A Property That Makes the Right First Impression
Your landscape is the first thing clients, tenants, and visitors see. Neglected grounds signal neglect everywhere else. Space Care commercial landscaping programs keep your property polished, safe, and inviting from the parking lot to the front entrance, every week of the year.
Elevated Curb Appeal That Drives Business
Manicured lawns, defined bed edges, vibrant seasonal color, and clean hardscapes create the polished appearance that attracts tenants, customers, and top-tier employees. Properties with well-maintained landscaping consistently outperform neglected competitors in occupancy rates and foot traffic.
Consistent Weekly Schedule You Can Count On
Our crews arrive on the same day each week, follow the same scope of work, and leave your property in the same pristine condition every visit. No more wondering when the landscaper will show up or whether the back lot will get the same attention as the front entrance.
Seasonal Variety That Keeps Your Property Fresh
Spring bulbs give way to summer annuals, which transition to fall mums and ornamental kale. Our seasonal color rotation ensures your property never looks stale. We plan plantings months in advance so material is ordered, staged, and installed on schedule without gaps in visual appeal.
Reduced Slip-and-Fall Liability
Overgrown walkways, uneven turf edges, and debris-covered sidewalks create trip hazards that expose you to costly claims. Regular maintenance keeps pathways clear, sight lines open, and surfaces safe. We document every visit so you have proof of ongoing grounds maintenance if a claim ever arises.
Protected and Growing Property Value
Commercial properties with professional landscaping appraise 10 to 15 percent higher than comparable properties with neglected grounds. Consistent maintenance prevents the deferred costs of overgrown tree removal, dead plant replacement, and eroded bed reconstruction that accumulate when landscaping is ignored.

How We Build Your Landscaping Program
Every commercial property is different. Our five-step process ensures your landscaping program is designed around your property, your budget, and your expectations from day one.
Site Assessment
Your account manager walks every inch of the property, documenting turf areas, planting beds, tree inventory, hardscape conditions, irrigation infrastructure, and any existing problem areas like drainage issues or erosion. This assessment drives an accurate scope and realistic pricing.
Custom Landscape Plan
We develop a twelve-month maintenance calendar covering weekly tasks, seasonal projects, and enhancement opportunities. The plan specifies mowing heights, fertilization timing, plant material selections, and budget allocations for each quarter. You review and approve before any work begins.
Service Begins
A dedicated crew is assigned to your property for the duration of the contract. The same team arrives on the same day each week, building familiarity with your property that translates to faster service and better results. A supervisor accompanies the crew on the first visit to set the quality baseline.
Seasonal Adjustments
At each seasonal transition, your account manager reviews the plan and adjusts for current conditions. If a wet spring accelerates growth, we increase mowing frequency. If a dry summer stresses turf, we modify irrigation schedules and defer heavy applications. The plan is a living document that adapts to what your property actually needs.
Quality Review
Monthly property inspections by your account manager evaluate turf health, bed appearance, tree condition, and overall curb appeal against the standards set in your plan. You receive a written report with photos and recommendations after each inspection. Quarterly account reviews cover budget tracking, upcoming projects, and any scope adjustments.
Commercial Landscaping Pricing
Monthly maintenance programs
Commercial landscaping is priced as a flat monthly fee based on total maintained acreage, the number of planting beds, tree count, and any specialty services like irrigation management or seasonal color rotations. Monthly billing smooths your cash flow by spreading the cost of seasonal peaks like spring mulching and fall cleanups across twelve equal payments.
All proposals are line-itemized so you can see exactly what each service component costs. If budget is a concern, we can recommend phased enhancements that spread improvement projects across multiple seasons rather than front-loading the investment.
Pricing reflects your specific property. Enhancement projects like new plantings or hardscape repairs are quoted separately with advance approval. No surprise charges.
When Professional Landscaping Makes the Difference
Your Property Has Multiple Tenants Expecting a Polished Appearance
Tenants in office parks, retail centers, and mixed-use developments judge property management by the condition of the grounds. Consistent professional landscaping reduces tenant complaints, supports lease renewals, and attracts higher-quality prospects.
You Are Preparing for a Property Sale or Refinancing
Appraisers and prospective buyers evaluate curb appeal within seconds of arriving. A well-landscaped commercial property commands higher valuations and sells faster than one with neglected grounds. Even a few months of professional maintenance can measurably improve the property presentation.
In-House Grounds Staff Cannot Keep Up with the Workload
A single maintenance employee with a push mower and string trimmer cannot match the speed, equipment, and expertise of a professional crew. Outsourcing landscaping frees your on-site staff for building maintenance tasks that require their daily presence.
Your Current Landscaping Vendor Is Inconsistent
Missed visits, uneven mowing lines, and dead plantings that never get replaced are signs your current vendor is stretched too thin. Space Care assigns dedicated crews with supervisor oversight so the service standard never drifts.
Code Enforcement Has Issued a Grounds Maintenance Notice
Delaware municipalities enforce property maintenance codes that include turf height, weed coverage, and tree limb clearance. A professional program prevents violations before they happen and resolves existing notices quickly with documented corrective action.
You Want to Enhance the Property Without Managing the Project Yourself
Adding a new planting bed, replacing dead trees, or installing seasonal color requires design knowledge, material sourcing, and installation labor. We handle the full scope from concept through completion so you approve a plan and see the finished result without managing subcontractors.
Seasonal Mowing and Maintenance Schedule
Delaware commercial properties benefit from a maintenance calendar aligned to the Mid-Atlantic growing season. Cool-season grasses like tall fescue and Kentucky bluegrass grow most aggressively in spring and fall, requiring weekly attention during those periods. Summer growth slows during heat and drought stress, allowing biweekly mowing in some cases. Here is the typical schedule we follow for most commercial accounts.
| Season | Months | Mowing Frequency | Additional Tasks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Early Spring | March - April | Biweekly | Cleanup, pre-emergent, edging |
| Peak Spring | May - June | Weekly | Mowing, trimming, bed maintenance |
| Summer | July - August | Weekly to biweekly | Irrigation monitoring, weed control |
| Fall | September - October | Weekly | Aeration, overseeding, leaf removal |
| Late Fall | November | Biweekly to final mow | Winterization, final cleanup |
| Winter | December - February | As needed | Pruning, debris removal, planning |

Learn MoreCommercial Landscaping Across Delaware and SE Pennsylvania
Our service region sits in USDA Hardiness Zone 7a-7b, with a growing season that runs from mid-April through late November. Space Care landscaping programs are designed around the specific challenges of the Mid-Atlantic climate, including hot, humid summers that stress cool-season turf, unpredictable spring freeze-thaw cycles that heave plantings, and heavy fall leaf loads from the mature hardwood canopy that characterizes properties across Delaware and SE Pennsylvania.
Our primary turf recommendations are tall fescue and Kentucky bluegrass blends, which tolerate the region's temperature swings and maintain color through most of the growing season. For planting beds, we select species proven in the Mid-Atlantic, including boxwood, holly, inkberry, ornamental grasses, and native perennials that thrive without excessive irrigation.
Crews serve commercial properties throughout Delaware and SE Pennsylvania, with dedicated routes in the Wilmington metro area, the Route 202 corridor through West Chester and Exton, Chester County, Delaware County, Dover, Middletown, and Newark.
