Residential Grounds Maintenance in Northern Michigan

Whether you own a second home or reside year-round in the Grand Traverse or Leelanau County area, life is busy. And let’s be honest, no one wants to spend their precious weekend time mowing the lawn or weeding landscape beds.

Our short-lived summer season should be spent enjoying everything our beautiful area has to offer.

We know you want your property to look great so the kids can play in the yard, you can host family get-togethers, or just so you can simply relax with your partner.

Our full-service landscape maintenance programs take the work and confusion out of maintaining your outdoor space.

One phone call to our experienced team takes care of all of your landscape maintenance needs and gets you back to doing what matters most. There’s no need to call a contractor to mow, a different contractor to fertilize, and another contractor to weed your beds; we handle all of your outdoor landscape needs.

Learn about the large variety of landscape maintenance services we offer to help you not only enjoy Northern Michigan but make your yard the envy of the neighborhood.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many times a month do you visit my property?

It depends on the services you have chosen. Lawn maintenance services such as mowing, trimming, and blowing are done weekly. We edge all of our properties bi-weekly, and most horticulture contracts are bi-weekly visits. Fertilization is usually done 5 times throughout the season and depends some on the weather! If you have full-service property maintenance, you will likely see someone from our team one to two times per week at your property.

We typically use a combination of both manual and chemical means to control weeds on your property. Any team member using chemicals is a certified pesticide applicator and is required to pass several tests and do continued education in the pesticide field. We suggest for every property mulching each year. We apply a pre-emergent chemical before laying mulch that helps start the season off well.

No, definitely not. As a business model however, we attempt to maintain the property as a whole whenever possible. We want your property to shine in each area possible, not just have a nicely mowed lawn.

We have trusted partners we call in for both of these services. We can work these services into your bid, but we call in experts in those two fields to help us out. Our team members can start up your system and make some minor repairs when necessary though!

We try to work with everyone’s scheduling requests the best we can. Our schedule is built to repeat itself every week or every other week—for horticulture services(Monday-Thursday) and you should see us on your property the same day nearly every week. We leave Fridays open for rain days so that if we are rained out we can be sure we still get to you!

We try our very best to not work weekends for the sake of our team and their families. At the beginning of the season or in the case of a whole lot of rain, we may visit your property on a weekend day. If this is going to happen, we try to give you as much notice as possible.

Each crew has a foreman, and he or she will introduce themselves to you and be available for questions and request. Please note that each team is there for a specific purpose, so additional jobs like removing a large tree usually cannot be done upon request at that moment. Our foreman will report back and get any additional services scheduled or addressed as needed. Feel free to ask for a walk through with our foreman and the beginning of the season so you can inform them of what is really important to you about your property. Our goal is to keep your property looking beautiful and the way you like it to look, so feel free to communicate with our team!
