Year-Round Curb Appeal: Keeping Your Commercial Landscape Attractive and Functional

Your commercial landscape is often the first thing clients, customers, and employees see. It’s a vital part of your business’s image, contributing to year-round curb appeal, property value, and even employee morale. But maintaining an attractive and functional landscape throughout the year requires planning and consistent effort.

Why Year-Round Landscape Maintenance Matters

A thriving landscape is more than just aesthetics; it offers numerous benefits:

• Positive First Impressions: A well-maintained landscape creates a welcoming and professional atmosphere, making a positive impression on visitors.
• Increased Property Value: Landscaping can significantly increase the value of your commercial property, making it a smart investment.
• Employee Morale: Studies show that access to green spaces and attractive landscaping can boost employee productivity and well-being.
• Environmental Benefits: Healthy plants help to filter air pollution, reduce stormwater runoff, and provide habitat for wildlife.

Metro Lawn Care’s Seasonal Guide to Landscape Maintenance

Spring:

• Clean-up: Remove debris, leaves, and dead branches accumulated over the winter.
• Lawn Care: Aerate and overseed your lawn to promote healthy growth. Apply a slow-release fertilizer to provide essential nutrients.
• Planting: Add seasonal color with annual flowers and refresh mulch beds.
• Pruning: Prune shrubs and trees to encourage healthy growth and shape.

Summer:

• Watering: Water deeply and infrequently to promote deep root growth. Adjust watering schedules based on rainfall and temperature.
• Mowing: Maintain a proper mowing height to prevent stress on your lawn.
• Weed Control: Stay on top of weed control to prevent them from taking over.
• Pest Control: Monitor for pests and diseases and take appropriate action.

Fall:

• Winterization: Prepare your landscape for winter by protecting vulnerable plants, adjusting irrigation, and applying a winterizing fertilizer.
• Pruning: Prune deciduous trees and shrubs while they are dormant.

Winter:

• Monitor for Damage: Inspect your landscape for winter damage, such as broken branches or signs of disease.
• Snow and Ice Removal: Keep walkways and entrances clear of snow and ice to ensure safety.
• Evergreen Care: Protect evergreens from winter burn by providing adequate water and wind protection.

Beyond the Basics
