DEALING WITH LEAF FALL ON AND AROUND YOUR COMMERCIAL PROPERTY
The change of season is a beautiful time in the Bay Area, but it can also be the cause for frustration and distress for property owners and managers, due to excessive leaf fall. It is important that you take the correct measures when dealing with leaf fall on and around your commercial property.
LEAF FALL AND BUILD UP
You may be surprised at the amount of Fall leaf litter that is produced, in the Bay Area. Leaf litter build-up can be a nightmare for property managers to maintain, not only because it is unsightly, but it can cause property damage and prove to be a safety hazard. It is important to take the proactive measures to prepare for the leaf season to eliminate unwanted problems. Not addressing this issue can lead to landscape damage, flooding, slip and fall hazards and inefficient use of your parking lot.
TIPS FOR DEALING WITH POTENTIAL LEAF DAMAGE:
It is important to make sure that your property’s rain gutters are cleaned prior to the leaf season beginning. Excessive leaf fall can clog your gutters, leading to possible flooding, which can wreak serious damage on your property. By trimming back shrubs &/or trees ahead of time, you can help reduce some leaf fall. More importantly, by hiring a professional maintenance company to stay on top of excessive leaf fall, by clearing and disposing of leaf debris, will help to control excessive leaf litter and thus minimize potential issues and hazards . Having a regularly scheduled sweeping and hauling service to attend to your property is the right approach – power sweeping, hauling and green waste recycling of leaf litter is not only the appropriate maintenance measure, but it is also good for the environment.
