DETROIT – The landscaping outside of The Thome Rivertown Neighborhood senior living facility on McDougall Street in Detroit was done by a Black-owned business. “Landscaping is the first impression that people get when they pull up to your facility,” explained Dexter Erves. HD Landscaping, a full services landscaping company, does it all. Dexter explained the challenges they’ve faced being a Black-owned business. “I was fortunate enough to do some work for the federal government as a GSA contractor,” Dexter explained.
