22 April 2024

Grounds maintenance is needed on a range of different properties, to keep it looking its best, all year round. But, what kinds of commercial buildings need grounds maintenance? If you’re unsure, we’re here to tell you! If you’re wondering whether your grounds need maintenance, our blog is here to steer you in the right direction. Read below to find out more!


5 Common Properties That Require Commercial Maintenance


There are tons of properties out there that have professional grounds maintenance, and we’ve outlined the 5 most common places:


Retail Buildings


Well maintained buildings are sure to attract more visitors, and shopping centres, or retail businesses are no different. Keeping the outside of your store well maintained can make a huge difference to the number of visitors you have in your store!


Offices


You may not think that your office space needs much grounds maintenance, but keeping a tidy appearance outside your office can make a huge difference. From litter to cigarette butts or unkempt grass, a number of things can make your building look scruffy. Corporate buildings can be massively improved with landscaping and care in the appearance of the offices. 


Hotels


It’s no secret that hotels and other resort buildings are places where people want to feel well looked after and taken care of. A first impression can start with the outside of a hotel, and a messy, dirty entrance can put visitors off. Hotel grounds maintenance keeps the premises looking spick and span for all visitors!


Educational Buildings


Having sports fields, courtyards and other areas of school buildings maintained is pretty important. It can make a huge impact for students, visitors, teachers and parents. Students may feel better when learning in a cleaner, well kept environment, and visitors' first impressions of the schools will be positive!


Hospitals & Healthcare Facilities


Hospitals and healthcare facilities like doctors surgeries will also need ground maintenance work. Hospitals and healthcare facilities need to maintain a certain standard of cleanliness and professionalism inside the facility, and maintaining the outside of these buildings also has a big impact. For regularly visiting patients and one off visitors, maintaining the appearance of these facilities from the outside is crucial for making patients feel safe and looked after.
