Horticultural Integrity and Sustainablilty: Rootnote is known for intriguing and inspiring plant choices that speak to the space that is available. Your ecosystem and micro-climate are carefully considered in choosing the species and placement so that all plantings will not only survive but thrive! I am pleased to share that my landscape and plantings have maintained a 94% overall survival rate in my 4 years of business. That is no exaggeration. Among my favorite success stories, is at Showboat Park in Chesaning, where I planted 120 12-14' trees in 2013. Those trees went thru the two worst winters in Michigan history, back to back, and I am proud to say that all 120 are doing extremely well, in part due to careful, detailed planting, AND my "custom tree care program." All that said, I do offer a 1 year warranty should anything falter. Painting With Plants: What is the best part of my job? Why do I love it so much? There are a lot of things that come to mind, but #1, I am an artist and my passion for creating beautiful landscapes allows me to express my artistic ambitions and abilities. When consulting with customers I often refer to "painting with plants". This phrase best describes what I do, as I balance deciduous and evergreen textures, with magnificent variations of bloom time and eye catching seasonal color that create a visually appealing "painting" from April thru November. That said, I do have plants and designs that feature winter appeal as well. Earth Smart Integrity: At the end of the day, creating oxygen through the beautification and maximization of plants is an unforseen dividend of my work that I take seriously. We literally "plant life" and with that comes a responsibility to not destroy life in the process. That is why Rootnote fertilizes and enhances with 100% organic options like Organibliss foliar spray, and OrganiSuperSoil. These are both fantastic, natural, plant based products that have led to my incredible survival rate, extended bloom time and overall health and vigor of Rootnote plantings. Better yet, these are both local Michigan made products, which I can sell to you directly if desired. In addition, we also prefer the manual practices of sod removal and weed pulling as opposed to the heavy use of glysophate laden Roundup and other ecologically irresponsible chemicals or unnecessary synthetic fertilizers. Rootnote has a commitment to the Earth and its future! Customer Satisfaction: Satisfying the customer is at the root of all that our team does. Your needs and wants are listened to and are formulated into landscapes that are not only breathtaking but also deliver all the basic functions that your home and family requires. Getting to know my customer and their preferences is a rewarding process that allows me to shepherd that customers satisfaction as they witness a staggering transformation from baseline to harmonious balance and beauty. It is a phenomenal feeling to rip out a tired, old, overgrown landscape, and replace it with a sensation station of horticultural zen that stimulates a positive emotion AND increases the value of your home or property. That is precisely our mission;)!
