A Lifetime of Landscaping
Mark Risch founded Verdure H2O, Inc. in 1998 after working in his family's successful landscape business and nursery in lower Michigan for 20-plus years. Utilizing this extensive experience in landscape design and construction, as well as a Master's Degree from University of Detroit Mercy, Mark entered the Metro Detroit market with a desire to create and install custom landscape and hardscape projects while maintaining a high level of quality and client satisfaction.
Nicole Risch joined Verdure H2O, Inc. in 2005 as lead landscape designer and business manager. Nicole earned a Master's Degree from University of Detroit Mercy and along with her lifelong passion for art and creativity, she welcomes the opportunity to bring function, value, and unique beauty to our client's outdoor environment.
Mark and Nicole are passionate about landscaping excellence. From consultation to completion, they personally work with all clients to provide a custom designed, value-added, and enjoyable outdoor environment at a sensible price. Every project is shaped by their commitment to professionalism, fine craftsmanship, use of quality materials, and attention to superior design.
Verdure H2O, Inc. has been a 100% referral-based business for 27 years and counting.
