Ground Maintenance Edmonton For Commercial And Residential Builds

By Eric Mitchell


If you have a large garden or open space at your property you should feel privileged. The same goes if your office building has an impressive parking lot and garden. But, lets think practical. Everything comes with a price and that includes maintaining your grounds. If your premise is commercial it needs to look its best at all times. You can achieve this by employing the services of an expert in ground maintenance Edmonton residents have been using time and time again. A professional look for your grounds should be a must, both in cold and warm weather.

The requirements for your maintenance will change with the seasons. In winter snow will prevent your lawn from being mowed, and weeds will not grow. But lets take a look at the summer season first. In warm weather, your lawn must be mowed regularly. Weeding is necessary, as is the treatment for weeds, aeration of your grass and fertilization.

Sod installation and hydro seeding are two more services that are recommended for your residential property in summer. Water management solutions are another. A large property can use a lot of water if you are not careful. In the summer months it is also time for some mulching and weeding, pruning of trees and shrubs, and some landscaping where required.

When winter sets in the services you need for your private residence will change. Weeding wont be necessary as grass will be covered in snow, and you certainly will not be needing to aerate and water your plants and lawn. There are however plenty of tasks that your team will get to work with. These include the plowing and removal of snow and ice dam prevention. Walkways should be salted to prevent nasty slips and falls. Your roof will also need to be kept clean from heavy snow build up, and gutters and drain pipes will need to be cleared. Lastly, allow your groundsman to get in the festive spirit by helping you with your Christmas tree and lights.

As regards to commercial properties, the summer services are similar to those for private residences. Maintaining and mowing of your lawns is a must. Creation may also be necessary as well as repair. Mole holes will look very unsightly in your hotel garden. Water management solutions should be a high priority for you in summer months. Like with your private residence, you should also concentrate on pruning, landscaping, and design.

In the winter the services you require will once again change. As your commercial property will receive visitors on a daily basis it is extremely important to make sure that all hazards are removed and that people can reach you.

Snow removal and relocation is top on your list of priorities here. Plowing of your driveways and parking lots is essential. All access routes must be salted regularly. A slippery sidewalk could lead to a court case if a client was to slip and fall. Snow must not be left to settle on the roof. One reason is because of the sheer wait, the other is that snow tends to shift and fall and you never know who will be below when it happens.

Once you have made sure that everything is safe, its time to get festive. Allow your groundsmen in Edmonton to help you with your festive lights, and the delivery of the office or other Christmas tree. You will have the best lights display in town.
