Spring is a perfect time to start prepping your grounds. Coming out of the long and harsh Winter months, there are lots of things to do to get your grounds looking their Springtime best. Read below about our Spring Landscaping Checklist tips.

SPRING LANDSCAPE CHECKLIST

Clear Unsightly Debris – Snow, wind and rain from winter weather often leaves debris on your property. Remove winter weather debris like leaves, fallen branches, trash, etc from your property regularly. 

Weed Management – The warming ground temperatures are an inviting environment for Spring weeds. Make sure to pull and remove unwanted weeds regularly.

Fertilize Turf Areas – Depending on the harshness of the Winter season, and even what kind of snow removal you utilized on your property, it’s very likely you will need to give a little TLC to your turf. It’s a good idea ot apply a fertilizer and even seed your ground to keep the grass looking healthy and full.

Laying Fresh Mulch – A fresh cover of mulch immediately increases the aesthetic of your property, making it look clean, kept and inviting. We recommend laying a fresh layer of mulch in Spring.

Trim Dead Tree Branches – Having dead branches on your trees is a potential hazard for your employees, customers and/or tenants. Ensure the safety and health of your property foliage by removing dead branches and cutting tree limbs.

Trim Bushes and Shrubs – Bushes and shrubs can become unruly very quickly, especially if they weren’t cut back during the Fall season. Spring is a great time to trim these bushes back, before they hit high growth in Summer.

General  Landscape  Maintenance – This means creating new seasonal flower beds, planting new shrubs and refreshing your landscape. Spring blooms are an easy way to add color and beauty to your property.

Irrigation System Inspection – Now that the ground is getting warmer, inspect your irrigation system and configure it for Spring watering. Make sure to identify any damage to pipes or heads that may have occurred during the Winter.

Check for Water Damage – Buildup from snow and ice during the Winter months can create hidden and significant water damage on your property. It’s important to conduct a full inspection of grounds, especially around your building foundation where water can seep in and create problems. Check for water damage in these areas: plumbing, drainage outlets, windows and doorways, water heaters, HVAC units, etc.

Repair Water Damage – After for checking for water damage, the next task is to repair it quickly before it becomes an issue. Water damage can weaken the structural integrity of your building/facility, and even promote the growth of mold. In addition to this, standing water is an inviting breeding ground for many insects.

Fence Installation – If you have plans for installing a fence around the perimeter of your property, Springtime is a great time to do this. Temperatures are more mild than in summer, and the availability of work crews might be better.

Exterior Pressure Washing – A good pressure wash of your building’s exterior surfaces might be the facelift your property needs. Consider doing this task now when work crews might be more available.

Parking Lot Maintenance – Springtime is the perfect time to inspect for cracks or holes in your parking lot surface. The harsh Winter months are often not kind to parking lots and walkways, so conducting a thorough inspection of these areas, and making the necessary repairs can help to decrease injury and increase aesthetics.

Repairing concrete – Just like with parking lot maintenance, repairing cracks and holes in your concrete can help to maintain is structural integrity, while beautifying your grounds.
