When it comes to transforming outdoor spaces into stunning, functional extensions of the home, MayScape Services is rapidly becoming the go-to hardscape company in Southeast Michigan. Founded in 2024 by James May, MayScape Services brings a unique blend of horticultural expertise and innovative design to an industry hungry for quality craftsmanship and reliability.

From Cannabis Cultivation to Cutting-Edge Hardscape Design

Before launching MayScape Services, founder James May built a career in the cannabis industry, mastering horticulture, soil science, water management, and environmental optimization. Instead of leaving that knowledge behind, he transitioned it directly into the world of landscaping and hardscaping—bringing a scientific, artistic, and highly specialized approach to outdoor construction.

This foundation sets MayScape apart. While many contractors learn from trial and error, James entered the industry with advanced expertise in plant behavior, structural planning, and system design. The result is a company that understands not only how to build beautiful hardscapes, but how to make them last.

Southeast Michigan’s Premier Hardscape Specialists

MayScape Services is not your average landscaping company. We’re not a weekly maintenance crew, and we don’t focus on mowing, mulching, or seasonal cleanup. Instead, we take on the projects that require precision, engineering, and creativity—the ones that demand a true hardscape expert.

Our specialties include:

✔ Paver Patios

Custom-designed patios that elevate your outdoor living space—perfect for dining, lounging, and entertaining.

✔ Paver Walkways

Durable, visually striking walkways that add both beauty and functionality to your property.

✔ Paver Driveways

A long-lasting alternative to concrete or asphalt, built to withstand Michigan weather and heavy use.

✔ Raised Planter Boxes

Stylish, structural planter systems designed with James’s horticultural background in mind.

✔ Total Outdoor Space Transformations

From concept to completion, we redesign entire yards, combining hardscape, softscape, lighting, and layout for a cohesive outdoor oasis.

Whether you’re looking to upgrade your curb appeal or create a backyard retreat, MayScape Services delivers custom solutions built with care and craftsmanship.
