5 Winter Maintenance Tips for Commercial Properties

Winter brings special challenges for commercial landscapes. Below are five practical tips to keep your site safe and attractive.

1. Keep walkways clear — establish a defined snow removal priority list for entrances and walkways.
2. Use sand or appropriate de-icers on slips-prone surfaces, and monitor application rates.
3. Maintain clear signage and temporary barriers where needed during plowing and de-icing operations.
4. Protect vulnerable plant material with burlap or snow fencing when heavy loads are expected.
5. Plan early-season inspections to address trip hazards created by freeze/thaw cycles.

For larger properties, coordinate with a trusted contractor to ensure 24/7 response when needed.
