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!!

Please call for more information at 248-588-1694 or Click Here to use our Online Request to secure your spot, or get a free estimate!

Keep Your Shrubs Looking Beautiful All Season Long!

Shrub trimming should be done twice per season on average after the first round of growth in June/July and late in the season when the shrub is done growing for the season usually around September or October.

Shrub trimming has a number of positive effects for the shrubs 1) by removing dead leaves and branches you make room for new growth. 2) You are able to maintain the desired height and width, or shape if you so desire,  by staying on a regular maintenance schedule with your bushes. This also helps to keep shrubs/trees from growing into the side or roof of your home/garage before it’s too late. With the recent storms we have experienced many homes were damaged unnecessarily by dead limbs.

To maintain a nice shape both types of arborvitae should be regularly trimmed.

Keeping your bushes trimmed can help on both sides of the fence when comes to security, it can be used to create a nice privacy barrier for your backyard with a nice arborvitae hedge.  Pruning/trimming can also be used to your advantage to keep views from your windows unobstructed and give you clear line of sight to all areas of your property.

Is your home or business starting to look like a jungle?

Total Lawn Care has been helping customers control their unwanted vegetation since 1994, and we can do the same for you.

Don’t Let Your Troy Business Look Like This

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have a number of different solutions that can minimize weed activity on your property, and can be tailored to your budget. Total Lawn Care can visit your property as often as you see necessary to keep it looking great. Our horticulture professionals bring years of experience to your property and how to properly maintain it.

This is what a flower bed looks like after a visit from Total Lawn Care Inc.

 

During a typical garden visit your crew will edge out all natural garden bed edges, remove any unwanted weeds, cultivate the soil or mulch to assist in slowing down any weed growth.

We can also apply a chemical barrier if you want added protection from weeds sprouting back up. It is always better to catch weeds early on and stop them from spreading further into your turf or driving down your property value.
