Company Philosophy

The responsibilities of managing turfgrass, ornamentals, and other landscapes while protecting the environment are very challenging. We take these responsibilities seriously and commit to applying best practice standards in all our applications. As such, a premium is placed on the skill level, professionalism, and industry expertise of our team. As depicted above, we believe that we meet all the criteria required to function at a high level and in accordance with the standards and expectations of our clients.

Committed to Our Clients

We consider our clients partners in the same way we strive to be partners to our vendors. Gratiot Landscaping’s commitment to client relationships appears to be somewhat unusual within the Green Industry. Many other companies place profits over customer service and service quality. With no outside stockholders or investors to answer to, Gratiot Landscaping has the freedom to do what’s right for our clients. Pink Flowers Gratiot Landscaping proudly offers customized service in an industry of “big box providers.” While other companies focus on pursuing as many contracts as possible, we focus on satisfying the needs of existing clients before pursuing new ones. This very real commitment to 100% client satisfaction is what separates Gratiot Landscaping from others in the industry, and it’s the primary reason we have never lost a client through a competitive rebid process.

Flexible, Thorough, and Intimate

We are flexible in that we design our programs to meet the specific needs of each client. Gratiot Landscaping recognizes that the combination of location, scope of services, financial pressures, and timing create unique needs for each client. Although we develop our programs in response to a client’s request for service, as we get to know their property and its specific issues, we work collaboratively with them to constantly improve their program. We are thorough in making sure that our programs conform to all appropriate standards and completely satisfy our clients’ needs.

What enables us to be responsive to our clients is our willingness to get to know them and their concerns. This intimacy is a direct result of the continuous efforts of Gratiot Landscaping’s leadership to spend time with clients. In addition to the daily operating relationships that develop naturally between clients and Gratiot Landscaping’s site personnel, our Quality Improvement Coordinator makes a concerted effort to visit each site on a regular basis to get to know our clients and their needs. If you’re wondering, “Who offers yard maintenance near me?” you’ve come to the right place. Our local landscapers can handle everything from tree trimming and yard maintenance to landscape design.

Addressing Clients' Concerns with Meaningful Solutions

One of Gratiot Landscaping’s greatest strengths is our ability to listen to clients and develop meaningful solutions that address their concerns. We serve our clients well because we understand their concerns for:
  • Budget and Cost Issues
Gratiot Landscaping continuously looks for cost savings (without jeopardizing service, quality, and plant health) by adapting staffing mix and managing services to ensure that only necessary service is rendered.
  • Transparency
We are committed to fairness and transparency, which has led to strong relationships with our clients. Our price proposal is an example of this transparency, which clearly details the cost for the requested services.
  • Trust
The foundation of any successful partnership is trust. Our clients may not always like what we have to say, but they can count on us being honest with them. We believe in sharing news — both good and bad — as soon as we can so that we can address issues in an open and constructive manner.
  • Flexibility
Gratiot Landscaping is not a large provider with multiple levels of bureaucracy and committees and boards and approvals. We are a flexible, thorough, and intimate lawn care provider. We can make changes when we need to, and you will know the people you need to talk to should a problem arise.
