Grounds Maintenance In Winter

 

Ground maintenances is important all year round to make sure the grounds are safe for the public to walk through without any accidents.

The autumn leaves have fallen off the trees creating a pretty sea of yellows and oranges. This quickly changes to brown decaying leaves that aren't so attractive. These leaves quickly become an issue, and now what to do with them since they have become stuck to the floor?

The types of clients who need ground maintenance are those who have a large amount of land. This could be privately owned land or, more commonly, commercial grounds. Commercial grounds could be parks or gardens that are open to the public. 

Ground Maintenance is a service where expanses of grounds are maintained by a company. The staff for this company will be well trained in this line of work. They will provide services such as grass cutting, pruning and tree surgeon specialists.

The staff will go to the grounds to assess what will need doing and make recommendations as to how frequently it will need to be done. Some ground maintenance services such as grass cutting will need to be done on a regular basis. The tree surgeons however may only be needed a couple of times a year.

A ground maintenance service will be needed all year round. There will be times of the year when this maintenance will be needed more frequently such as summer and winter. It may be needed more in summer as this is when most visitors will be in the grounds.

Also, going into winter the leaves will need to be cleared as quickly as possible whilst this process is made easier. The more excessive wind and rain at this time of the year may cause problems to plants and trees. This could lead to health and safety issues if not sorted quickly or prior to the bad weather. 

The ground maintenance should be applied at least once going into winter because high winds and rains could damage tree branches that could hurt people walking past if they fell. Also the leaves that have recently fallen off the tree, if not cleared, can become clogged up in drains. If still on the pavement the leaves start to decay and become slippery. This could cause someone to slip over, leaving them injured, which would mean health and safety isn’t being followed.
