How to Build a Year-Round Landscape Maintenance Plan
Creating a beautiful commercial landscape isn’t just a springtime task—it’s a 12-month commitment. Without a structured, seasonal plan in place, your property is vulnerable to overgrowth, safety issues, and unnecessary repair costs.
At C. Caramanico & Sons, Inc., we help property managers and facility owners across Philadelphia and surrounding counties build smart, efficient year-round landscape maintenance plans that protect and enhance their properties throughout the year.
Here’s how to build a plan that delivers results season after season.
1. Start with a Property Assessment
A successful maintenance plan begins with a thorough site walkthrough and landscape analysis. Identify:
- High-traffic areas
- Drainage or erosion issues
- Hardscape conditions
- Existing plant health and irrigation setup
This gives you a baseline to plan services and set goals for improvement over time.
2. Define Seasonal Maintenance Tasks
Each season brings unique needs for your landscape. Your plan should outline specific services by season:
Spring
- Clean up winter debris
- Mulching and edging
- Fertilization and turf prep
- Pruning and planting
Summer
- Weekly mowing and trimming
- Irrigation system monitoring
- Weed and pest control
- Tree and shrub inspections
Fall
- Leaf removal
- Lawn aeration and overseeding
- Final mowing and bed prep
- Seasonal flower rotation
Winter
- Snow and ice management
- Tree and shrub protection
- Site inspections for storm damage
- Planning upgrades for the next season
Having this seasonal roadmap ensures nothing is missed—and your property stays visually appealing and functional all year.
3. Prioritize Safety & Compliance
A great commercial landscape is more than just attractive—it’s safe. Your plan should include:
- Regular inspections for trip hazards
- Timely snow and ice removal
- Clear walkways, curbs, and entryways
These tasks reduce liability risks and keep tenants, customers, and employees protected throughout the year.
4. Schedule Enhancements Strategically
Think beyond maintenance—enhancements like seasonal color, upgraded lighting, and refreshed entry plantings can elevate curb appeal and increase property value.
Schedule these projects:
- In spring/summer for maximum visual impact
- In off-peak seasons for discounted labor or faster turnaround
- Before leasing season to impress prospective tenants
5. Work with a Professional Landscaping Partner
Managing a year-round landscape plan internally can be overwhelming. Partnering with a commercial landscaper in Philadelphia, PA, like C. Caramanico & Sons, Inc., gives you access to:
- Expert crews and equipment
- Customized service schedules

- Snow and ice management in winter

Why Year-Round Planning Matters
Properties with structured, year-round landscape maintenance plans:
- Maintain better curb appeal
- Experience fewer emergencies
- Attract and retain more tenants

It’s not just about appearances—it’s about value, safety, and consistency.
