Our History

     It’s always a good idea to know the company with whom you are thinking of doing business. Knowing a company’s history and reputation can help make clients feel confident that they are choosing the right people for the job. The following is our story.

     Nature-Scape is owned and operated by Paul Gucwa. Paul is a graduate of both Henry Ford Community College and the University of Michigan. During his years in school, Paul worked in the City Planning Department updating city plat maps. After graduating, he worked as a designer for two years with an engineering firm. Due to company cut backs, Paul received a lay off notice.

     As a result of this lay off in 1984, Paul started Nature-Scape. He soon discovered a passion for working with plants, rocks, and trees to create beautiful, natural landscapes.  Paul’s unique style and design creativity revealed themselves in transformed yards in the area. Most notably, numerous customers received landscaping recognition awards from various city beautification committees.  The awards and recognition along with satisfied customers only further solidified Nature-Scape’s strong reputation.  Gradually, Nature-Scape became a small family business serving Dearborn and its surrounding cities. Paul operates the business along with the help of his wife Kim, three sons, and employees.

Business Practices

      Through our 24 years of experiences, we discovered effective business methods that benefit both the customers and ourselves:

• Listen to the customer
      Every project we do offers unique challenges. By being attentive to the customer’s needs and concerns, we are able to offer design ideas that fit budgets and provide desired results.
• One job at a time
      Once we start a project, we work on that job until it is completed. Many contractors start two or three jobs at the same time. This approach causes each individual job to drag on and produces unhappy customers.
• Owner Operated
      From the beginning to the end of the project, you will deal directly with Paul, the owner, who does most of the work himself.  His high standards and attention to detail leave customers pleased and satisfied.
• Limited sub-contractors
      Except for the occasional use of a tree service to help us prepare a site, all worked performed on your job is done by Nature-Scape. This gives us greater control of scheduling and assures that the work gets done to our specifications.
• Follow up Service
      We know that the most important aspect of business success is keeping customers happy. Sometimes, issues arise after a completed job so we offer warranties on all our work and are proud to say that we honor them.
