About Us
The Story Of Morton Outdoor
While two very different people, Mazie and Dean figured out a way to merge one
another’s skills into a business.
Mazie’s love for landscaping and Dean’s love for excavating formed Morton Outdoor.
Mazie and Dean formed a team that can execute a plan and solve any problem, while making it aesthetically pleasing.
Our Mission
We strive to build community and give back.
Morton Outdoor wasn’t created to be your run of the mill company. Although we are committed to giving our clients a personal and meticulous connection to the contracting world, we started this business to empower ourselves and gain the ability to give back to people when we could. We believe that when you are given amazing opportunities you should in turn, give amazing opportunities.
Meet The Owners
Mazie
While working in her career as a legal professional, Mazie often caught herself daydreaming about redesigning the office landscaping.
While volunteering on numerous outdoor projects, Mazie gained a love for landscaping which she turned into the career she didn’t know she could have. Designing and transforming outdoor spaces into something beautiful quickly became one of her passions. Mazie is on a mission to help inspire and motivate other women to get their hands dirty and get outside.
Mazie always says that she is a girlie girl at heart but loves to play in the dirt.
Dean
Growing up on a small family farm, Dean loved the outdoors from the beginning.
After graduating from the Mechanical Engineering Technology program at Ferris State University, Dean started working for the Clinton County Drain Commissioner. At 22 years old, he learned drainage from numerous coworkers and colleagues that possessed lifetimes of experience. After spending 5 years as the Engineering Technician for the Clinton County Drain Commissioner, Dean put his knowledge to the test and started working for a contracting company that specialized in commercial work.
Feeling the entrepreneurial itch, Dean convinced his lovely wife, Mazie, that it was time for them to start a business of their own. That’s when, in 2022, Dean and Mazie dove headfirst into Morton Outdoor.

Empowering Women In The Industry

Join us as we pave the way for women to excel in the industry, proving that there are no limits to what we can achieve when we work together.
