Dec 14th 2020
There’s nothing quite like a well-manicured lawn to welcome your employees and customers into your business. After all, a good first impression can make a world of difference for your company’s image. Unfortunately, it only takes a few days for weeds to settle in under the right conditions, hurting that beautiful green grass. For home gardeners, the solution to this may be as easy as pulling those weeds by the roots every so often. But, if you’re a commercial property owner, you may not have the time for this type of upkeep or the resources for any expensive re-landscaping projects.
If you are the proud owner of an office park, strip mall, or another type of commercial property, don’t let weeds take over your landscape. Follow these simple tips from our commercial landscaping experts at Evergreen Lawn Care.

Keep Your Lawn Properly Trimmed
Maintaining your lawn trimmed at a proper height (above one-third of the leaf blade) is perhaps the easiest and most affordable way to prevent weeds from sprouting. One reason for this is that well-trimmed grass is healthier and more capable of outcompeting weeds. Ideally, your grass should cover and insulate the soil underneath to prevent weeds from growing after sprouting. Mowing regularly also stops weeds from propagating further by removing the protruding seed heads before they have a chance to mature.

Find The Right Professional To Install Sod

As a well-established, family-owned, and operated business, our landscapers take every step necessary to ensure a job well done. For sod installation, we remove all debris from the soil, till the ground, apply fertilizer to eliminate weeds, level the area, and provide thorough guidance on how to irrigate before the sod arrives.

Pressure Wash Hidden Weed Growth
Have you ever wondered how some weeds can grow in between pavement cracks and other seemingly soilless areas? Well, it’s because weeds only need a relatively small amount of soil or dirt to grow. Even the tiniest cracks in your driveway or parking lot could accumulate enough soil over time for weeds to settle in. One convenient solution for this is pressure washing. With power washing, not only do you get thoroughly clean surfaces that would otherwise be incredibly difficult and time-consuming to clean, but you can also remove weeds from their roots as well as any spores that may be lingering nearby.
Mulch Away!
Mulch has become incredibly popular for commercial landscaping, no doubt due in large part to how effective it is at simplifying lawn maintenance. Whether you choose wood chips, bark nuggets, straw, or even pine needles, mulch benefits plants by keeping the soil cool and moist, which effectively decreases the amount of irrigation needed. Mulching also helps prevent weed growth by depriving any sprouts of sunlight. Just make sure to schedule commercial mulching services with reputable and experienced landscapers who know the types and amount of mulch that will work best for your commercial front.
