Your commercial property requires a great deal of work and care with its landscaping, pavement, and seasonal maintenance. And as a property owner or manager, it is important that you keep it in the best condition all year long. Here are some recommendations to help you get the best services from your commercial landscape professional.

Include Irrigation Repairs and Maintenance

Your commercial property is going to need irrigation as a regular feature in order to keep your vegetation alive and growing well. And an efficient irrigation system for each type of vegetation will be an important part of your property's maintenance.

For your lawn, you can upgrade the sprinkler heads to a water-saving head to minimize the over-spray and waste. Water-saving sprinklers use a lower flow which delivers water to your lawn slowly, allowing the moisture to seep deep into the soil and to promote deep root growth. Your professional landscape crew can install these sprinklers in your lawn areas and replace any damaged parts to keep your system watering regularly.

Drip irrigation lines are a good option to irrigate your shrubbery, trees, flowers, and other individually-placed vegetation. Your landscape professional can place the lines and their irrigation ports and emitters to deliver water right to the roots of your landscape vegetation. Then, as the weather changes and temperatures cool off and you enter into fall, your landscape professional can winterize your sprinkler and soaker lines to remove water from them and prevent winter breakage.

Arrange Snow Removal

During the winter months and through to spring you may have regular snow storms with ice build-up that needs removal. Your landscaping professional can provide a snow removal service for your landscaping, especially when your landscaping is buried under a layer of snow and ice and does not need regular maintenance. 

Look for a landscape professional that can use a plow service to remove the snow from your parking area and shovels to clear the walkways for your customers and employees. Then as a second task for snow removal, you will need to consider ice management. Snowmelt during the day on your pavements will freeze at night, leaving your pavement a sheet of ice.

Ice melt chemicals that are safe for your vegetation, such as calcium chloride, are a great option to keep your vegetation protected from damage. In the spring you will notice dead spots where harmful ice melt chemicals have settled into the soil and on the vegetation.
