T.O.M.S. Total Outdoor Maintenance Service in Traverse City

From the beginning, TOMS was professional and responsive for our hydroseeding inquiry. Tom provided all of the information we needed to get started including pricing and step by step instructions. By the time we booked, he was out within the next week to seed. The whole process was quick and easy! His 40+ years in the business don't go unnoticed. He was beyond helpful in answering all of our questions. He even came back to reseed the washed out areas after an unexpected torrential down pour a few days after application. 10/10 would recommend.

My experience with Tom’s has been nothing short of amazing. He is so customer oriented and responsive. He did our entire lawn in Empire that had to start from scratch after our renovation. It was filled with weeds and nothing else. He took care of all the weeds for no extra charge and then did a splendid job of hydro seeding. That was impressive enough but then we had a water pipe break in the yard and he said it wasn’t my fault so he would come and fix the part that was destroyed by the leak for free. Great quality. Great customer service. I highly recommend him. ( i generally dont write reviews but my experience was so extraordinary i was inspired to write one)

Our experience with T.O.M.S. service has been nothing but positive. We had our (relatively small) yard hydroseeded about 4 weeks ago and it's really starting to fill in nicely. T.O.M.S. has been by our house 3 times check up on the progress of our lawn and address any concerns and issues we've had. We did have a few bare patches that weren't coming in very well and not only did he do a little broadcast seeding in those spots, he came back to hydroseed them at no additional cost to us. It's been very obvious to us that T.O.M.S takes pride in their work, stands behind their service, and wants nothing more than for us to be completely satisfied. His communication and response time has been very timely and professional. I could go on and on about how happy we are with this service, so needless to say, we would highly recommend T.O.M.S for any hydroseeding or lawn care needs!

T.O.M.S. is an incredible company! We called him for our large hydro seeding job. He was very professional and provided us a quote, and performed our job quickly with amazing results. I would not hesitate to use him for your hydro seeding needs. He has a extensive knowledge in all aspects of lawn care as well. He has also given us great advice with respect to landscaping needs and fertilizing. All we can say is WOW--we were so lucky to have him help us with our new lawn.

We had a new build in TC with a challenging lot with about 18,000 sq ft of dirt and sand. TOMS showed up gave us a fair quote at a very reasonable price, and we scheduled a date. They showed up on time, very friendly, and got the job done pretty quick. I have steep hills that required hay mat to be applied that I bought. Once the rear and hills were sprayed, they stopped mid job and helped me roll out and staple them to the hill no charge. Once the hay was down they sprayed extra to help it hold down gratis. They did a great job on the lawn, was available anytime I had water or fertilizer questions, and 5 weeks later we had grass. I just reached out to TOMS last week as we had some spots that struggled to grow and they came back out for a free touch up to "make it right, and ensure I was 100% happy". I recommend highly recommend them. They work hard, treat you fairly, and want to make sure you are satisfied even after application.

Tom did a fabulous job with the grading and lawn on our new build. I could tell from the moment we met that he is extremely passionate about doing good work. He took the time to explain in detail the entire process, from raking to grading to topsoil, how to make our trees happiest, how to kill and prevent weeds. Above all, he explained exactly how to care for our new lawn and promised realistic results. Good people and a great service. UPDATE: It's now been 5 weeks since hydroseeding. Even with very heavy and disruptive rains right after seeding, the lawn is filling in nicely. For our 3-week fertilization, I called Tom for advice finding a specific formula. Turns out, he had stopped by to check on our progress, and recommended triple-19 for our sandy soil. He even went so far as to tell me what spreader setting to use. Results have been great and the lawn is off like a rocket. Even the spots that I had thought washed out are filling in. Growing a lawn from scratch takes a lot of patience, and I'm glad there are people like Tom who care enough to do good work and help us first-timers figure it out.

I built my home in 2018. Unfortunately my yard never looked great. I finally called in then professionals after repeated failures on my end. Tom can out and evaluated my yard and immediately went to work on a plan. I was expecting to pay thousands. Tom got it done for under $200. A few weeks later we are seeing enormous gains. I can not recommend T.O.M.S enough. Tom the owner is honest, and dependable.

I hired T.O.M.S. to hydroseed my yard last summer and they did an excellent job. Unfortunately, after a long winter and perhaps inadequate watering on my behalf, the lawn didn't bounce back very well this spring. After leaving a message about my situation the owner, Tom, personally called me and came to my home on the exact same morning to assess the situation. With no questions asked, Tom re-seeded the parts of the lawn that needed repair, helped me program my irrigation to better deal with the current dry conditions and gave me tips on how to best fertilizer my lawn for the rest of the season. I highly recommend T.O.M.S. to anyone who values a quality product backed by best in class customer service. Thanks again, Tom!
