From Weeds to Wow – A Yard Makeover in West Haven, CT
At Total Lawn Care, we believe everyone deserves to enjoy a beautiful outdoor space — and sometimes, a little help goes a long way. That’s why we launched our Yard Makeover Giveaway, offering one lucky homeowner the chance to revamp their yard with help from Milford’s top landscaping team. The lucky winner? Josh Gharis, a West Haven, CT resident whose yard was in need of serious attention.
Josh’s landscape had seen better days. Overgrown weeds lined his sidewalks and fence line, yard debris was scattered across the property, and his front beds had been neglected for some time. Like many homeowners, Josh had the vision but not the time to transform his outdoor space. That’s where we came in.
After a cleanup, weeding, debris removal, and fresh mulch installation, Josh’s property received the curb appeal boost it desperately needed. We were proud to bring his yard back to life and even more excited to hear what he had to say about the experience in our latest Customer Spotlight.
🌟 Q&A with Josh G– West Haven, CT
Q: What was your first reaction when you found out you won the free landscaping giveaway?
Josh: “I was happy. Yeah, I usually don't win stuff, so it was nice to know that I did.”
Q: Once you found out you won the giveaway, what were the first things you knew had to be done?
Josh: “Well, actually, it changed. Originally I was just gonna get the lawn mowed, but then I realized that I should keep on cleaning up leaves and making sure it was kind of the standard I wanted it to be. I just didn't have enough time to do it, so we decided to go that route.”
Q: Based on what you were looking for, would you say you were satisfied with the work that was completed?
Josh: “Absolutely. More than satisfied. They went above and beyond. Especially, they took my planted potatoes and they replantanted them. They did a really good job.”
Q: What are you most looking forward to with your new landscape makeover?
Josh: “Being able to enjoy it all.”
Q: Would you recommend our services to friends or family? If so, why?
Josh: “Yea, one, I know Dan, and two, they did a really good job. So I would definitely recommend yes.”

Total Lawn Care Celebrates 15 Years of Service in Milford
On June 10th, Total Lawn Care proudly marked 15 years of dedicated service to the Milford community. What started with a push lawn mower and a passion for quality landscaping has grown into the area's most trusted name in lawn care and landscaping services in Milford and the surrounding area.
To celebrate this milestone, our team gathered for an evening of fun and camaraderie at Bowlero—a special place not only because it hosted our event, but also because it’s one of our valued landscaping clients. Celebrating at a property we help maintain was a great reminder of how deeply our work is rooted in the community.
Over the past decade and a half, we’ve built a company that’s more than just a service provider—we’re a team. Many of our crew members have been with TLC for close to 10 years, bringing experience, consistency, and pride to every job site. Their dedication has been a cornerstone of our success and continues to drive our reputation as Milford’s top landscaping and lawn care company.
Looking ahead, we’re excited for what the future holds. As we continue to grow, our mission remains the same: deliver high-quality service, maintain strong client relationships, and help make every landscape a source of pride.
Thank you to our customers, partners, and hardworking team for being part of this journey. Here’s to the next 15 years!
I Could Not Be More Pleased With Total Lawn Care & More!
After a terrible experience with an unreliable company, I am so pleased that I found Dan and his team. I have used them for almost two years for seasonal clean up, projects, and weekly lawn maintenance at my home in Milford. The team is reliable, responsible, and clearly care about the quality of their work.
The owner (Dan) responds to me promptly and personally with every single inquiry and/or question. I rarely write company reviews or recommend companies to others. Being relatively new to the area, I wanted to make sure to take a minute to give Total Lawn Care 5++ stars. I should also mention that I find the prices to be very reasonable which makes this company a clear winner in my book.
Thank you Dan and Team! -Jacquie V, Milford
Spring Cleanup and Curb Appeal Upgrade in Milford, CT
This property already had great structure—healthy shrubs, well-defined beds, and a welcoming front yard. But like many homes coming out of winter (or stepping into a new chapter), it needed a fresh, clean start to match its potential. The homeowner wanted to brighten things up, enhance the curb appeal, and make the landscape feel more intentional.
We began this Milford landscaping project with a full spring cleanup, clearing out leaves, sticks, and overgrowth that had built up over time. Foundational shrubs were trimmed to refine their shape and bring back balance to the front beds. Once things were cleaned up, we focused on defining the space—edging all the mulch beds to give them clean lines and better structure.
Next, we applied pre-emergent to help prevent new weed growth and laid down up to 5 yards of rich brown mulch. This final layer tied everything together, providing contrast, moisture retention, and that signature “just refreshed” look.
The goal here wasn’t a complete overhaul—it was about elevating the existing landscape and giving the home a clean, polished introduction to spring. Now the yard looks every bit as inviting as the home behind it.
