How to Prepare Your Property for Spring Landscaping

Preparing Properties for Spring: Essential Landscaping Maintenance Tips

Spring isn’t just a new season — it’s a new impression!

After months of snow, salt, and dormant turf, your properties are finally ready to emerge from winter hibernation. But without the right care and planning, spring can quickly turn from an opportunity to an operational headache.

At Command7, we help our clients transition their landscapes from winter-worn to wow-worthy — no matter the region, climate, or complexity. Here's how to prepare your commercial properties for spring and why having a strategic landscape partner matters.

Why Spring Prep Is So Critical

Spring landscaping isn’t just about cleanup — it’s about protecting your investment, enhancing curb appeal, and preventing issues before they disrupt tenants, customers, or operations.

From safety hazards to brand perception, what your landscape looks like early on, will impact everything else for the rest of the year.

Your Spring Landscaping Checklist

✅ 1. Clear Debris and Winter Build-Up

Leaves, branches, and leftover ice melt can smother turf and create trip hazards. A thorough site cleanup improves drainage, promotes air flow, and gives turf and plants room to grow.

✅ 2. Inspect for Winter Damage

Snow mold, salt burn, bare patches, and compacted soil are common after harsh winters. Our teams assess and repair damage early to keep your properties looking sharp — and reduce long-term costs.

✅ 3. Refresh Turf Areas

Early spring is the perfect time to aerate compacted soil, overseed bare spots, and apply pre-emergent treatments to prevent weeds before they take hold.

✅ 4. Fertilize and Prevent Weeds

As grass emerges from dormancy, it’s hungry. Early spring fertilization boosts root growth while pre-emergents stop weeds before they start. We tailor applications based on region and turf conditions for consistent results.

✅ 5. Prepare Plant Beds

We remove old mulch, prune damaged shrubs, edge beds for a clean look, and install fresh mulch to retain moisture and prevent weeds — all tailored to your region and plant types.

✅ 6. Test and Start Up Irrigation Systems

Your irrigation system needs to be ready before the first heat wave hits. We inspect lines, valves, controllers, and heads to make sure everything is running efficiently and conserving water.
