As the snowflakes start to fall and the holiday season approaches, commercial properties have a unique opportunity to transform into a winter wonderland. At Land Care Landscape Management, we understand the importance of maintaining a picturesque landscape during the coldest months of the year. In this blog, we’ll share essential tips and insights on how to keep your commercial landscape looking beautiful and inviting throughout December.
Snow Removal and Deicing:
Winter maintenance begins with snow removal and deicing. Keeping pathways and parking areas clear and safe is paramount for both customers and employees. Hire a professional snow removal service like Land Care to ensure efficient and thorough snow removal, minimizing the risk of slips and falls.
Protecting Plants and Trees:
Winter’s cold and frost can be harsh on your landscape’s greenery. To keep your plants and trees healthy, consider insulating them with burlap or special wraps. This will safeguard them from the cold while preserving their aesthetics.
Pruning and Tree Maintenance:
December is an ideal time for pruning deciduous trees, as they are dormant during the winter. Pruning helps maintain the shape and health of your trees and ensures they’ll look stunning when spring arrives.
Holiday Lighting and Decor:
Make your commercial property festive with holiday lights and decorations. Well-placed lights can create a magical ambiance. Consider energy-efficient LED lights and elegant decorations to enhance your property’s appeal.
Hardscape Care:
Snow and ice can be tough on hardscape features such as walkways and outdoor seating areas. Regular maintenance is crucial to prevent damage. Be sure to address any cracks or uneven surfaces promptly.
Winter-Resistant Plants:
If you’re considering new plantings, opt for winter-resistant varieties. Evergreen shrubs and hardy perennials can add color and interest to your landscape even in the colder months.
Irrigation System Maintenance:
Don’t forget about your irrigation system. Winterize it to prevent freezing and damage. Ensuring your irrigation system’s health now will save you time and money in the spring.
Wildlife-Friendly Landscaping:
Support local wildlife by providing food and shelter during the winter months. Bird feeders and sheltered areas can attract beautiful winter visitors to your property.
Year-End Landscape Budgeting:
As the year comes to a close, take the opportunity to plan and budget for the next season’s landscape improvements. Our experts at Land Care can assist you in developing a comprehensive plan that meets your goals and budget.
