Labor Day weekend, which is September 1st through September 3rd this year, is the unofficial end to summer and often filled with end-of-summer barbecues and fun. Whether you are hosting a customer event at your business or an employee picnic, you want to make sure your lawn and outdoor space is ready for the Labor Day celebration.
Here are some tips to consdier for your lawn care and maintenance as well as any other landscaping featured around your commercial space:
- Lawn and landscape maintenance isn’t just about aesthetics. You also need to think about safety. Look for any holes in your lawn or uneven surfaces that should be filled in so no one twists an ankle or takes a fall. Add in topsoil to fill these holes and levels the surface. If you start looking for these holes a week or so in advance, you can also add some grass seed and water to get the grass growing in those areas again. If pressed for time, you can also add in pieces of sod to level out areas of your lawn.
- Look for anything that might annoy guests, such as prickly branches, weeds, and pests. If there is still a few weeks, consider hiring a pest control service as well as a company that can remove all the weeds and prickly branches.
- Don’t forget to feed and aerae yuor lawn. This feeding should be in place for every six to eight weeks. This will help keep it looking green and vibrant. Plus, it will give it strength to withstand all the shoes, chairs, tables, and tents you put on it during your Labor Day event.
- Maintain a structured watering and mowing process for your lawn to also give it strength
- Lastly, don’t forget to look for any signs of doggy-do-do prior to your event.
And, when the Labor Day celebration is over, you’ll most likely have to give that lawn a little love. After all the food, rugs, feet, and action, you’ll need to consider if the lawn needs any re-seeding or manicuring.
