What is included in a commercial landscape maintenance contract?
Maintaining a professional appearance is essential for any commercial property. A well-kept landscape sends a message of care, organization, and pride whether you’re managing an office park, retail space, HOA, or apartment complex. But what exactly can you expect when you sign a commercial landscape maintenance contract?
At Rooted Lawn & Landscape, we work with property managers and business owners across Carmel, IN to provide reliable, full-service commercial landscaping. Here’s what’s typically included in a commercial landscape maintenance agreement—and how it benefits your property.
Routine Lawn Mowing and Edging
One of the core components of any maintenance contract is consistent mowing. Keeping grass trimmed and neat not only boosts curb appeal but also prevents weeds and pests.
Services Typically Include:
Weekly lawn mowing
Edging along sidewalks, driveways, and flower beds
Blowing off clippings and debris for a clean finish
Regular mowing keeps your property looking professional all season long.
Seasonal Cleanups
Spring and fall cleanups are essential for removing debris, dead leaves, and branches that accumulate over time.
Cleanup Services May Include:
Leaf removal
Bed and lawn debris cleanup
Light pruning and trimming
Seasonal cleanups help your landscape transition smoothly between seasons and prepare it for growth or dormancy.
Weed Control and Bed Maintenance
Uncontrolled weeds make any property look neglected. Your commercial maintenance contract should include weed prevention and bed care to ensure landscape beds remain tidy and professional.
What’s Covered:
Fertilization and Weed Control
Re-edging beds as needed
Maintaining a clean, mulch-covered appearance
Keeping beds maintained helps frame your building with a polished look year-round.
Trimming and Pruning Shrubs
Overgrown bushes and trees can block signs, pathways, and views while also becoming a liability. Scheduled trimming keeps plants looking great and ensures safety and visibility.
Pruning May Include:
Shrubs and small trees
Hedges around signage and walkways
Ornamental plants and perennials
Proper pruning promotes plant health and enhances the overall look of your landscape.
Mulch Installation (Optional or Seasonal)
While not always included by default, many contracts offer annual or semi-annual mulch installation to refresh beds and improve moisture retention.
Benefits of Mulching:
Enhances curb appeal
Suppresses weeds
Helps retain soil moisture during hot months
Ask about incorporating mulch as part of your annual service plan.
Irrigation System Monitoring (If Applicable)
If your property has an irrigation system, your contract may include basic system checks to ensure proper operation and coverage.
Services Can Include:
Startup in spring
Periodic inspection for leaks or misaligned heads
Winterization and shut-off
Efficient irrigation keeps your landscape healthy and helps prevent water waste.
