Commercial Seasonal Cleanups

The specific tasks in a seasonal cleanup will vary depending on the season and the individual condition and makeup of the property. For example, properties with expansive gardens will need certain services that properties without gardens won’t.

While every seasonal service package will look different, common tasks include:

• Fertilization
• Mulching
• Garden bed preparation
• Debris removal
• Edging
• Weed control
• Pest control
• Pruning and trimming
• Aeration
• Overseeding
• Raking
• Snow removal

Like fixing up a recently vacated apartment, our seasonal yard cleanups make your property look better and help maintain the health of plants, trees, grass, and the surrounding landscaping, which will lead to greater customer and tenant satisfaction. Here are just some of the benefits you can expect from adding regular seasonal cleanups to your landscaping routine:

• Improved health of your property: We rake dead leaves, get rid of invasive weeds, and put down moisture-trapping mulch to improve the health of your turf, garden, and trees. Healthy grounds can better resist hot weather in the summer and cold weather in the late fall and early spring. It can also stand up better to foot traffic, resist disease, and recover more quickly from the winter.
• Better curb appeal: A healthy landscape is also a more beautiful landscape. We prune garden plants and trim dead tree branches to make your plants and trees look better and to stimulate new growth. We also aerate and fertilize the grounds to keep the grass looking thick and green. Edging is also a great way to distinguish the different aspects of your property, clearly dividing gardens, trees, and other unique areas. The result of consistent seasonal cleanups is a better-looking property that your customers and tenants will enjoy seeing and using. Curb appeal is so important to making a good first impression!
• Better use: Our seasonal cleanup services will also increase the use of your commercial property. A well-maintained landscape will invite your customers to use your grounds, making your landscape a valuable part of your property. Tenants will enjoy spending time outside. A stroll through a healthy, thriving garden can be enjoyed and appreciated. You may even find golf memberships increasing when your course becomes known for its well-maintained appearance.
• Money saved: It’s always better to prevent a problem than to have to fix it later. One of the important benefits of our seasonal cleanup is that it helps prepare your grounds for the challenges of the next season. When your turf is healthy, it’s better able to resist diseases and pests. Aeration, fertilization, raking, and debris removal can keep your grass thick, so you don’t have to replace dead or bald areas with sod. We know that it’s better to maintain a lawn than to have to redo an entire landscape after the turf dies, pests destroy a garden, or disease damages all the trees.

Snow and frost can kill germinating seeds and wash away fertilizer compounds. So, we time our spring clean up after the last snow or frost of the season has fully melted. In many parts of the country, this is usually sometime in March. In colder areas of Canada, we may need to wait longer before initiating a spring cleanup.

We typically perform our fall cleanups before the first major frost or snowfall hits. Once there is a layer of leaves on the ground, we perform a thorough raking as part of our seasonal cleanup. Warmer areas of the country may be able to wait until early November to perform such a cleanup, while cooler areas may need to start in September.

Your landscaping company should be familiar with the climate in your area and can recommend the best time to start. They will also understand the local weather patterns and how this can affect timing when it comes to scheduling a cleanup. They can give you a much more precise idea of when to perform each of the seasonal cleanups for your property. Choosing the right date can help make the entire process more effective.

Because Canada is so vast and climates across the country differ greatly throughout the year, there is no single date that is the perfect time for a seasonal yard cleanup for every region. Instead, the best time for a cleanup is when seasonal changes begin in your region. Our local experts understand regional changes and time seasonal cleanups accordingly.
