Long ago in 1986, Dan and Jane Riddle began a landscape contracting
business named Timberscapes, which operated out of their house in Saline.
The business kept growing, and in 1987, the 18-acre property (which was a
cow pasture at the time) at the corner of Wagner and Waters roads was
purchased.

We built the house (with the window that eventually inspired the logo) in
1988; our daughter, Rachel, was born in 1989.

We began the retail
nursery in 1992, with a prayer,
great plants, high hopes, and
a one-page price list.

Customers came, and,
happily, came back, and the
business grew. A greenhouse
was added in 1995, we
actively participated in the
(now defunct) Ann Arbor
Flower Show, had a kids’
gardening club, and began
growing a lot of our own
plants.

In 2003, we bought a 56-acre
tree far in Parma, (just west
of Jackson) and, thanks to
Justin’s talent and dedication,
enhanced and expanded our
landscape design and
contracting division.

Our success comes from
God’s blessings, a great staff, wonderful customers and lots of hard
work!

We make it fun to shop for plants! Visit our website for crazy sales like sing-
ing, hopscotch, finding cats and hugging our dog! We can deliver and install
your plants, help you design your landscape, sell you compost,
topsoil, and “mulch” more (sorry-couldn’t resist!) sell you fantastic
flowering trees and hanging baskets in the spring, shade trees, shrubs and
perennials all summer long, pumpkins in October and a beautiful
Christmas tree and wreaths in December! Stop in!

We will make every effort to have the plants listed in our catalog in stock; however, some plants are subject
to availability, and popular plants can sell out. we may have other plants not listed in the catalog. Prices
are subject to change. Please feel free to call to check if the plant you want is in stock. Special orders are
possible in early Spring..

Did you fall in love with the house—THEN look at the landscaping? We can
help you decide what to keep and what to compost, and make the outside

NEIGHBORHOOD TREE REPLACEMENTS
We were one of the first nurseries to participate as a pre-

When your neighborhood association is ready for new
trees—call us FIRST! We have the variety, the quantities,
and the ability to remove the old and plant the new.

DO IT YOURSELF PROJECTS!
Put your back muscles and your pick-up truck to use and
spend some quality time outside this weekend! We’ve

boulders, shredded bark mulch, and of course, beautiful
plants!

We are confident in our plants and in our planting
advice, and we want your plants to succeed. To
prove this, we offer a LIFETIME GUARANTEE on
all trees and shrubs we sell. Perennials have a one
-year guarantee.

This excludes acts of vandalism, neglect, weather
(including drought) and rodent/animal/bug
damage.

If your plant should die, bring back what you can,
and your ORIGINAL RECEIPT and we will give
you a STORE CREDIT for the ORIGINAL AMOUNT
YOU PAID; or in the case of an EXACT PRICE
MATCH, a replacement of the
original-sized plant your purchased.

WE DO NOT AND WILL NOT GIVE
CASH REFUNDS.
This guarantee is limited to a
SINGLE REPLACEMENT
And does not apply to wholesale sales or
clearance sales or Christmas trees.

Your replacement plant IS NOT GUARANTEED.

Removal of the plant and installation of the
replacement plant are included in the guarantee
for one year if we planted the tree (for the
same-size tree). After the first year, charges for
removing the old and delivering and planting the
new tree apply.

WE WANT YOU TO SUCCEED AND BE SATISFIED
WITH OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.
