Getting Your Parking Lot Ready for Spring

Snow, ice, frigid temperatures, wind, salt and many other types of harsh elements and conditions can take a toll on your parking lot during the winter months. So, as spring approaches, here are some tips for getting that area spruced up.

Repairing cracks and holes

Melting snow reveals a host of problems that need repairing, such as cracks and potholes in the parking lot. Aside from being a tripping hazard, parking lot and sidewalk cracks detract from your facility’s visual appeal. Work with a professional company to get any needed work done correctly the first time.

Clearing leaves and other debris

Receding snow and ice can reveal a lot of clutter left over from fall. For the sake of appearance and safety, clear this stuff from your parking areas.

Checking signage

As you get ready for spring, it is an ideal time to evaluate your parking lot area’s signage to make sure it is adequate, effective, visible and hasn’t been damaged by harsh winter weather. Overall, make sure the parking lot area is safe for drivers, cyclists, pedestrians and all others who will be on your property.

Correcting lighting issues

Although there is much more daylight during the spring and summer months than during winter, you still need to make sure your parking lot area has adequate lighting. Verify that all lightbulbs are properly working. Keep in mind that exterior lighting can provide a great deal of ambiance, so it might be a good time to upgrade the aesthetics of your fixtures.

Improving landscaping

Your climate will determine when the best time for new plantings in and around your parking area will be, but you can prepare now. For starters, perform a thorough cleanup by pruning and removing dead branches and trimming overgrown grass and shrubs. Beyond that, Majestic can help you plan and implement a seasonal landscaping program, including prepping, planting and ongoing maintenance.
