Hired Salient on many projects and their team has performed top notch work on all of them. The largest was installing a commercial grade drainage system near a berm and relaying our patio pavers. They have a monthly pruning and mulch bed maintenance program I've used that keeps up on the exterior of our home that is also outstanding. I would highly recommend them for your home or business! We found Salient via Angie's List and are so glad we did. They removed all (there was a lot) of weeds, put down mulch, and trimmed the trees and bushes on our property.

Some of the greatest homes can be ruined by a complete lack of backyard or front yard privacy or containment of pets or animals via a fence of some kind. Salient Landscaping installs fences of all kinds: wood, aluminum, vinyl, wrought iron, steel, chain link, and mason brick walls. A privacy fence can bring a level of relaxation to your backyard evening activities by helping you and your guests feel like there is nobody else around. They are also a great way to keep pets and kids safe and out of the street where you can keep an eye on them.
Nothing ruins bottom lines like dandelions. There are two times each year when having a good lawn specialist at your fingertips can mean the difference between a fully-occupied property and vacancies: spring and fall. The secret to perfect weed control is having a grass expert looking at your lawn every week. At Salient Landscaping, we train our mowing foremen on lawn diseases, insect problems, and weed identification. Since they will be there every single week, consider yourself protected from anything that might cost you thousands of dollars to repair when you hire us to maintain your site.
We carefully inspect every site after snow removal operations to make sure they are perfect, and if they are not, we will return to touch-up so your property is safe. Getting the job done right the first time is our motto. Snow removal is the most important part of outdoor maintenance in this part of the country, with no room for mistakes. We design a specific plan for each site to ensure the quickest and most efficient point of action during snow emergencies. By watching weather patterns, using satellite forecasting, and state-of-the-art equipment, our professional crews are able to clear snow without disrupting your business, or your life.
Even the smallest amount of snow can cause ice later. No matter what your expectation level, we have a package that's right for your budget and your situation. Try to get your snow contract requirements out early as we are fairly booked by the first week of November. Don't let mother nature catch you off guard. Keep Clean Service is the most intensive service we can provide for residential snow removal clients. Standard Trigger Depth is 1.5″ for most Michigan customers. For a larger snowfall in excess of 4″, we will wait for a few inches of accumulation if we can to limit the number of pushes it takes to clean the snow in the most efficient manor.
Having an expert at your fingertips makes getting your lawn in order much easier. With some of the best lawn specialists in the business, we can turn a sad lawn into a lush, green one in as little as one season. All you have to do is follow a few simple watering and mowing instructions and Salient Landscaping will do the rest! Does your lawn have spots or rings? Are there patches that are dead or declining? Insect problems? Getting answers can be as simple as snapping a few photos with your smartphone and texting or emailing them to our service team for diagnostics and an estimate.
Salient Landscaping knows that correct mowing practices assure strong, healthy, manicured turfgrass. This by-in-large increases the aesthetic beauty and value of your property. A diverse list of clients depend on Salient to maintain the overall appearance of their properties: residential customers, condominium complexes, industrial sites, business parks, apartments, shopping centers, school systems, hotels, municipal properties, athletic fields, and entertainment venues. Our experts work hard to determine the most efficient and realistic means to meet and exceed your landscape maintenance expectations.
Watch as the experts at Salient Landscaping trim and shape your plants into their intended size and appropriate shape. Whether you would like plants to be trimmed to their textbook shape and size, or if you want our teams to shape them into a hedge, a ball, or a cube, let us get your trees and shrubs into working order. We recommend a light haircut twice per year with the initial trimming in the early summer (late May, early June) and the second one six-to-eight weeks later. If you want a more high-end look, an initial trimming in the early spring (April) would be added into the typical prune and trim schedule.
Commercial landscapes can be tricky to design. A designer may want to beautify a site to the hilt, but the property manager still has to make sure the traffic flow through the site isn't cumbersome because of an unrealistic design. That's why we stand behind our 3D design services for commercial site development and restoration. The tenant, manager, and owner can all have a look at the project long before it's completed and can give input on both the visual appeal of the proposed landscape installation, and where movement through the site can be improved.
These are just a few of the fence types we can install on your property. A fence can make such a big impact. Maybe you are trying to keep animals out or keep them in, get privacy from an ugly neighboring site, repairing a few panels, or just replace an entire existing dilapidated fence. Whatever the purpose, our fence installers have a keen eye on quality. Your fence will be level, straight, and as sturdy as it can possibly be when you have one of our fence teams install it right the first time.
Designing your outdoor space is not for the faint of heart. Anyone can tell you what plants are pretty where and how to match your patio brick with your house brick. The great designers at Salient know what side of the property specific plants will flourish. They know what plants cannot be planted too close, how big your plants will be at maturity, and what goes well given the amount of sunlight you can get in different parts of your property. We know what's getting infested by insects and diseases at the current moment.
If you have the luxury of having automatic sprinklers, you probably already know that they not only save money on watering your lawn and landscape beds, but they are very easy to forget about. Figuring out how many minutes for which zone based on what type of plants you are watering is already a little tricky. Add in Mother Nature's haphazard rain schedule and it can ruin all the planning in the world. Lucky for you the expert irrigation specialists at Salient Landscaping are on duty to help you with your irrigation woes.
