Why Choose Nate O’Grady?

We Design Experiences, Not Just Blueprints

Our projects are more than layouts and materials. They’re built around how you want to live and use your space. That’s why we don’t hand off your design to someone else to build. Our in-house crews install every element with the same care and attention that went into the plan.

We Know the Soil and the Seasons

Northern Michigan is our home. We understand what grows well here, what doesn’t, and how to build for the long haul in a four-season climate. That means smarter material choices, better drainage, and a landscape that still looks great years down the road.

We Put You First

We believe in building long-term relationships, not one-time transactions. From your first call to the final walkthrough, our team is respectful, responsive, and committed to delivering a five-star experience—uniforms, communication, and clean job sites included.

Meet Our Team

Nate O’Grady

Founder and President

When Nate was young, he learned many valuable things while working aside his Dad every day in the family landscape business. That’s when he decided he would devote the rest of his career to being the best landscaper he could be.

Kasey

Kasey Lofgren

Lead Designer and Installer

Kasey returned to Northern Michigan from Chicago in 2018 and quickly put his eye for design to work alongside his brother, Nate. As the creative force behind the company’s designs, Kasey is responsible for all landscape design concepts and CAD drawings, transforming ideas into detailed, build-ready plans. He also leads hardscape projects in the field, where his natural problem-solving and “puzzle-building” skills shine. Now transitioning into estimating for hardscape projects, Kasey brings his full-circle expertise in concept, design, installation, and budgeting. Outside of work, Kasey enjoys spending time on the golf course, where he’s always up for a good round.
