches the architectural quality of the home supports full-price valuations. The level of design and installation quality matters here more than anywhere else in Metro Detroit.
