Spring Clean-Up

After a Canton winter, your property probably looks pretty rough. Dead branches, leftover salt stains, matted down mulch, and all the crud that's been hiding under the snow for months - it all needs to get cleaned up before your grounds start looking presentable again.

Spring cleanup isn't just raking some leaves. We're talking about cutting back perennials that died off over winter, clearing out beds, edging everything so it looks intentional instead of messy, and getting rid of debris before the growing season kicks in. The properties near Blue Hills Reservation tend to get alot of branch debris from storms, and that stuff needs to be hauled away properly.

Timing matters too. If you wait until late spring, you've already lost weeks where your property could've looked good. Most commercial properties want this done in late March or early April, soon as the ground thaws enough to actually work with it. The goal is to have everything looking clean before your busy season starts or before tenants start spending time outside again.

We see alot of properties that skip spring cleanup and then wonder why there beds look terrible all summer. You can't just start mowing and hope everything fixes itself. Dead plant material needs to come out, soil might need amending, and mulch usually needs refreshing after it breaks down over winter.

Fall Clean-Up

Fall cleanup in Canton is probably more work than spring because of all the mature trees around here. If your property is anywhere near the neighborhoods off Pleasant Street or around Ponkapoag, you know what we're talking about - leaves everywhere, and they keep coming until late November.

The problem with letting leaves sit isn't just that they look bad. When leaves mat down on your lawn or in your beds over winter, they create dead spots and drainage issues. Plus they make everything look abandoned, which isn't great if your trying to lease space or keep customers coming through your doors.

Good fall cleanup means multiple visits because leaves don't all drop at once. We usually hit properties 2-3 times between October and late November, depending on how many trees are dropping leaves on the site. Some property owners try to save money by only doing one cleanup, but then they end up with a mess by Thanksgiving that looks worse than if they hadn't done anything.

This is also when we're cutting back perennials for winter, blowing out beds, and making sure drainage areas are clear before snow starts piling up. The commercial properties near Canton Junction especially need to watch drainage since alot of those sites have weird grading from when they were built decades ago.

Bi-Weekly Weeding

Here's the thing nobody tells you about commercial landscaping - weeds don't care about your budget or your schedule. They just grow. And in Canton's growing season, which runs from about May through September, they grow fast.

Bi-weekly weeding keeps your beds looking maintained instead of overgrown. When we set up these service plans, we're coming every two weeks to hand-pull or treat weeds before they take over. This works way better than waiting until beds are completely overrun and then spending twice as much to fix them.

The parking lot areas and bed edges are usually the worst. Those spots get sun and heat, and weeds love it. We see alot of properties where the actual planted areas look OK but the edges are a disaster, and that's what people notice when they pull in.

Regular weeding also means your mulch lasts longer and looks better. When weeds grow up through mulch, they break it down faster and make everything look messy. Properties that do bi-weekly service usually need less mulch replacement overall, which saves money in the long run.



Some property owners think they can handle weeding themselves or have their maintenance guy do it, but it rarely happens consistently. Then by July the beds are full of knotweed or crabgrass, and now you need professional help anyway at a higher cost.
