Trusted by West Michigan Property Managers & Estate Owners
See why facility directors on the Medical Mile and waterfront homeowners in Grand Haven and Saugatuck rely on our year-round team.
"We have over 350 employees and patients arriving by 6:30 AM every morning. Last January's 18-inch lake effect blizzard didn't cause a single delay. Four Seasons Shores had liquid brine down before the storm and plows rotating through the night. Their summer turf striping is equally first-class."
Marcus VanderLeek
Facilities Director, Grand Rapids Health Tech Center
"Building into the dunes along Lake Michigan requires genuine engineering know-how. Four Seasons Shores handled all township permits, installed a breathtaking tiered boulder wall with native grasses, and plowed our steep heated driveway all winter. Best contractor experience in 20 years in West Michigan."
Elena & Doug Schuitema
Waterfront Homeowners
"Before switching to Four Seasons Shores, we dealt with two different fly-by-night seasonal companies who blamed each other for damaged turf in spring. Having one dedicated team that manages both summer beauty and winter clearing has cut our headaches to zero."
Brian Hoekstra
HOA President, Macatawa Bluffs
"With semi-trucks rolling in 24 hours a day, we can’t tolerate packed ice or snowdrifts. Their loaders and V-plows keep our docks completely clear. Their GPS time-stamped logs make liability auditing effortless."
Sarah Lindquist
Property Manager, Lakeshore Logistics Park
