5 Great Services Offered by Commercial Landscape Maintenance Companies

There are a huge number of commercial landscape companies available out there, but finding a truly great landscape company is almost as hard to do as finding a lawyer you can trust. Many landscape companies are only capable of providing the basics, leaving a wide swath of unfulfilled needs in their wake. But a great company not only fulfills those basic needs, but can also use their expertise and skills to take care of specialty needs as well.

First, having a landscape company that is capable of providing great lawn care is a must. Any commercial property, whether it be the corporate headquarters for a multinational company, a resort area used by hundreds or even thousands of people a year or even the local offices for an insurance company, having those needs met by a company geared to provide great commercial landscape maintenance is a must. Everyone who sees the building and grounds at these facilities needs to come away with an impression of neatness and crispness, showing that level of professionalism you want your company to promote.

Second, a company needs to be able to do more than just mow the lawn. Taking care of the bushes and shrubs is not a challenge if there is a skilled arborist on staff. Shrubbery and bushes will help to enhance the look of the building. Having them well maintained is essential to the overall appearance to the clients.

In dry areas, ensuring the lawn and other plants receive enough water is a must. Integrating irrigation systems into the landscaping can be yet another design challenge, but a challenge that must be met in order for those plants to continue to not only live, but to look good all year around. Part of the needs of an irrigation system like that is continual maintenance, so the irrigation system continues to function flawlessly.

The other aspects of landscaping don't even involve plants. Landscape designs using timbers, bark, pebbles and other elements require maintenance and upkeep just like the lawn, trees and shrubbery. Keeping those areas looking just as organized and pristine as when they were first placed provides just as much impact on those who see it as those living elements do.

Another function of landscape maintenance to consider is winterization. How to "pack up" a place that isn't going to be used for three to six months isn't a simple matter of bolting the windows and locking the doors. The grounds also have to be taken into consideration, and steps taken so they can be maintained and any problems or issues caused by the winter weather can be handled as a matter of course, instead of being an emergency.

Any company can handle one of those services. A good company is able to handle multiple. In the end, it take s a truly great company to handle all the maintenance needs, and much more. Why spend money hiring several companies to meet your landscape maintenance needs when you can place all your needs in one basket and hire one company? It will help to simplify many areas of your life while being much more cost effective in the long run. You've invested in the landscaping for your facility, now invest in the maintenance of it as well. Hire a great company.
