Residential Landscaping Frequently Asked Questions
Maintenance & Care
In the Jackson and Lansing areas, we recommend scheduling your irrigation blowout between late September and the end of October. Waiting until the first hard freeze can lead to costly pipe bursts. EPM provides guaranteed winterization to ensure your residential & commercial system is protected against Michigan’s sub-zero temperatures.
For most residential lawns in Jackson and Chelsea, we recommend a weekly mowing schedule during the peak growing season (May–September). We follow the "one-third rule," never removing more than one-third of the grass blade at a time. This helps your lawn retain moisture, stay lush, and resist local pests.
Absolutely. At EPM, we prioritize family safety. For our liquid weed control or fertilization treatments, we simply ask that children and pets stay off the grass until the application is completely dry (usually 1–2 hours). Our technicians are trained to apply products precisely, ensuring a beautiful lawn without compromising safety.
No, EPM does not provide residential snow plowing and de-icing. However we do provide Commercial snow plowing and ice services to the Jackson Mi area. We offer automatic triggers, meaning when the snow hits a certain depth (typically 1 inches), our crews are dispatched to clear your parking lots and walkways immediately.
Landscape Design & Outdoor Living
Generally, a standard patio does not require a permit. EPM of Michigan handles the permitting process for our clients when needed.
The timeline depends on the scope and the time of the year. A design phase usually takes 2–4 weeks as we refine your vision. Installation for a standard patio might take 1–2 weeks, while a comprehensive outdoor living area can take 4–8 weeks. We recommend starting your design as soon as possible.
