The Truth About Commercial Landscape Maintenance Greenville SC

By Roger Lee


A great outdoor environment in a commercial establishment can help to attract more customers or clients, especially if the space is used for business. This may be a golf course, private garden, a park, hotel lawn or a camping site. Since the outdoor space may be large, maintenance can be quite a challenge. Fortunately, there are firms offering commercial landscape maintenance Greenville SC.

Landscaping is a term used to refer to the manipulation of the physical environment, particularly the ground, to enhance both beauty and functionality. In many cases, a flat surface may be manipulated to create a hilly terrain. Similarly, an uneven terrain can be flattened to create a level ground. In golf courses, a combination of hilly and flat surfaces is desirable to create holes with varying degrees of complexity.

To create a great landscape, a lawn must be established and maintained. However, there are some people who avoid the maintenance costs by installing artificial turf lawns. Before planting grass, the weather conditions and type of soil in the yard must be considered. Soil testing is usually done to find out the acidity and nutrient composition of the soil. This can only be done by professionals.

Grass requires three things to thrive, the right soil, water and nutrients. To create a great lawn, therefore, soil may have to be imported to the site and fertilizers added. Once the grass has been planted, watering must be done on a regular basis. Other plants may also want to grow on the soil, so weeding is a requirement. In that regard, manual uprooting of weeds or spraying of herbicides may be done. With the right conditions, grass can grow fast, so the leaves must be trimmed at least once every two weeks.

Professionals have the right tools, expertise, manpower and supplies needed to take care of any type of lawn, regardless of its size. Whether your landscape only has a lawn or a combination of tall trees, flowers and grasses, a professional will take care of all your landscaping needs.
