Creative Design Build Associates serves homeowners in Shelby Township with custom landscape design, hardscaping, pools, and full outdoor living construction. In-house design. In-house build. One accountable team from start to finish.
Shelby Township is one of Macomb County’s fastest-growing residential markets, with newer construction neighborhoods alongside established subdivisions. Homeowners here are investing in outdoor spaces that extend the home and increase its value. We design and build those spaces.
Whether you are in a newer development or an established neighborhood, our process is identical: site consultation, full design with 3D renderings, material selection, permitted construction by our own crews. No subcontractors for the core work. One team accountable for the full project.
Shelby Township shares Macomb County’s clay-heavy soil and 30–60 annual freeze-thaw cycles. Both conditions demand specific base preparation to prevent frost heave and drainage failure. Every hardscape we install here uses properly compacted aggregate bases, graded drainage, and Unilock-certified interlocking pavers.
Full design from site analysis to construction documentation. Every element drawn and approved before build begins.
Paver patios, driveways, retaining walls, walkways, and natural stone — installed with bases engineered for Michigan's freeze-thaw conditions.
Custom inground pools and spas designed alongside your landscape plan. Gunite construction, custom tile, integrated spa options.
Pergolas, outdoor kitchens, fire features, and full backyard transformations built for year-round entertaining.
Pathway, uplight, and pool-area lighting designed as part of the landscape plan — not added as an afterthought.
A structured process that keeps your project on time, on spec, and on budget — from the first site visit to the final walkthrough.
We visit your property, walk the space, and document site conditions, drainage, and your goals for the finished outdoor area.
Schematic plans and 3D renderings produced for your approval before any build contract is signed.
Pavers, stone, pool finishes, and structures sourced and specified. Unilock dealer access with full warranty-backed product range.
We handle all required permits and municipal approvals. Full build schedule set before work begins.
Our own crews handle every phase. No subcontracting the core work. One team. One standard throughout.
Every element confirmed against the approved design before we consider the project complete.

Common questions from Shelby Township homeowners about landscape design, hardscaping, pool construction, and outdoor living in Macomb 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.
Yes. Shelby Township’s growing residential market sees consistent demand for outdoor spaces that extend the home and increase its livability. A professionally installed paver patio, pool, or outdoor kitchen directly supports resale value and buyer appeal. In newer construction neighborhoods where lots are generous, an unfinished backyard stands out negatively against neighboring properties that have invested in outdoor living.
