Maintenance

We are in the garden so that you don’t need to be. Our clients like to come home from a long, busy day and be met with a tidy garden.  We take care of their plantings throughout all seasons, beginning with spring clean ups to closing the gardens for the winter months. Our staff of Master Gardeners is trained in proper maintenance techniques such as pruning, edging beds, dead-heading flowering plants for continuous blooms, as well as watering and fertilizing when needed.

We practice sustainable, environmentally friendly gardening methods. We select and grow plants that are Michigan hardy and resistant to pests and disease. We use organic materials to improve soil structure and prevent weed seeds from germinating. We practice chemical-free techniques such as hand weeding and applying organic insecticides. Our staff is licensed with the state of Michigan to practice the Integrated Pest Management Program, using minimal and strategic use of chemicals only when necessary.

Certified Arborist:
Our certified arborist is trained in the science of tree care, which includes proper pruning, planting, and maintenance. We know the value that well cared for trees can add to our client's property. We can determine the type of pruning necessary to improve the shape of the tree by thinning branches to increase light and removing any weak, diseased, or damaged branches that could pose potential hazards.

Plant Health Care:
We continue our education and stay up to date in the latest techniques of Plant Health Care, a concept of preventative maintenance that includes fertilization and disease control to keep trees and plants prosperous.
