About Us

 

Since 1986, Shades of Green has provided a wide array of exceptional quality plants and personal service in the heart of Rochester Hills, Michigan. Each year we strive to enhance the nursery setting, carry unique plant material and garden accessories, and provide educational programs to give our guests ideas they can incorporate in their own garden.

 

Design Team

At Shades of Green, the in house design team is responsible for all of our commercial and residential landscape design projects, from concept to the installation. Educated and knowledgeable in their field, the team brings fresh, exciting life to the yards of new homes and existing homes in need of landscape renovations.  When you call Shades of Green for a landscape design or consultation, you will have the opportunity to work closely with a designer to develop a landscape design that perfectly suits you and your lifestyle!

 

 

 

Nursery Staff 

The nursery staff is continually attending seminars, trade shows and other industry classes in order to offer our guests the latest knowledge and service.  Like a well-tended garden, our staff is enriched with Michigan Certified Nurserymen, Master Gardeners, landscape designers, certified pesticide applicators and certified arborists.  Gardening is the first passion of all the staff at Shades of Green.  Just ask any one of them about their personal garden and they will be delighted to share their experiences!  When you visit Shades of Green, you also may get the chance to meet Maya, Orley & Ebony, the Shades of Green mascots.

  

Landscaping Crew

Many of the team members on the landscaping crew have been employed by Shades of Green for five years or more.  Not only do they bring experience to each job, they perform their work in an energetic and conscientious manner.  Each day they set out with drive, determination, and stamina to perform jobs that are hot, dirty, and hard.  The crews’ professionalism guarantees each project becomes a masterpiece!  Due to ever-growing demands, we have divided our men into three crews: the landscaping crew, the brick crew and the maintenance crew.

 

  

HOURS

 

Business hours at Shades of Green vary depending on season.  We remain open through the fall, and continue with plantings and landscape installations until the ground has frozen.  We are also available year-round (by appointment) to assist you with a landscape design.  Please call ahead for our most current hours, or to make an appointment.  Our telephone number is 248.651.1620.
