If you own a commercial property in Iowa, you'll want it to always look its best throughout the year so that your property makes a good first impression on your customers. However, putting in the work that is required to achieve a beautiful lawn is no easy task. Instead of trying to maintain your property yourself, you should make your life easier by signing up for a commercial lawn care program. Before you sign up for a commercial lawn care program, you'll want to make sure that it includes the services you'll need to keep your lawn healthy and looking its best. A commercial lawn care program should include lawn fertilization and weed control treatments so that your lawn will always have the nutrients that it needs to thrive while remaining weed-free. It should also include lawn mowing visits throughout the year to keep your property looking neat and manicured. What's more, because it snows so often in Iowa, the program you sign up for should also include snow removal so you can keep your business accessible during the snowy season.

Lawn fertilization treatments will provide your lawn with the nutrients it needs to thrive.

When you sign up for a commercial lawn care program, you'll want to make sure that it includes lawn fertilization treatments. That's because these treatments will supply your lawn with the nutrients that it will need to thrive throughout the year. When your lawn has constant access to essential nutrients, it will have everything it needs to grow nice and strong while maintaining its beautiful green color.

Fertilizers include 3 main essential nutrients: nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.

Weed control treatments will keep your property free of weeds.

You should also make sure that weed control treatments are included in your commercial lawn care program. That's because weeds can not only drag down the curb appeal of your property, but they can also steal nutrients and other resources from your grass. To ensure that your property remains free of weeds throughout the year, the company you hire should include both pre- and post-emergent weed control treatments.

  • Pre-emergent - Pre-emergent weed control treatments work by creating a barrier on your lawn to prevent weeds from sprouting.
  • Post-emergent - Post-emergent treatments target existing weeds on your lawn.

Your lawn will need to be mowed regularly to keep it looking neat and manicured.

Lawn mowing should be included in a commercial lawn care program because a fresly mowed lawn will increase the curb appeal of your property. Make sure that the company you hire to take care of your commercial property will come out regularly to mow your lawn so that it always looks neat and manicured. In addition to just mowing, make sure that the company you are working with will also edge around the hardscapes, string trim any hard-to-reach areas, and blow any debris off of your hardscapes.

A commercial lawn care program should include snow removal.

Cleared parking lot from snow in Waukee, IA.

Here in Iowa, it can snow for around 1/3 of the year, if not more. In order for your business to be able to remain open during the snowy season, you'll need to have the snow cleared from the parking lots, walkways, and entryways. When you sign up for a commercial lawn care program that includes snow removal, you can rest easy knowing that your business will be accessible throughout the snowy season. If the program you're looking to sign up for doesn't include snow removal, you should keep looking until you find a company that includes this service in their program.
