KEEP YOUR LANDSCAPE BEAUTIFUL YEAR-ROUND
Drost offers fully customizable, year-round maintenance plans that are tailored to your lifestyle. Whether you live in northern Michigan year-round or are a seasonal resident, Drost ensures your home will always look its best. A custom maintenance plan covers four seasons, from landscape and lawn care services to snow and ice removal. Plans can be crafted for visits weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly.
Some services, such as pruning, span multiple seasons. For example, pruning occurs at different times of the year based on the type of plant. Woody shrubs need to be trimmed just after they flower while other trees and blooming perennials need to be pruned in the height of summer, or during a dormant period. Disease and pest management are also tailored for multiple seasons.
