Pillywiggins are headed back to work! Friday afternoon, April 24th, 2020 our Governor eased restrictions to allow landscaping work to resume. After our little happy dance, we were ready to go! Customers already on our wait list will have a Pillywiggin back in their gardens beginning Monday. We can hardly wait!

Yes, we're signing up new customers too!
(Pillywiggins have plenty of garden enchantment to share.)

Public Health & Safety

Pillywiggins love beautiful blossoms but our primary focus has always been creating and maintaining safe, healthy, environments for people, pets & wildlife. Pillywiggins are gardeners for life & we remain committed to this task. Pillywiggins Garden, LLC will operate within the guidelines of all Federal, State & local mandates to provide essential services to our customers and our community. We are taking every precaution to keep ourselves & others healthy and will strictly adhere to all safety protocols and government mandates currently in place or any that may follow.

Workplace Health & Safety

Pillywiggins mastered the art of social distancing long ago, preferring to go about their business unnoticed, leaving only their gardens behind as proof of their existence. Our business operates much the same way.

Pillywiggins prefer spending their time working in the gardens, not some stuffy office. We conduct most of our business electronically. It reduces our time in the office, it's more efficient, eco-friendly & GREEN! We can exchange project info, landscape designs, estimates, photos & videos online. Invoices are always emailed & multiple electronic payment options are accepted.

Health & Safety On The Job Site

  • We're no strangers to working & living out in the boonies. We come prepared. Our vehicles are always stocked with First Aid Kits, face masks, gloves, hand sanitizer, wet wipes, bottled water, paper towels & cleansers.
  • Many of our projects (especially Spring tasks) are completed by one Pillywiggin, just one, using his own tools of trade.
  • Most of our work sites are vacant this time of year. Feel free to call, text or email us with any questions or instructions. If you are home when we arrive, we will adhere to the 6' social distancing requirement.
  • Our suppliers are also taking extra safety precautions. Mulch, soil & plant materials will be ordered online & paid for electronically. Materials will be delivered on site and/or loaded onto our trailers without any physical contact between ourselves & our vendors.​
For more information on workplace safety, read
"Guidance on Preparing Workplaces for COVID-19" available online at OSHA.gov.

Psssst. Wanna Buy A Plant?

We don't keep additional plant stock on hand (yet) but we're happy to add on to one of our frequent orders. We purchase Michigan grown plants from Michigan based nurseries. The same trusted brands found elsewhere, available in more sizes & varieties, shipped fresh from our suppliers. Orders usually arrive within a week. Trees, shrubbery or perennials. Tell us what you're looking for, we'll track it down, deliver to your site and plant it for you too!

Protecting Ourselves, Our Community & Our Environment

A Message to Our Friends, Neighbors & Community,

Pillywiggins love beautiful blossoms but our primary focus has always been creating and maintaining safe, healthy, environments for people, pets & wildlife. Pillywiggins are gardeners for life & we remain committed to this task. Pillywiggins Garden, LLC will continue to operate within the guidelines of all Federal, State & local mandates to provide essential services to our customers and our community. We are taking every precaution to keep ourselves & others healthy and will strictly adhere to all safety protocols and government mandates that may follow.

​​Why are landscaping services essential? It's a matter of public health & safety.
  • Overgrowth along roadsides can interrupt utility services & creates traffic hazards by obstructing views & attracting wildlife.
  • Unmaintained lots attract rodents & other unwanted pests.
  • Routine maintenance helps control mosquitoes & ticks that can spread West Nile & Lyme Disease.
  • Preventative maintenance helps limit the spread of plant diseases & invasive species.​
  • Properly installed & maintained landscapes protect our homes, ourselves & our environment from harm & costly damage.
Pillywiggins mastered the art of social distancing long ago, preferring to go about their business unnoticed, leaving only their gardens behind as proof of their existence.
Our business operates much the same way. Pillywiggins Garden, LLC employs two Pillywiggins, my husband Jason & me. We work from our home-based office and are able to conduct the majority of our business without any physical contact with others. It's actually the norm for us!
  • Call or email us to discuss your needs.
  • Estimates will be shared via email.
  • Information, photos & videos can be shared via email, text or Facetime.
  • Electronic invoicing is standard.
  • Electronic payment options are available.

We will be focusing on the essential needs of our customers & our community.
  • Shoreline Permitting, Erosion Control & Shoreline Restoration
  • Spring Clean-Ups & Maintenance
  • Security Checks & Care-taking for Seasonal Homes
  • Gardening Assistance, Edible Landscapes, Forest & "Victory" Gardening

At this time, it is still uncertain how our supply chain will be effected. That being said, most of the materials we use are obtained locally and most can be obtained without direct physical contact. We are hopeful but prepared to make do with limited resources.
Spring is a time new beginnings. A time for growth & change.
Spring is also a time to be hopeful, for beautiful things are on the way.
Stay home, be safe and remain positive.

With Love, The Pillywiggins
