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 the cold services the services you require will change. There wont be much weeding necessary and plenty of water will be falling out of the sky. Your ground maintenance expert will however get to work with other tasks in and around your residential property. These can include snow removal and plowing, salting of walkways, and ice dam prevention. Roof raking is a must if there is thick snow, as is the cleaning of down pipes and gutters. Lastly, your groundsman may even help you with your holiday lighting and the delivery of your tree.

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.

Winter at your commercial property can cause problems. To make sure everyone can still reach you, maintenance will be regularly needed. There are many hazards in winter that you find outside your property.

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.
