Monthly care in Bloomfield Hills
On a Bloomfield Hills lot, monthly care is how the back corners get seen.
Big lots hide things. A weed patch behind the garage or a bed line going soft along the trees can run all season before you happen to walk back there. A monthly visit means someone is looking at those corners on purpose, and on the lots here that is half the value.
The woods edge keeps moving
Garlic mustard is one of the invasive plants the city's planning commission named in 2024, and the state's field guide says to pull it before it sets seed. A monthly visit catches it at the edge of the beds while it is still a small job.
Big trees drop a lot
Mature canopies rain sticks, seed and leaves into the beds all season. Clearing that out every month keeps the mulch looking like mulch, and keeps the beds from turning into a seed tray for next year's weeds.
Oaks get left alone until mid-July
Michigan's Department of Natural Resources says not to trim or prune oaks between April 15 and July 15, because beetles can carry oak wilt to fresh wounds. Oaks are on the city's landmark tree list too, so in that window the tools stay off them.
An extra set of eyes
A monthly visit puts someone in the beds often enough to see things early: a shrub browsed by deer, webbing in a boxwood, a low spot that stays wet. We tell you while it is still a small fix.
What you get
Steady care for the beds, shrubs and edges.
Monthly visits through the growing season look after the planted part of the yard. This is where most of the time goes.
- Weeding
Weeds pulled before they can seed the bed.
- Shrub shaping
Shrubs shaped so they hold their form and stay off the house and the walks.
- Edging
Edges cleaned up so beds and lawn keep a clear line.
- Tidying
Leaves, sticks and litter cleared from the beds and walks.
We do not do sprinklers or lawn aeration, and big tree removals are left to a tree company.

Decide on the walk which corners matter most.
Walk it with Jake and show him what you see from the house, then what sits out back. What a visit covers is then set on your estimate, itemized so each part has its own line. Most visits come down to weeding, shaping shrubs, edging and tidying. If the yard has gotten ahead of you, a cleanup or a hedge trim can come first, so the monthly visits keep it right and are not always catching up.
Some jobs sit outside a regular visit. Mulch and plant work can go on as their own lines. Pruning an oak is its own call, because of the state's spring and summer window. Any tree coming down starts with the city, and a big one is tree company work.

Questions
What people ask about monthly landscape maintenance in Bloomfield Hills.
If yours is not here, call or text (586) 718-8762.
Do you do monthly landscape maintenance in Bloomfield Hills?
Yes. HD Landscape does monthly landscape maintenance in Bloomfield Hills, MI. The regular work is weeding, shaping shrubs, edging and tidying, and on a lot this size the walk with Jake sorts out which beds and which parts of the property come first.
Is monthly maintenance worth it on a wooded lot?
Usually, if you have planted beds you care about. The woods keep sending seed, leaves and sticks into them, and a month is about as long as you want to leave that. If the yard is mostly natural woods with a few beds, a spring and fall cleanup may be enough, and Jake will say so.
How do you keep garlic mustard out of the beds?
Catch it early. The state's field guide says to pull garlic mustard before it produces seed and to take the upper half of the root, or it may resprout. Its seed stays viable for many years, so a patch along a Bloomfield Hills woods edge can take more than one season to wear down. Regular visits suit that job.
Will you prune my oaks on a monthly visit?
Not between April 15 and July 15, when the state says to leave oaks alone because of oak wilt. Oak pruning is better saved for the cold months, and Jake will tell you whether he can get to it then or who can. If an oak in Bloomfield Hills needs to come down, the city's building department is the first call.
Can monthly visits help with deer damage?
They help you see it early, though no visit stops deer. The Bloomfield Hills master plan names deer damage as a local problem, and Michigan State University Extension lists yew and arborvitae as favorite winter food. If a shrub keeps getting browsed, Jake can talk through netting or a swap for something deer tend to pass up.
