We contracted with Michael Spence and Trillium Gardens this past summer to assist with our yard maintenance, general pruning, leaf clean up, a landscaping project, and extensive mulching (to be completed in late spring 2021). We have been so pleased with Michael and his team. They are such a pleasure to work with regularly, and are responsive, reliable and very professional.
We are pleased to highly recommend Michael and Trillium Gardens, and we look forward to working with them in 2021.

Michael and his crew have worked on our property for a number of years now, and we have been very pleased with their care and professionalism. Most recently, they cleaned the leaves from the beds and yard. I was amazed at how great it all looked when they were finished.

Michael and his team are extremely knowledgable and professional. We have been using Trillium Gardens for several years for yard maintenance and landscape design and planting. Michael was able to find native plants and trees and create a design that has turned our yard into a paradise! You won't be disappointed getting Trillium Gardens to help beautify your yard.

We use Trillium Gardens for monthly yard maintenance and cleaning, and we could not be happier with the service. Michael and team are always on time, the price is fair, and the work great. Could not recommend more highly, and excited to use Trillium Gardens for more substantial and creative projects in the future.

I've been lucky to have Michael and Trillium work on my yard for a couple of years. They are responsive to my changing needs and I so appreciate their flexibility. From mulching to dealing with "critters", from perfect grooming to severe (or gentle) pruning, they do it all and do it well. I also appreciate his honesty - if I don't need a service, he'll be the first to say so. This professionalism has led to a great deal of trust. His crew is incredibly patient with me while maintaining a sense of humor. Working with Trillium is all around a wonderful experience!

Can not say enough wonderful things about Michael and Taylor at Trillium Gardens. They listened in our consultation to what our frustrations were, designed a proposal that addressed those concerns and exceeding anything we could have hoped for with our landscaping. I love that the also offer maintenance programs so we don’t have to worry about it. Great communication! Thoughtful designs! Great people to know and work with!
Ready to start on our next project

This past fall, Trillium Gardens landscaped both my front, back and side yards. Michael Spence was a pleasure to work with on this project. I gave him an idea of what I was looking for and, in turn, received a beautiful landscape plan for my property. Michael was always available to answer my email questions in a timely manner. On the date given, Michael and crew were on time, all plants had been delivered, old landscape removed and new landscaping completed.
I highly recommend Michael and Truillium Gardens. Their customer service, knowledge and professionalism is beyond reproach.

I hired Michael.... a very knowledgeable and professional landscaper. Great background with a degree in Horticulture and experience managing the shrubbery/tree department at Strange’s Nursery for some time. He designed a beautiful garden for my Fan home...complete with drawings and descriptions of every plant and shrub. I have retained Michael and his crew for maintenance on a monthly basis. They built a wonderful raised bed at the front of my house this year...and I am very happy with the result! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this wonderful group of professional landscapers! Reasonably priced, dependable and very competent!

Michael and staff are always so polite and professional. We have 2 service maintenance contracts (mowing, trimming, pruning, gardening, poison ivy, pathways) with them and they always deliver quality work. One of the sites has poor access and they were able to work around it, where other contractors flat out told us "no". We were also able to edit and add to our needs in the middle of the busy season and they did everything they could to accommodate our request. They also take extra time when requested to do additional items. We switched to Trillium and got a better deal and higher quality result. We have been working with them for over 2 years now and they continue to deliver quality and professionalism.

I can't say enough about how happy we are with Michael and his crew. Our yard was quite an overwhelming mess but is now beautiful and inviting. After discussing our landscaping wishes with Michael, it was very evident he had really listened and put a lot of thought into the design and how to best handle our landscaping issues and wishes. He and his crew have also helped us to maintain the landscaping - they are always friendly and professional and clearly care about the work. Prior to working with Michael, we tried a couple of landscaping companies but we just weren't ever satisfied for different reasons. We are so glad that Michael was recommended to us - he is absolutely our go-to guy now! We highly recommend him!

We highly recommend Trillium Gardens for your landscaping project. From planning to planting Micheal was available to us to provide knowledgeable insight and feedback on what we were looking for and what would be feasible for our land. He helped us to create what we wanted within our budget. We were provided with detailed instructions on how to care for what was planted, so that we may enjoy for years to come. Micheal and his crew were professional, timely, and knowledgeable.

I am thrilled to have this opportunity to post a review about Trillium Gardens, Michael, and Michael's crew. When you're done reading this, please look at the pictures in the album called "King William Country Retreat"!
Last December I was looking for a Landscaping company to help me with augmenting and expanding my gardens, and advice on what we could do for our lawn - which was basically all dirt with some weeds. I called Colesville Nursery and asked for a recommendation, and without any hesitation, they said I should call Michael.
I told Michael what I was looking to do, and he said he would send out a member of his team to talk with me, evaluate our property, and ultimately develop a plan and estimate to meet our goals.
Not long after that Jason came out and we talked at great length as we walked around my yard and gardens. He listened and made extensive notes, taking his time to be very thorough.
Two weeks later I had a cost estimate for materials and labor in my email box from Michael. All aspects of what Jason and I discussed were reflected in the estimate, and I agreed to all charges and the timing to have the landscaping completed.
Yard work and garden preparations were scheduled for two days in February 2019, and they finished the planting, tidying up, and mulching two days in the middle of March, 2019.
Michael and his team are not only professional with a strong work ethic, they are friendly, fun, and kind! My husband is in the middle stages of dementia and he wanted to do something to help the crew with the work they were doing, so the guys just took him under their wings and let him shovel mulch into their wheelbarrows the last day they were here. I can't tell you how awesome these guys are!!!
Lastly, let me say: do yourself a favor and have these guys handle your plant choices and landscaping for you.....you will never have a better experience with any other business out there...GUARANTEED!!

We hired Michael and his team to get our yard ready so we could take photos to put our house on the market. He worked quickly within the deadline, required very little direction and our 1/2 acre looked amazing! We received several compliments from our neighbors. I would definitely hire Trillium gardens again.

Our back and side yards had overgrown into an unattractive mess; Michael and his crew have worked with us to correct that over time -- it is an on-going project.
He knows his business and is very easy to work with; Trillium will be there on time, work efficiently, and leave the place looking clean and neat. I am very glad we found this company!

Michael did some work on our home while we got ready to put our house on the market. He was communicative and did all the work (and more) without me being there to provide feedback or guidance. I was very pleased with his professionalism. Fair prices, quality work, great communication. Highly recommended!

Michael was fantastic to work with. We already had a design plan for our backyard and just needed him to order and plant the plants and lay sod. Michael was willing to work within our budget and completed the project in 2 phases to give us time to build up more savings for phase 2. He was prompt and listened to all of our ideas. We are so pleased with our backyard transformation and would hire him again!

Michael Spence with Trillium Gardens did a fantastic job making over our front yard! Initially he came to our home for a consultation to determine what could be done. He provided a quote within a week and upon our acceptance of the quote, he scheduled our job for completion. We would certainly hire him again and definitely recommend him!
