Clippers Landscape & Supply

In 1986, Ed McIntosh founded a small residential landscaping company, Clippers. The first years were spent developing a customer base and a solid reputation. Clippers rapidly established itself as a quality contractor able to handle a wide variety of projects. The company grew, acquiring equipment and additional staff along the way. Clippers Lawn & Landscaping has grown into a professional, full-service lawn maintenance, landscaping and snow removal company known as a one of the premier full service landscaping companies in the area.

Winterizing your irrigation system is a must in SE Michigan. Water inside any aspect of your system can cause serious cracking and other damage when temperatures drop below freezing. Replacing damaged irrigation lines, heads, and backflow is time consuming, and can become costly. The best way to prevent this cracking (and the need for repairs) is to have Clippers winterize your entire system each fall. You can schedule your winterization by contacting us today.

Replacing heads, repairing cut lines, re-configuring zones, changing the controller, and more.

Keep nuisance pests from crawling inside your home. Our program includes 4 treatments applied to your turf, soil, bed material and shrubbery 4-6 feet out from the edge of the foundation and 2-3 feet up your foundation. The entire perimeter of your home is treated. In addition, perimeter treatments can also help protect your valuable landscape from some plant eating insects.

Lawn aerating helps your lawn breathe; thus the name aeration. There are two ways you can aerate your lawn - spike aeration or core aeration. Spike aeration is done with a roller that has spikes in it, while core aeration, also known as plug aeration, is done with holes "cored" out of the soil. Core aerators, generally speaking, do a more thorough aeration job than spike aeration. Depending on your type of grass, there are optimal times of the year to aerate your lawn. If you have a warm season grass like Buffalo or Bermuda grass, you should aerate towards the end of spring, just prior to the lawn's peak growing season.
