While we still might be in the middle of winter, now is the best time to think about your commercial spring cleanup landscaping to get your multi-site properties ready to impress. If you’re eager to start planning for the growing season, we’re sharing some smart commercial lawn care tips to promote a beautiful, lush landscape this spring.
Commercial Landscaping Tips
Before you begin mapping out your spring landscaping plan, your facilities management company should do a walkthrough of your grounds to assess and ensure everything is in working order. From holes in the pavement to dead grass and damaged plants, winter can leave you with plenty of work to do.
Clear Out Weeds and Debris
After the harsh winter season is through, your commercial landscaping will need a thorough clear-out. Twigs, broken branches, leaves, and other debris will need to be cleared away. Winter weeds can also make an appearance at the first signs of spring. Early spring is a great time to clean walkways, parking lots, and the walls of your building. At Addilan Group, our green team will work with you to mitigate any weeds and create a proactive plan to prevent them from coming back.
Mowing, Fertilizing, and Mulching
If you haven’t already, plan on mulching your grounds in late winter. A thick layer of mulch can keep weeds from establishing and prevent them from sprouting once the weather warms up. When the ground thaws, your grass will need a nutritional boost, so early spring is an ideal time to fertilize your lawn, flower beds, and plants. Throughout the year, our team of professionals will mow your lawn and monitor its health to ensure it looks great all year long.
Repair Damage
Snow, ice, salt, and snowplows can all damage your commercial landscaping. Once the snow is gone, you may notice bare spots around your lawn. Extra soil, seeds, or sod can fix this problem. Inspect walkways and parking lots for cracks or holes from snowplows. Our parking lot specialists can fix any imperfections, as well as provide you with an array of preventative and reactive maintenance services to keep your lot looking great.
Inspect Irrigation System
Your irrigation system waters your landscape, keeping your lawn and plants green throughout the year. During the winter months, several problems can arise, such as frozen pipes, that can render your system inoperable. Having your irrigation system inspected will help ensure it’s running efficiently. If your current system isn’t working properly, our professionals can provide repairs and monitor for leaks throughout the spring and summer.
Prune Trees and Plants
During the winter months, snow and ice can damage trees and plants on your property. Pruning in late winter and early spring can help encourage growth and shape the plant before it comes out of dormancy.
Start Pest Control
To ensure your lawn stays healthy all year long, create a pest treatment plan with your facility management company. Early spring is a great time to start treatment and stop pests in their tracks.
Plant Spring Flowers and Shrubs
Including your garden beds and seasonal flowers in your landscaping plan will allow plenty of time to ensure you receive the colors and species that work best for your property. When you partner with Addilan Group and our green team, we know just the right time to plant your spring flowers and shrubs to ensure they’re vibrant and healthy their entire life cycle.
