Just like you need to clean the gutters at your house and rake up the leaves before snowflakes start falling, you also need to take time to winterize your commercial landscaping. Here are some of our best tips to winterize your commercial property easily this month.

Finish Aeration and Overseeding

The best time to take care of aeration and overseeding in Maryland is the period from late fall to early winter. If you have not had either process done yet, you might still have time if you contact our team to get on our schedule! Aeration removes plugs of compacted soil from your turf. This allows the grass roots to have better access to sunlight, water, nutrition, and fertilizer. Overseeding introduces additional grass seed to the turf, so you can enjoy a lawn that is thicker and more luxurious in the spring. Combining the two allows for the maximum results possible.

Clean Up Debris from the Fall

Every commercial property is different, but many of them have at least one or two trees on the property. As a result, those leaves can add up and clog your gutters, lead to hazards in the parking lot, and make your business look generally unkempt. We can visit your property to do a complete fall cleanup, even if it’s technically early winter. Our professionals will get rid of leaves on your property, clean up debris, and take care of anything else that needs to be done in order for your commercial property to be ready to go when the snow starts falling.

Shut Down the Irrigation System

Do you use a commercial irrigation system to ensure that your turf and plants are watered evenly throughout the year? Winter is the time to shut this down. Draining your irrigation system before winter hits is critical to prevent damage. If you don’t take your time and shut things down the right way, you might need to make repairs in the spring.

Sign Your Snow Contract

Last but certainly not least, when you are winterizing your commercial property, you should never forget to sign your snow removal contract. So many businesses wait until it’s almost too late to get snow removal services, which means that they may not get their first choice of partner. We are still offering our snow removal services to businesses just like yours for the winter, so don’t hesitate to call us today at 410–655–2887.
