Keep Your Business Looking Its Best Year-Round!

Our Landscape Drainage Services

Mowing & Edging

Consistent mowing and trimming keep your commercial property looking polished and professional. We provide scheduled mowing services that fit your property’s needs — whether weekly, biweekly, or seasonally — along with precise edging to define walkways, parking lots, and landscaped areas.

• Professional mowing equipment for even cuts
• Crisp edging for a clean, defined look
• Debris removal for a tidy finish after every visit

Fertilization & Weed Control

A green, healthy lawn reflects well on your business. We create customized fertilization programs that promote strong turf growth and manage weeds — tailored to the soil conditions and usage patterns of your site.

• Scheduled fertilization treatments for healthy grass
• Safe, targeted weed control
• Eco-friendly options available upon request

Aeration & Overseeding

Soil compaction is a common issue on commercial properties with high foot traffic. Aeration opens up the soil to air, water, and nutrients, while overseeding fills in thin areas — resulting in thicker, more resilient turf.

• Core aeration to relieve compaction
• Overseeding for fuller, healthier lawns
• Ideal for high-use commercial areas

Tree & Shrub Care

Trees and shrubs are key elements of your property’s visual appeal. We provide routine pruning, trimming, and removal as needed to keep these plants healthy, safe, and attractive.

• Tree pruning and trimming
• Safe removal of dead or hazardous trees
• Stump grinding and debris removal

Planting Services

From colorful annual beds to permanent shrub plantings, our team installs and maintains planting areas that enhance your property’s curb appeal.

Our retaining wall drainage includes:
• Perforated drain pipe installations
• Proper wall backfill with gravel
• Weep holes for water release
• Wall repairs for walls with drainage issues

Mulching & Garden Stones

Mulch and decorative stone provide both beauty and function — improving plant health while creating a finished look for commercial properties. We install fresh materials as part of regular grounds care.

• Mulch installation and refresh
• River rock and decorative gravel
• Erosion control and weed suppression

Our Landscape Maintenance Process

Site Evaluation & Consultation

We visit your property to assess your landscaping, usage needs, and maintenance goals. We work with you to understand your priorities, whether it’s appearance, safety, or tenant satisfaction.

Custom Maintenance Plan

We develop a personalized maintenance schedule that fits your property’s size, type, and budget — and outline the services that will best meet your goals.

Professional Service Execution

Our crews show up on schedule, follow best practices, and complete each service with attention to detail. You can count on a consistent, polished result after every visit.

Seasonal Adjustments

As the seasons change, we adjust your services to match — adding seasonal plantings, preparing for winter, or refreshing the landscape for spring.

Ongoing Communication & Support

Our team is always available to answer questions, handle requests, or add services as your needs evolve. We provide responsive, flexible support to ensure long-term satisfaction.

Hardscape Maintenance

Commercial properties often rely on hardscaping to define space, manage traffic flow, and create welcoming outdoor environments. Over time, even the most durable patios, retaining walls, and walkways require upkeep. At Mitchell Outdoor & Design, we provide professional hardscape maintenance services to ensure your paved surfaces, stone features, and retaining walls remain safe, functional, and visually appealing. Whether it’s addressing settling pavers, replacing damaged bricks, cleaning stains, or releveling walkways, our team has the tools and experience to restore your hardscapes. We also inspect for drainage issues and structural wear to help you avoid costly repairs down the line and keep your exterior looking sharp and well-maintained.

Seasonal Cleanups & Maintenance

Maintaining a clean and professional landscape is a year-round responsibility, and Mitchell Outdoor & Design is here to help with tailored seasonal maintenance for commercial properties. In the spring, we clear away winter debris, refresh garden beds, prune trees and shrubs, and prepare your grounds for vibrant new growth. Summer maintenance keeps your landscape thriving with regular bed weeding, plant health monitoring, and trimming to ensure a neat and welcoming appearance. As fall arrives, we handle leaf removal, cut back perennials, and ready your property for colder weather. During the winter months, we offer snow removal services—including plowing and salting—to keep your business safe and accessible. Our winter services help protect your employees and customers from slips and falls while ensuring entrances, parking lots, and walkways remain clear and usable during snow and ice events.
