Year-round service
Commercial Property Maintenance in Durham Region
One company for the outside of your property, all year. Landscaping when it's warm, snow and ice when it's not, and the same crew either way.
What's included
Splitting a property between a summer contractor and a winter one means nobody owns the handover. Turf gets torn up by a plow that didn't know where the curb was, salt damage nobody documented shows up as a spring landscaping bill, and the two companies each explain that it was the other one. Running both under one contract removes that argument entirely.
Every commercial property maintenance program is scoped to the property. Here's what we typically cover:
- Year-round grounds and exterior upkeep
- Single point of contact for every season
- Custom scopes for plazas, stations and portfolios
- Documented service records
- Priority storm response for contract clients

Season by season
How the season actually runs
The season doesn't run at one speed. Here's how the schedule shifts from April through November, and why.
One contract across both seasons
Grounds care from spring through fall and snow and ice through winter, under a single scope with one point of contact — the same person in July and in January.
A crew that knows the property
The people plowing your lot in February are the people who cut it in July. They know where the curbs, catch basins, irrigation heads and soft edges are without being told, because they spent the summer working around them.
Documented service records
Service history across the whole year in one place — landscaping visits, storm responses, salt applications — rather than reconstructed from two contractors' invoices when something needs proving.
Custom scopes for portfolios
Plazas, gas stations, offices and multi-site portfolios scoped individually. A three-property portfolio spread across Durham does not have one service plan, and pretending it does is how sites get missed.
Priority storm response
Contract clients are on the route before anyone calling in during the storm. Winter capacity is finite and it gets committed in the fall, not on the morning it's needed.
Season change-over
April
Winter damage assessed, sand and salt residue cleared, staking pulled, plow damage repaired, and the grounds schedule started.
Growing season
May to August
The full grounds rotation — cutting, beds, hedges, litter and detail work — held to a fixed schedule around your operating hours.
Fall and handover
September to November
Leaf clean-up in passes, property cut back and cleared, then the winter site walk: snow storage, staking, triggers and the storm plan agreed before the first event.
Winter operations
December to March
Plowing, walkway clearing, salting and ice management on the contract trigger, documented visit by visit.
Durham Region considerations
Durham commercial properties sit on the wrong side of two seasons at once. Lot-edge turf takes salt all winter and shows it in April; beds along a plowed frontage collect sand and grit; curbs and catch basins take a beating from equipment that wasn't there in the summer. When one company carries the property through both seasons, that damage gets prevented in October and repaired in April instead of turning into a dispute between contractors in May.
For property managers
What a year-round commercial contract actually looks like
Most of the questions property managers ask us are about how the arrangement works, not about whether we own a mower. Here are the answers up front.
The scope is written per property, not per service line
A gas station forecourt, a plaza with shared rear parking and a suburban office all fail in different places. We walk the site, agree what gets done and in what order, and write that down — clearing priorities, snow storage, which beds and turf strips matter, what has to be staked before winter. The contract describes your property rather than listing our services.
Per-push or seasonal — and how to pick
Per-push with depth tiers means you pay for the winter you actually get: a light season costs less, a heavy one costs more, and the budget moves with the weather. A seasonal contract fixes the number, so the budget is predictable and we carry the risk of a bad winter instead of you. Neither is the right answer for everyone. Portfolios and properties with fixed operating budgets usually want seasonal; single sites with room to absorb variance often do better per-push.
The documentation is the point
Every winter visit is recorded with timestamped photos, and salt applications are logged. That isn't for our benefit. Slip-and-fall claims arrive months after the fact, long past the point where anyone remembers whether the lot was treated that morning, and the service record is what answers the question. Grounds visits are documented on the same basis.
Portfolios get one standard and one contact
Multiple properties are serviced to the same written standard, with one person to call about any of them and one invoice per property per period. You aren't reconciling three vendors against four sites, and you aren't explaining the same instruction to a different crew each visit.
The seasonal handover is where split vendors lose money
Properties that use one company for grounds and another for snow have nobody accountable at the change-over. Turf gets torn up by a plow that didn't know where the curb was, salt damage along the lot edge shows up as an unexplained spring landscaping bill, and each contractor explains that it was the other one. Running both under one contract means the damage gets prevented at the October site walk and repaired at the April one.
