Before Total Lawn Care

Are you planning to enhance or create a functional landscape at your property? Let us work with you to design the blueprint of your dreams.  From outdoor patios, kitchens and dining areas to the right shade or flowering trees, evergreens, shrubs and perennials, we’re excited about generating the best solutions, for your project whether it is large or small.

Sometimes, it’s a jungle out there!  If the plants in your yard are overgrown or uninspiring, let’s replace them with hearty, bright, colorful or fragrant blooming plants that are right for the spaces and exposures you have.

Among several other plants from this project, there was a magnificent hedge row of Viburnum ‘Willowwood that provide an excellent screening in a shady corner of the property, along with a 16-18 foot Serbian Spruce with its natural, loose and slightly weeping form, it remains as a spectacular compliment and anchor piece in this landscape.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With so many different varieties of stone products the choices really are endless.  Sometimes our customers have researched and know exactly what they want, while many times the exciting part is working with a professional to identify the exact right product.

This is the finished portion of Royal Oak Phase 1 back yard project.  The plan was to clean up the overgrown space, create paths and patio space that all tie together and allow for enjoyable low maintenance garden spaces. When we come back, it will be to incorporate various ornamental trees, shrubs and perennials to complete the open spaces.

Spring Clean 2015

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAThe official first day of Spring is almost here! Soon, the early Spring bulbs will be revealing their heads telling us Spring has sprung! The melting snow has uncovered all the debris that has accumulated on our lawns and in our landscape beds. The warmer weather calls for outdoor activities like baseball, bike riding, BBQ’s and Spring Cleaning.

Let Total lawn Care take over some of your chores by doing a Spring Clean of your landscape so you can get on with the fun stuff. With a basic Spring Clean we will remove any annuals and perennials from last fall, clear out all debris from your lawn and landscape beds, mow the grass and trim the edges. All the debris is brought back to our facility and recycled into compost.

If you really want to make your landscape sparkle, we can trim your shrubs, prune out winter damage, install mulch and prepare your beds for Summer annuals. If you forgot to clean your gutters last Fall, we can do that too. One company to handle multiple jobs makes it very easy to make your landscape the star of the neighborhood.

Total Lawn Care’s 21st Season!

If you are considering an enhancement or renovation project this year, please help us to give your project preference by calling early to plan with one of our staff professionals.

Updates as we prepare for our 21st season!

Lower fuel prices mean that there will be NO price increases to the services contracts and we will not apply fuel surcharges unless gas rises above $3.20/gal. We continue to explore viable, alternative fuel sources and new technologies to help keep prices down and lower fuel emissions.

Phase 2 of the landscape installation project at Mahle’s World Headquarters is complete and was awarded The Farmington Hills Beautification Award for the ‘creation of a beautiful place to work and live’.

We took in over 750 tons of compostable material and processed it into rich, fertile and repurposed compost, which was thereby diverted from our landfills.

We remain steadfastly committed to the promotion of The Healthy Lawn Care Program. See enclosed program details.

There are four MGIA/Professional Land Care Landscape Certified Technicians, one International Society of Arboriculture Certified Arborist and one Michigan Nursery and Landscape Certified Green Industry Professional on staff this season and we continue to promote furthering education, training and development for all of our team members.
Looking forward to seeing you this spring!!
