Seasonal Services

Commercial landscapes change throughout the year, and each season brings different maintenance priorities. Preparing planting beds in spring, maintaining the property throughout the growing season and cleaning up leaves in fall all contribute to a landscape that looks professionally managed year-round.

Merit Landscape Solutions provides commercial seasonal landscaping services tailored to the needs of each property. From spring cleanups and mulching to fall cleanup and winter preparation, our team coordinates seasonal work as part of a comprehensive landscape maintenance program.

Seasonal Landscape Maintenance Throughout the Year

Merit's commercial landscape maintenance calendar follows the natural progression of the growing season, coordinating different services at the appropriate times of year. Because weather affects landscape conditions and plant development, exact service timing can vary from year to year.

Depending on your property's maintenance program, seasonal services can include:

• Spring Cleanups: Preparing landscape areas as the growing season begins.
• Bed Edging & Mulching: Defining planting beds and installing mulch as part of spring landscape preparation.
• Shrub Pruning: Scheduled pruning to maintain the appearance and care of landscape shrubs.
• Seasonal Flower Rotations: Spring and fall flower installations that bring changing color to prominent landscape areas.
• Core Aeration: Seasonal turf care designed to support the lawn as part of a broader maintenance program.
• Overseeding & Slice Seeding: Turf services used seasonally to support lawn density and appearance.
• Fall Cleanups: Addressing leaves and seasonal debris as the growing season winds down.
• Winter Preparation: Preparing landscape and irrigation systems for colder conditions.

Spring Landscape Cleanup & Preparation

Spring is an important transition point for commercial landscapes. Merit begins its maintenance calendar with spring cleanup, followed by services such as bed edging, shrub fertilization and mulching as conditions progress.

This is also when irrigation systems can be started for the growing season and spring flower rotations installed. Coordinating these services helps transition the property from winter conditions into its active landscape maintenance program.

Summer Landscape Care

During the primary growing season, seasonal services work alongside Merit's regular maintenance program.

The maintenance calendar includes mowing, shrub pruning, irrigation checks, fertilization, weed control and shrub insect control at various points throughout spring and summer.

Rather than treating each task separately, Merit creates customized landscape maintenance programs so services can be coordinated around the property's needs.

Fall Cleanup & Landscape Preparation

Fall creates another important transition for commercial landscapes. Merit's maintenance calendar includes fall flower rotation, core aeration, overseeding and slice seeding, fall fertilization with broadleaf weed control, irrigation winterization and fall cleanups.

Addressing these seasonal needs helps property managers close out the growing season while preparing landscape areas and systems for colder weather.

Customized Seasonal Maintenance for Commercial Properties

There is no single maintenance schedule that works exactly the same for every commercial property—or every year.

Merit's landscape maintenance materials emphasize customized programs based on each landscape's needs. The company also notes that maintenance schedules can shift from year to year depending on weather conditions.

That flexibility is especially important for professionally managed landscapes, where service timing should respond to actual site and seasonal conditions rather than simply following the calendar.
