In the business world, image counts a lot. Because of this, you don't want your prospective customers to arrive at your property and find that it looks untidy. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your commercial lawn looks professional and presentable.

Remove Weeds and Vegetation

Weeds and unwanted vegetation tend to grow when you're not paying much attention to your lawn. Unfortunately, customers who see an overgrowth of vegetation may get the impression that your business is disorganised. Try using a regular vegetation removal service to ensure your lawn looks pristine. How often you'll need to use your service will depend on where you are and how frequently vegetation grows. A good landscaper will provide you with a quote and timeline that matches your business's needs.

Mow the Lawn Regularly

Much like weeds and vegetation, a long lawn can give the impression that you don't care much about your business. This could turn new customers off and may drive them towards your competitors. Create a lawn mowing schedule that keeps your grass looking even and short. While this may need to take place every couple of weeks during the summer, you could drop your schedule to once a month during the winter. To ensure the grass stays pristine, consider treatments such as aeration to encourage it to grow evenly.

Avoid Soil Compaction

Soil compaction happens when you allow people to park on your lawn. It can prevent the soil from aerating properly, which may lead to uneven grass growth. If your business requires extra parking space, make sure you designate it carefully so that not all of your lawn suffers. 

Try Low-Maintenance Plants

There's nothing wrong with wanting to bring some colour and variety to your lawn. But if the plants you choose require a lot of care and attention, you may struggle with the upkeep. Fortunately, you don't need complicated plants to make sure your business's lawn looks amazing. Focus on varieties that grow well throughout the year and that are suitable for the climate you're in. 

Watch Out for Diseases

If the area surrounding your lawn benefits from plants and trees, watch out for diseases. Signs can include lots of leaves dying, poor tree growth, and dead branches. Diseased plants and trees can soon place a burden on your lawn and so they may require removal. If you're unsure as to whether removal is necessary, try using a commercial lawn service.
