Fall brings a different kind of work to your property. Leaves collect along sidewalks, landscape beds need attention, and irrigation systems need to be prepared for freezing weather. For homeowners and commercial property managers, it’s a good time to review what needs finishing before winter.
BLCS Landscape & Irrigation helps care for residential and commercial properties throughout the St. Louis region. Here are a few items to put on your fall maintenance list.
Keep Up With Leaves and Seasonal Cleanup
Leaf cleanup usually takes more than one visit. Trees shed at different times, and wind moves leaves into corners, entrances, and landscape beds.
A regular cleanup schedule helps keep the property presentable while preventing a large accumulation at the end of the season. Pay particular attention to walkways, building entrances, and other areas people use daily.
For commercial properties, coordinating cleanup with ongoing lawn maintenance can make scheduling easier.
Review Your Lawn’s Condition
Before the growing season ends, take a look at areas that have become thin, worn, or difficult to maintain.
Make a note of bare spots, heavily used routes, and areas where water collects. Discuss whether aerating, overseeding, or other lawn care belongs in your maintenance plan. The right work and timing will depend on the lawn’s condition and the weather.
Fall is also a useful time to review how this year’s maintenance schedule worked and what you want to change next season.
Schedule Irrigation Winterization
Include irrigation winterization in your fall plans. Arrange service before freezing weather becomes an immediate concern, and let your provider know about any leaks, damaged heads, or coverage problems you noticed during the summer.
Keeping a record of those issues also helps when it’s time to start the system again in spring.
Plan for Snow and Ice
Commercial property managers should review winter access before the first storm. Identify parking areas, pedestrian routes, entrances, and places where snow can be piled without blocking access.
Having these details settled early gives you time to discuss the service your property needs.
