Commercial Landscape Management
Turf Care
Every property manager wants their turf looking vibrant and healthy. With proper commercial landscape management, we will craft a landscape you can be proud of. Proper care of your turf will also protect it from pests and build resistance to weed growth.
You can expect the following services to be performed during the year:
- Pre-emergent weed control turf application is performed during the start of Spring. The application eliminates weeds at the earliest stage of growth before they are seen.
- Post-emergent control turf application is completed throughout growing season. Round Up application is applied to kill weeds in mulch beds, walkaways, and parking lots.
- Turf fertilization begins late Spring, as the grass starts growing fastest during these periods.
- Lawn aeration and over-seeding is required to provide nutrients and oxygen across your landscape. This process of over-seeding will increase the thickness of your grass.
Spring Cleanups & Mulching
- Pruning: We will prune and cut back your Knock Out roses, perennials, grasses, shrubs and trees. Trimming will enable the perennials to bloom successfully as it optimizes airflow and sunlight to keep your plants and the crowns of flowering trees healthy.
- Mulching & Edging: We will spread fresh mulch across each bed on your landscape and all edges throughout your property, giving them a clean and finished look.
- Debris Clean Up: During the transition of the season, debris accumulate naturally throughout properties. We execute a careful and thorough clearing of such debris including twigs of all sizes and overgrown weeds through our commercial landscape management services.
Summer & Fall Flower Rotations
If you think of your property as a Christmas tree, the flowers and plantings are the ornaments which make it stand out. We’ll work with you to design a great landscape and recommend which flowers to plant together. Planting flowers is both science and art. While the goal is having flowers and plantings that have great curb appeal, we must account for proper sunlight, slope of the land and irrigation. Flowers and plantings take place during two parts of your commercial landscape management schedule.
Summer Flower Rotation: May – June
Fall Flower Rotation: September – October

Fall Leaf Removal
Fall is widely considered the most beautiful season here in the greater D.C. and Baltimore area. Each Fall, we are signaled for a change in season with vibrant leaves and cool air. This, of course, means that leaves will start to fall and accumulate throughout your property. Our expectation is to have properties cleaned of leaves by the holidays (weather permitting). We offer different commercial landscape management options for your leaf cleanup.
- Leaves can either be blown into wooded areas (if available).
- Leaves can be mulched up with the mowers (in low visibility areas).
- Leaves can be vacuumed up and completely removed off site (high visibility areas).
Shrub & Ornamental Care
We make sure your shrubs are healthy and prepared for the changing of each season.
- Shrub trimming is scheduled throughout the season depending on the species of shrub and its surrounding habitat.
- Selective pruning is carefully performed to maintain the natural or existing shape of each shrub according to its blooming cycle.
Irrigation Startup & Shutdown
Irrigation systems are very important in providing water to maintain a healthy landscape. Our DC area weather can be very harsh during the summers with high temperatures and infrequent rain at times. This can make it difficult to provide the necessary amount of water your landscape needs to stay healthy and beautiful. Choosing an efficient irrigation system will take care of the appearance and health of your landscape and can result in substantial savings in water usage.
