A month-by-month grounds calendar for Southern Maine
Timing shifts a week or two between the coast and inland towns and from one year to the next, but the sequence holds.
- March to April: walk the site as snow recedes, list plow and salt damage, clear debris and sand from lawns and beds, check drainage inlets.
- Late April to May: spring cleanup, bed edging and mulch, turf repair along plowed edges, first mowing, pruning of summer-flowering shrubs.
- June: seasonal color goes in after frost risk passes, irrigation checks, weed control in beds and hardscape joints.
- July to August: steady mowing adjusted for dry spells, watering new plantings, mid-season inspections of trees and shrubs.
- September: core aeration and overseeding of worn turf, plan next year's changes while the site is at its fullest.
- October to November: leaf removal, fall cutbacks, final mow, snow stakes and site map before the ground freezes.
- December to February: snow and ice season, plus a winter look at tree structure while branches are bare.
What a property inspection should look at
A walkthrough is most useful when it follows the same checklist each time, so changes show up. Cover trip hazards on walks and heaved pavers, pooled water after rain, dead or hazardous branches over parking and entrances, signs and lights hidden by growth, damaged curbing, and beds that have spread onto walks. Note the location and date so the next visit can confirm the fix, and share the list with whoever handles the building so issues like a failing downspout reach the right person.
Repairing snow and salt damage in spring
Plow damage and salt burn are predictable, so plan for them rather than treating them as surprises. Plowed-up turf along lot edges needs loam, seed and time; salt-damaged strips along walks often do better with tougher grasses or with low-maintenance plantings for commercial properties that tolerate salt and foot traffic. Heaved or displaced pavers near entrances should be reset before they become a tripping complaint.
Inputs that shape the maintenance budget
Scope, not a price list, drives what a season costs. When you request proposals, give every bidder the same information so they are comparable.
- Turf area, bed area and the number of trees and shrubs to prune.
- Mowing frequency and how the plan handles drought or rainy stretches.
- Seasonal color: how many beds, containers or rotations per year.
- Whether irrigation, mulch, cleanup and inspections are included or billed separately.
- Hardscape repair allowance, and whether snow service is part of the same contract.
