Spring is the perfect time to give your commercial property a refresh and get it ready for the warmer months ahead. There are several key steps you can take to ensure your landscape is in top shape and ready to impress your clients and visitors.
It’s crucial to undertake pruning, cutting back grass, and removing debris. Spring pruning is essential for removing dead and diseased branches, as well as maintaining the correct form of plants. Alongside this, cutting grass within 3 inches of the ground helps prevent moisture buildup and rot, while cleaning up debris prepares the grounds for pre-emergent herbicides and prevents the spread of disease.
Another important aspect of spring preparation is turning mulch and adding nutrients. Turning or adding fresh mulch helps insulate soil, reduce water loss, and suppress weeds. Additionally, incorporating compost or fertilizer into the soil promotes healthy growth and flower production, especially when administered along with proper watering and adherence to specific guidelines.
Aerating and overseeding your lawn also play significant roles in maintaining its health and appearance. Aerating helps reduce soil compaction and allows essential nutrients to reach plant roots, while overseeding helps maintain a thick and lush lawn by filling in thin spots. It is important to choose the right time to overseed and avoid applying pre-emergent if planning to seed.
By following these spring preparation tips, you can ensure that your commercial property is not only aesthetically pleasing but also healthy and vibrant throughout the season.
