You ever have a company do something great for you — and the first thing you want to do is tell a friend?
That’s how TLC built this business. One homeowner at a time. One neighbor telling another, “Hey, if you’re thinking about an underground sprinkler system, you need to call these folks.”
And we’ve always been grateful for that. But now we’re taking it a step further.
Introducing the TLC Referral Program: When you refer someone to us and they purchase a new system — whether it’s a sprinkler system, yard drainage installation, outdoor lighting, Christmas lights, garage flooring, or a full garage makeover — you get a $250 gift card as a thank-you.
It’s that simple. No points to track, no gimmicks — just a real reward for helping us grow the TLC family.
Why We Launched This Program (And Why It Matters to Us)
From day one, TLC has been a word-of-mouth company. We’ve grown not because we run fancy ads, but because folks like you have trusted us with your yards — and then told your friends, neighbors, and family.
We see it every day: – “You installed my sister’s system in Glen Burnie.” – “My coworker swears by you guys.” – “You helped my dad last summer — I was impressed.”
So this program is really just our way of saying: thanks.
Thanks for believing in us. Thanks for sharing our name. Thanks for helping us grow the kind of local business that does things the right way.
And if you’re going to go out of your way to recommend us — we think you deserve something in return.
Here’s How It Works (Simple as Can Be)
- You refer someone to TLC.
- Could be a friend, neighbor, coworker, family member — anyone looking for a new system we offer.
- They mention your name when they call.
- Or you can fill out a referral form online to let us know ahead of time.
- If they purchase one of our systems — you get a $250 gift card.
- No strings. No hoops. We send it to you as a thank-you.
That’s it. Simple, honest, and real.
“Bob, is there a limit?” Nope. Send us five referrals? You could be looking at $1,250 in gift cards.
What Counts Toward a Referral?
We’ve expanded our services, and every one of these counts: – Lawn sprinkler installations – Yard drainage systems – Outdoor lighting designs – Christmas lighting systems – Garage floor coatings – Full garage makeovers
If your referral signs up for any of those — you get rewarded.
Who’s a Good Fit to Refer?
We’re not looking for a hard sell here — just people who need what we do best. If you know someone who:
- Just bought a new home and wants to invest in the yard
- Complains about water pooling or drainage issues
- Wants to transform their outdoor space with lighting
- Loves decorating for the holidays but hates the setup
- Is planning a garage renovation or upgrade
…they’re perfect for TLC.
So when someone says, “We’re thinking about improving the house or yard” — that’s your cue. Tell them about TLC.
What Can You Do With a $250 Gift Card?
Glad you asked. Because this part’s fun.
We offer a few different gift card options depending on your preferences. Many of our clients pick from:
- Amazon (buy almost anything you want)
- Home Depot or Lowe’s (great for home improvement lovers)
- Local restaurant cards (treat yourself to a night out)
- Visa prepaid cards (use it anywhere)
We want this to be a reward you can actually enjoy. It’s a genuine “thank you” — not a discount or store credit.
Real Examples of Happy Referrers
Here are just a few stories from folks who’ve already taken advantage of the TLC Referral Program:
John in Ellicott City:
“Referred my neighbor after he saw our lawn looking sharp all summer. Didn’t expect anything, but when that card showed up — man, what a nice surprise. Took the wife out for dinner and a show. Thanks, TLC!”
Simone in Bowie:
“My sister-in-law had been talking about installing irrigation for years. I told her to stop shopping around and just call TLC. She did. Got the system. I got the reward. Easy.”
Kevin in Annapolis:
“I work in real estate and refer clients all the time. Most people forget to thank you — TLC doesn’t. That’s why I keep sending people their way.”
Why It’s a Win for Everyone
Think about this:
- Your friend gets top-quality service and installation
- You get a $250 gift card
- We get to serve another great customer and grow our business the right way
That’s a win-win-win.
We’re not some massive corporation with call centers and sales scripts. We’re a local team that shows up, does the job right, and stands by our work. And when you refer someone to us, you’re helping us keep that promise alive.
Not Ready to Refer Yet? No Problem.
Maybe you don’t have someone in mind right this second. That’s okay.
Here’s what you can do: – Bookmark this page so you have the details handy. – Grab a few referral cards from your technician next time they visit. – Follow us on social media for reminders and seasonal updates.
The opportunity is always open. No deadlines. No pressure.
Final Thoughts from Bob
Look, I’ve been in this business a long time. I’ve seen firsthand how powerful a simple recommendation can be. One happy customer tells a friend, who tells a neighbor, who tells a cousin — and before you know it, we’re serving the whole block.
But I’ve also seen how rare it is for companies to actually say thank you.
That’s why this matters to me. When you refer someone to TLC, you’re trusting us with your reputation. That’s not something we take lightly.
So if we’ve helped you with your yard, your garage, your lights, or your lawn — and you’re proud of that work — tell someone. And let us thank you properly.
We believe in neighbors helping neighbors. We believe in doing right by people. And we believe you should get rewarded when you do the same.
Ready to Refer?
Here’s what to do:
- Think of someone who could use our services.
- Tell them to call TLC 410-721-2342 — and mention your name.
Once they’re installed and happy, you’ll get your $250 gift card in the mail. Simple as that.
Because around here, we believe good work should be shared — and good neighbors should be thanked.
Let’s grow something great, together.
