Ground Maintenance Edmonton For Residential And Commercial Premises

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.

As the seasons change, so will your needs. Your grounds will still need to be maintained, but the tasks will vary. Snow puts a stop to grass growing, and much more. So, the services you need will be different than those necessary in summer. Let us go back to summer. You will need your lawn mowing, weeding, and fertilizing. During the summer months it is also important that your lawn is aerated.

You may also like to use extra services such as sod installation and the hydro seeding process. These, alongside water management solutions are very popular for private home owners. In warm weather, your trees and shrubs will also need pruning, weeding and mulching will be carried out, and landscaping services if you need them.

In winter things will change dramatically. You won't need to use as much water, and weeds will not grow. But, your grounds may actually be harder to maintain than in warm weather. Snow plowing and snow removal are a must. Salting of your driveway and your walkways are a must if you don't want to suffer from trips and falls. Snow must be regularly removed from your roof too, and from gutters and drains. Snow is heavy, and can damage your roof or fall off on top of you.

Now lets take a look at the services needed for commercial properties. Many are the same as for residential. The lawn needs to look its best. This will include creation, repair, and mole and pest removal. Water management systems need to be in place to ensure you are not wasting water. Your landscaping should be taken care of in the summer months, as well as your tree and shrub pruning. A design and installation service will also be available to you.

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.

Lastly, make sure that your Christmas lights are the most impressive in town. Your Edmonton based maintenance team can take care of your festive lights and even the delivery of your Christmas tree.
