Your property’s curb appeal can be adjusted any season of the year, but winter is a great time to refresh your landscaping and prepare your commercial property for spring and summer growth. These past few years has been hard on businesses with the pandemic and changing customer patterns. Your business in the San Joaquin and Central valley area can thrive if you take a few moments to care for some maintenance-musts. A shining property will help you to attract those customers back to your property and through your doors.
Take the time to fertilize
Toward the end of winter or beginning of spring is the best time to apply fertilizer. Fertilizer replenishes the nutrients in the soil and ensures healthy plant growth. Your landscaping company can help you to prevent fertilizer burn and nutrient lock by doing a soil analysis and creating a custom treatment just for your property. Taking the time to maintain the health of your soil will help your plants thrive once warmer weather returns.
Lay down some mulch
Applying mulch is an easy way to refresh your grounds and make them look crisp, clean and new. Mulch will protect your sensitive plants from weather changes and retain moisture and nutrients in the soil. Another bonus is the instantly improved aesthetic appeal.
Thin out your plants
Your commercial property will have a clean, professional look if you take the time to thin out your plants and removal winter brush. Take the time to prune shrubs and trees and cut back ornamental grasses. Removing dead debris from the property will open space for new growth and prevent disease and insect infestation.
