About Us
Welcome to The Beach Grass Planting Service, a family-owned business focused on planting and preserving Lake Michigan’s most iconic natural grass.
Beach grass is more than just erosion control. It is a beautiful, no-maintenance grass that helps stabilize dunes, protect shoreline property, and create a natural, set-it-and-forget-it landscape around your home. As a staple of Lake Michigan, beach grass has long been part of what makes the shoreline both functional and beautiful, and we are passionate about helping bring it back and expand its presence.
Our Story
I, Wilson Rottschafer started The Beach Grass Planting Service in 2020, but the roots of this work go back much further in my family. My dad was planting beach grass more than 35 years ago, and that history helped inspire me to build a business around bringing this beautiful grass back and expanding its presence along Lake Michigan.
To us, beach grass is not just practical, it is part of what makes Lake Michigan special. It is tough, beautiful, native to the region, and once established, it offers a permanent natural look without the constant upkeep of traditional landscaping.
Today, we work with homeowners, builders, and property owners who want a practical and attractive way to protect their dunes, reinforce sandy areas, and add a lasting, natural landscape around their home.
Whether the goal is erosion control, dune restoration, or simple no-maintenance beauty, we take pride in planting beach grass the right way and helping preserve a signature part of Lake Michigan for generations.
Testimonials
Excellent plant quality/Good size plants/Strong work ethic/hard working and reliable/reasonably priced/highly recommend and will use again if necessary/great team!
Beach Grass Planting Service was contacted by our homeowners association to plant dune grass on an easement along Lake Michigan after revetment work, due to erosion, was completed in 2022.
I was very impressed with the service provided by Wilson and Luke. They were diligent, responsibly and hard working guys who did a fantastic job.
The grass they used was of high quality, plantings were 8” apart and all done at a GREAT price! The dune is now well populated with the grass, looks amazing and is inviting to all who access the beach for a day in the sun. I cannot say enough good things about this company and highly recommend these hardworking guys!
