There are a lot of commercial landscape service providers out there. But what do you look for? How can you identify an excellent commercial landscape service before signing a service contract? This series of blog posts explore some the qualities that one should have:
A commercial landscaping and property maintenance service is not just grounds maintenance–providing services such as lawn mowing, trimming the edges and making sure the flowers in the landscaping don’t die–it is a complete package of landscaping services including in-depth lawn care needs such as fertilizing, aeration, controlling weeds, and assuring that your flowers, shrubs and trees are healthy and thriving.
A solid commercial property landscape maintenance program goes the extra mile providing services such as landscape design, irrigation system installation, flower bed design service, and concrete repair, just to name a few.
Retail and commercial businesses have unique landscaping needs. The areas are larger, they tend to have more elements involved in their landscape such as water features, rock gardens and other hardscapes, and extensive floral displays that need to change throughout the seasons to remain colorful.
The commercial landscape service you select must have experience with this variety of landscaping elements and have the proper equipment–and manpower–to meet the needs of that service. The company should have an extensive portfolio of projects that showcases their work, as well as references from other commercial or retail clients.
Different times of the year requires different landscaping and property maintenance needs. From spring time planting and concrete repair, through summer’s weekly lawn care services and irrigation needs, to fall cleanup, leave removal and preparing the landscape for winter.
Ideally your commercial landscape service provides ice and snow removal services during the winter months to keep your parking lots and sidewalks clear and safe for your workers and customers. They should also be able to care for the landscaping during the winter season, fertilizing and watering plants when needed and taking care of pruning and other plant care needs.
