Essential Outdoor Maintenance Tasks for Commercial Properties Thumbnail image

One of the best ways to make a good impression on your commercial property is to keep your outdoor space in top shape. A well-kept exterior not only looks good but adds value and shows your customers you care.

Here’s a rundown of essential outdoor maintenance tasks and the machines that can help you get the job done.

Lawn Mowing

Regular mowing keeps your grass neat and healthy. It prevents weeds and pests from taking over and gives your business a more professional look.

A heavy duty lawn mower, like a riding or zero-turn mower, is a game changer. These machines cut down on mowing time and give you a clean, even finish. Look for one with adjustable cutting heights so you can tackle different grass types easily.

Leaf Blowing

When fall rolls around, leaves can pile up and create a mess. Regular cleanup is crucial to keep walkways clear and your property looking sharp.

A powerful leaf blower is your best friend during fall cleanup. For bigger properties, go for a gas-powered model that offers more power and mobility. It’ll make quick work of cleaning leaves and debris from large areas.

Garden Prep

Getting gardens ready for planting is essential for healthy growth. Proper tilling helps aerate the soil and gives new plants a solid start.

A garden tiller is a must-have for breaking up soil and mixing in compost or fertilizer. Choose one with adjustable tines to handle different soil conditions easily.

Snow Removal

Here in Minnesota, we’re no strangers to snow. Keeping driveways and walkways clear is vital for your customers’ safety and access. Not doing so can lead to dangerous consequences and liability issues.

If you have a small commercial property, you’ll want to have a snow blower on hand. If you manage a bigger lot, invest in a snow plow. Both machines can clear sidewalks and parking lots efficiently.

Debris Cleanup

Clear away hazards and keep your property looking good with regular debris cleanup. This means removing anything from trash and branches to gravel and construction debris.

A utility vehicle with a dump bed is perfect for hauling away debris. It makes loading up and transporting waste easy, helping you tidy your property without breaking a sweat.
