D&B LANDSCAPING INC

What D&B LANDSCAPING INC does

D&B Landscaping, Inc. is a family-owned, full-service landscape company founded in 1972 and headquartered at 13222 Merriman Rd., Livonia, Michigan. The company provides custom landscape design, installation, hardscape construction, irrigation system design and maintenance, landscape lighting, water features, tree/shrub/lawn care, recurring property maintenance, and commercial snow removal to residential homeowners and commercial property owners across 50+ cities in Southeast Michigan, including Livonia, Detroit, Ann Arbor, Plymouth, Novi, Southfield, Birmingham, and Troy. Pricing is project-based and custom, derived from a free initial consultation, site survey, and detailed proposal process, with budget tiers on inquiry forms ranging from $2,500 to $20,000+.

The company's service operations are organized across distinct residential and commercial service lines covering landscaping, hardscapes, maintenance, tree/shrub/lawn care, landscape lighting, water features, irrigation, and (commercial only) snow removal. An affiliated sister company, D&B Greener Inc., provides specialized lawn treatment, tree and shrub care, and state-certified pesticide application services. D&B is fully licensed by the state of Michigan in landscaping, nursery stock, and pesticides, and holds a registered trademark ("We Help Mother Nature!®"). Senior leadership is concentrated within the founding Bywalec family — Dan Bywalec (President, 52 years' experience), Robert Bywalec (VP Sales, 40+ years), and Ronald Bywalec (Division Manager/Irrigation, 39 years) — supported by project managers and certified applicators with 16–29 years of tenure and degrees from Michigan State University in horticulture and landscape architecture.

Revenue is generated through two primary mechanics: one-time project-based revenue from design and installation engagements (classified as landscape installation services), and recurring subscription-style revenue from ongoing maintenance contracts and seasonal commercial snow removal. Go-to-market is consultative and direct, with customers initiating contact via phone, website quote requests, or walk-in inquiries; commercial sales are led by VP Robert Bywalec and structured around free consultation, site survey, custom design, and detailed proposal phases. Marketing channels include the company website, quarterly email newsletter ("The Leaflet"), Facebook organic social, and word-of-mouth referrals. Notable named commercial customers include Henry Ford Health System and Schoolcraft Community College.

Direct peers

• Ruppert Landscape: Mid-Atlantic-based full-service landscape construction and maintenance company serving commercial and residential clients. Closely comparable to D&B in service mix (design, install, maintenance, snow removal, irrigation) and customer segmentation, though operating in different geographies.
• Bartlett Tree Experts: Large U.S. tree and shrub care specialist with residential and commercial services including pruning, removal, and plant health care. Directly overlaps with D&B's tree, shrub, and lawn care division and serves a similar dual residential/commercial customer base.

Broad incumbents

• TruGreen: National lawn care franchise specializing in fertilization, weed control, and pesticide applications for residential and commercial properties. Directly comparable to D&B's D&B Greener division and lawn treatment services, but with much broader geographic reach and franchise model.
• Davey Tree Expert Company: Established North American provider of tree care, landscape services, and environmental consulting for residential and commercial clients. Overlaps with D&B on tree/shrub care, landscape maintenance, and commercial grounds management across a multi-state footprint.
• LandCare (formerly U.S. Lawns): National commercial landscape services franchise providing maintenance, irrigation, and snow removal to enterprise properties. Closely comparable to D&B on the commercial maintenance and snow removal revenue streams, but at a much larger franchise scale.
• BrightView Landscapes: Largest U.S. commercial landscaping services firm, offering full-service landscape design, installation, maintenance, snow removal, and irrigation to enterprise and government clients nationally. Directly comparable to D&B on commercial services, snow removal, and irrigation, but operates at vastly larger scale and national scope.
• Lawn Doctor: National lawn care franchise providing fertilization, weed control, and pest management services to residential customers. Comparable to D&B on the recurring lawn/tree/shrub care side (D&B Greener), though primarily franchise-driven and not a full landscape installer.

Regional players

• English Gardens: Metro Detroit-based garden center and landscape services retailer operating multiple locations in Southeast Michigan. Comparable to D&B as a Michigan-headquartered competitor offering retail nursery products alongside landscape design and installation in the same regional market.
