Just because the temperatures are dropping doesn’t mean you should neglect your commercial property’s landscaping! A well-maintained landscape, even in the winter months, can leave a lasting impression on visitors. Here are some key strategies to keep your commercial property looking its best throughout the colder season.
Pruning
Fall is the ideal time to prune trees and shrubs. Trimming and shaping plants now will encourage healthier and fuller growth when spring arrives. Removing dead or damaged branches before the first frost and while plants are still active can help them better withstand winter conditions.
Aerating and Seeding
Fall is also the perfect time to aerate your lawn and reseed any bare patches. The cooler temperatures and increased moisture create an ideal environment for new grass to take root. Continue mowing and fertilizing the lawn until it stops growing for the season, and rake away debris for a tidy appearance.
Removing Damaged Trees
In addition to regular pruning, it’s a good idea to remove any trees that are dead or showing signs of damage before winter hits. Tree removal services are often more affordable during the off-season, making fall a great time to take care of this task.
Planning for Spring
Get a jump on next spring’s blooms by planting flower bulbs in the fall. Varieties such as crocuses, daffodils, tulips, and snowdrops will thrive when planted now, giving your property a vibrant splash of color once winter is over.
