Crooked Tree Nursery

🏡 A trend we're seeing with Mid-Michigan homeowners:

People are investing more in outdoor living spaces than ever before.

Patios, fire pits, gathering spaces, landscape lighting, shade trees, and outdoor entertaining areas aren't just "nice-to-have" features anymore. They're becoming extensions of the home.

The best part? These improvements often provide value in two ways. First, they create a space you can enjoy today with family and friends. Second, attractive outdoor living spaces and strong curb appeal can make a property more appealing when it's time to sell.

Whether you're planning to stay for years or thinking about future resale value, investing in your outdoor space can be one of the most rewarding improvements you make.

🎉 Congratulations to Tony Nash, the 2026 Mr. Owosso!

We had the pleasure of hosting this year’s candidates at our Open House and enjoyed getting to know them throughout the competition.

What a group of troopers. Rain, sunshine, heat, cold—this campaign seemed to have it all. Through it all, the candidates kept showing up for their causes and our community.

⛪ What could this church campus look like in the future?

Before any project moves forward, there is often a lot of discussion, planning, and imagination involved. One challenge is helping everyone see the same vision.

For this recent Owosso-area church concept, we took an idea and turned it into a visual rendering that helps bring the possibilities into focus.

We recently shared a behind-the-scenes look at the entire process on our blog if you'd like to see how it all comes together.

Crooked Tree Nursery Design Process: From AutoCAD Site Plan to SketchUp Model to Photorealistic Visualization Recently, our design team developed a conceptual improvement plan for a local Owosso church campus. The project required balancing aesthetics, accessibility, circulation, and long-term funct...

🌿 A lot of people still picture stamped concrete the way it looked 20 or 30 years ago.

But outdoor living — and stamped concrete itself — has changed dramatically over the years.

Today’s stamped concrete can create beautiful patios, fire pit spaces, walkways, and entertaining areas that feel far more natural, customizable, and connected to the home than many older installations people remember.

And for many Mid-Michigan homeowners, it can also be a more budget-friendly way to create larger outdoor living spaces compared to some higher-end hardscape materials.

The key is thoughtful design, proper installation, drainage planning, and understanding how Michigan weather affects outdoor surfaces over time.

We recently shared a new article talking about how stamped concrete has evolved, where it works best, and what homeowners should consider when planning outdoor living spaces today:

Stamped Concrete in Michigan: Then vs. Now https://crookedtreenursery.com/stamped-concrete-michigan-then-vs-now/

Stamped concrete has come a long way over the years. Learn how modern stamped concrete compares to older installations and why it’s become popular for patios and outdoor living spaces in Michigan.
