[SOUTHERN ILLINOIS – 10/25/2019] – Southern Illinois generally experiences snowy, frozen winters. Cold temperatures are not good for commercial turf. As such, U.S. Lawns provides snow and ice management services to commercial property owners for the upkeep of their grounds even in winter. Snow and ice management preserves the health of lawns and keeps pathways safer for pedestrian use.

Winter Preparation

U.S. Lawns offers a range of commercial landscaping services to prep and maintain lawns in winter. First, the end of autumn usually brings plenty of fallen leaves, which may accumulate on sidewalks, pathways, and drainage routes. Clearing this buildup makes a big difference as winter comes.

Next is irrigation maintenance. U.S. Lawns winterizes irrigation systems to ensure that the pipes do not freeze and burst. This method also makes sure that the water lines stay intact until spring. The commercial lawn care provider uses compressed air to assure the water flows through the pipes properly.

Corrective tree pruning is also an important part of winter preparation. U.S. Lawns has comprehensive knowledge about different varieties, enabling them to strategically prune trees, reducing the likelihood that branches will break off amid snowstorms.

Mitigating Unwanted Risks

Risk management is the number one goal of snow and ice management contractors. Snow easily freezes high-traffic pathways, which increases the potential for accidents involving tenants and clients. Such incidents are the facility manager’s liability. Thick coatings of ice and heavy snowfall are also damaging to the commercial property and landscape, creating a new set of problems.

U.S. Lawns mitigates these risks through their commercial landscaping services, reducing customers’ liability concerns.
