If you’re a business owner, then keeping your landscape in good shape throughout the year is very important. Your landscape is what’s seen before anyone even enters your facility. In other words, your landscape is what’s responsible for people’s first impressions of your business. As such, keeping everything well-maintained should be a top priority. As we enter the fall season, there are certain commercial landscape maintenance tips that you’ll want to keep in mind.

Clean Up Leaf Debris

Leaves will constantly be falling during this time of year. As such, one of your commercial landscape maintenance tasks should be to get these leaves cleaned up. Leaves and other sorts of debris can make your landscape look messy and unprofessional. On top of that, they can hinder drainage and create slipping hazards for people. To avoid these types of issues, it’s best to keep up with leaf cleaning.

Adjust Your Irrigation Systems for the Fall Season

Now that fall is upon us, the days are going to get shorter, and temperatures are going to drop. This means that your property isn’t going to require the same level of irrigation. If you overwater your lawn, it can result in fungal disease, which makes water more harmful than helpful. It’s good to cut back on the amount of watering your lawn gets during this season. A landscape contractor can give you a good idea of how often watering will be needed.

Get Your Turf Fertilized To Prepare It For Winter

A good time investment to make as part of your commercial landscape maintenance routine is to perform fall fertilization. If you apply a slow-release fertilizer to your lawn, it can strengthen root systems before your lawn goes dormant for the winter. This makes it easier for your grass to bounce back to life once spring comes around.

Inspect and Prune Your Trees and Shrubs

As another part of your commercial landscape maintenance routine, you’ll want to inspect the trees and shrubs around your property. See if there are any dead or weak branches that can be trimmed away. By proactively pruning your trees and shrubs, you can improve plant structure, which encourages your plants to grow healthier once spring arrives.
