Miller's Landscaping Materials

Retaining walls are the "backbone" of many well-designed landscapes. They provide important stability for walks and patios, create useable spaces out of steeply sloped sites and add stunning dimension to an otherwise flat terrain. Plants are the essence of any landscape and they are as varied as the people who enjoy them. From the spectacular maples that emblazon the roadways in the fall, to the blankets of blue phlox that announce the arrival of spring, Michigan's plant palette is delightfully vast.

Landscape lighting has slowly increased in popularity over the years but it still does not get as much credit as it deserves for what it can do to the look, feel, and use of a space. Landscape lighting systems are more advanced than ever. They are highly efficient, long lasting, completely customize-able, and work automatically. Any space around your home or business can benefit from being lit properly. Whether you would like the additional safety and security that lighting provides or the beauty and finished look that it provides, there is a solution to enhance any space.

Are your summer watering bills higher than you'd like? Are your plants or lawn turning brown or maybe yellow? Could runoff from your lawn be harming local lakes and rivers? Irrigation systems help us properly care for and maintain our homes and businesses and it's important to keep them running optimally. Over time, sprinkler systems may lose their effectiveness for a variety of reasons. One of the most common issues that change the effectiveness of an irrigation system is simply plant growth. Plants that grow over time can block sprinkler head spray patterns, causing dry spots in a lawn or flower bed.

Lawns are comprised of millions of individual plants, each craving the proper amount of water, nutrients and sunlight to thrive. The health of your lawn areas is critical to the overall appearance of your landscape and it is our mission to provide optimal care for your lawn areas. In order to achieve a healthy, lush, deep green lawn it is important to apply the correct fertilizers and weed control products at the right time of the year. Invasive weeds crowd grass and steal valuable nutrients, water and sunlight from your lawn.

We seem to be naturally drawn to the water: the oceans, the rivers, and the beaches. The soothing visual effects and the relaxing sounds create an atmosphere of peace. Nature seems to accomplish this effortlessly. You will sense this same tranquility with a naturally designed water garden by Miller Landscape, Inc. The stone, plants, perennials and aquatic plants combine with the sounds of falling water to create an oasis for all to enjoy. Water features can be "carved" out of an existing patio or landscape, or developed into a major focal point of a new landscape.

Proper care of your system protects your investment in both your system and the landscape it nurtures. Miller Landscape has a designated team to manage and maintain every aspect of your sprinkler system here in the great state of Michigan.

We will make sure you are honoring local water ordinances while providing the right amount of moisture to your lawn and plants.

Instead of working around your deck to create your dream landscape, we can offer a cohesive plan that makes the deck an integral part of your overall landscape plan. Being a landscape company, we design and build decks to integrate with your new or existing landscape. We can offer innovative designs that incorporate things that a deck builder simply cannot. Items such as matching, custom brick pillars like in the example below, require a landscape touch. Using the right trees to provide shade or privacy, incorporating water features, planter boxes, lighting, irrigation and other creative features can be achieved through smart design that is landscape focused.

Please check out some of the design samples above and below, all of which are from real customers. When you choose Miller Landscape for your Landscape Design, you will be provided with not only a 2D print of the design, but a variety of 3D still shots from every angle and a full 3D walk through of your proposed design. We believe that good communication is critical in maintaining a good working relationship. Our 3D design software has allowed us to communicate on an entirely different level than what most customers are used to.

Although it may appear to be a simple task, proper pruning requires knowledge of a plant's natural characteristics, skill, an eye for balance and the correct implements. When you have Miller Landscape prune your plant material, you can trust that it will be done at an optimal time of year, by trained staff who will groom your landscape with care and precision. Different plants should be pruned at different times of the year. For example, plants grown mainly for their colorful foliage such as burning bush and barberry should be pruned in early spring before new growth emerges while early flowering plants, such as lilac and cherry trees, should be pruned after they finish flowering.
