Spring: Preparing for Growth and Renewal

Spring is a critical time for commercial grounds. After winter, lawns, plants, and pathways often need attention to recover from frost and debris. Our spring maintenance services include:

• Lawn aeration and fertilisation to encourage healthy growth
• Pruning shrubs and trees to promote strong structure
• Clearing leaves, debris, and winter waste
• Inspecting hard surfaces for damage and safety concerns

By starting the year with a comprehensive spring plan, Cambridge businesses can ensure their outdoor spaces are ready for staff, clients, and visitors.

Summer: Keeping Spaces Safe and Attractive

During the summer months, growth is rapid, and maintenance needs intensify. Regular mowing, trimming, and watering are essential to prevent overgrowth and maintain a neat appearance. At Zion Landscapes, we focus on efficiency and sustainability by using electric equipment, optimising water use, and reducing travel emissions. Our summer services help commercial properties:

• Maintain safe and accessible pathways
• Enhance visual appeal for staff and visitors
• Reduce long-term damage to plants and hard landscaping

Autumn: Preparing for Winter

Autumn is all about preparation. Falling leaves, cooler temperatures, and wet conditions can create hazards and damage landscaping if not managed. Our autumn maintenance includes:

• Leaf collection and composting using eco-friendly methods
• Plant protection and pruning for winter resilience
• Inspection and repair of hard landscaping features
• Mulching beds to conserve soil moisture and reduce maintenance

These measures help Cambridge commercial properties stay safe, tidy, and attractive as the colder months approach.

Winter: Ensuring Safety and Durability

Even in winter, commercial grounds require attention. Snow, frost, and wet conditions can make outdoor areas hazardous. Our winter maintenance ensures properties remain safe and durable through:

• Clearing snow and ice from paths and entrances
• Checking drainage and erosion risks
• Protecting sensitive plants and planting schemes
• Planning ahead for spring planting and repairs

By maintaining consistent care throughout the year, businesses avoid costly repairs and ensure that landscaping remains an asset, not a liability.
