Are You Ready For Fall Business? Is Your Greenscape?

How important is the eye appeal of your commercial property?  It is the first thing a potential customer or buyer sees. It truly is your first impression. We all know the truth to that old saying; "You never get a second chance to make a first impression!"

The work we do now in the landscape fortifies your property so it will survive even the harshest winter. Fall fertilization feeds the lawn so it repairs from summer stress before it must endure cold weather. Winterizing your property’s irrigation system preserves your technology investment and protects sprinklers until spring, when you’re ready to water again.

Fall is also a perfect time to press reset on your landscape and to revisit your maintenance agreement. Consider top priority planting projects for the coming year, and anticipate maintenance needs for 2017 before 2016 closes out.


We also like to dedicate time in the fall with our commercial clients to conduct property walkthroughs so we can take stock of the landscape and set goals for the coming year. Committing to the maintenance contract now is helpful for budgeting.

Check Your Gutters – The season is known as “Fall” for a reason, leaves are going to change color and fall from the trees in bulk, and that means a lot more than increased sweeping and vacuuming inside as they are tracked in on shoes. The biggest threat that comes from all of those falling leaves and debris is to your gutter system. Make sure it’s clear so that water will flow freely away from your building when it rains and pours. This simple step will go a long way towards preventing roof leaks and flooding.


Prevent Electrical and Fire Problems – Have an electrician come in and perform a maintenance check on your electrical system to ensure it’s prepared for the increased usage that fall demands. Shorter and colder days mean more lighting and the possible addition of space heaters, and you don’t want to blow a fuse when clients are around! While you’re at it – check your smoke detectors and their batteries (ideally once a month, but in the spring and fall at the least), and any emergency generators (which should be started once a week so they don’t remain idle too long, transfer load tested every month and full load tested once a year). 

Or you can let Greens Keeper Landscape Maintenance do all the work for you and take the burden off your shoulders all together.  Give us a call at 623-848-8277 and let’s talk about it.
