5 Commercial Landscaping Fall Tips
Fall has arrived, and while seasons don’t always look different in Phoenix, commercial property owners prepare their landscaping for autumn weather. Here are 5 tips every business owner in Phoenix should take to ensure their property stays beautiful this fall.
Maintain Your Lawn
Aeration, or the process of perforating soil, is important for your lawn as it helps it breathe. As fall approaches, overseeding should be a consideration. It’s also important to take a break from mowing so your lawn isn’t too short. This reenergizes your lawn and prevents brown patches of grass during the winter. When winter does arrive, fertilize. This stimulates grassroots which prepares them for stronger growth come springtime.
Prepare for Damage Control
Take advantage of the fall and target problem areas like diseased or dying trees, shrubs, and other plants. Landscapers will typically prune during these dormant, fall months to cut back any dead or dying branches. This prepares your commercial landscape for spring.
Give Your Landscape Color
Fall is a time for businesses to plant new trees and shrubs to attract customers’ attention as soil is easier to work with this time of year. Seasonal flowers such as witch hazel, winterberry, and boxwood for instance creates a welcoming tone to your landscape.
Check Your Hardscapes
Now is the time to inspect your hardscapes aka patios, pathways, fountains, retaining walls, etc. Over time, your hardscape and water features experience wear and tear, and will look unseemly and unprofessional to customers. Now is the time to repair any issues.
Rake Regularly
Keep your grounds clear of any leaves to maintain a professional and neat look. We highly recommend commercial property owners consider covering weather features with netting or any type of protection during no business hours. This will keep leaves from falling into the fountains and seeping nutrients that foster algae.
