Managing a commercial property in Upstate New York means dealing with everything Mother Nature throws your way, from heavy spring rains and humid summers to mountains of fall leaves and brutal winter storms. If you're a property manager, facility director, or business owner, you know that maintaining professional-looking grounds year-round is both essential and exhausting. The last thing you need is to juggle multiple vendors, chase down contractors who don't show up, or explain to tenants why the parking lot wasn't plowed at 5 AM.
A Great Choice Lawn Care & Landscaping has been the trusted grounds maintenance partner for commercial properties across Greater Binghamton, Ithaca, and the Southern Tier since 1994. We provide comprehensive, year-round property maintenance through a single point of contact, which means less hassle for you and consistently beautiful, safe grounds for your tenants, customers, and employees.
Whether you manage an apartment complex, office park, retail center, or industrial facility, our commercial team delivers the reliability, professionalism, and results your property deserves.
Why Year-Round Property Maintenance Matters for Your Business
Your property's exterior is the first thing visitors, tenants, and customers see. Studies consistently show that well-maintained commercial landscapes increase property values, attract quality tenants, and create a positive impression that reflects on your business. But the benefits go beyond aesthetics.
Proper grounds maintenance protects your investment by preventing costly damage. Neglected drainage leads to foundation issues. Overgrown vegetation harbors pests. Uncleared snow and ice create slip-and-fall liability. A proactive maintenance program addresses these issues before they become expensive problems.
For property managers and facility directors, partnering with a single, reliable vendor also means simplified administration. One contract. One invoice. One phone call when you need something handled. That's the peace of mind that comes with choosing A Great Choice as your commercial property maintenance partner.
Our Commercial Property Maintenance Services
We offer a complete suite of grounds maintenance services designed to keep your property looking its best in every season. Unlike contractors who disappear after the growing season ends, we're here for you 12 months a year.
Grounds Care & Mowing
First impressions matter, and nothing says "professional" like a perfectly manicured lawn. Our commercial mowing services include weekly cutting at the proper height for your turf type, professional edging along walkways and parking areas, and debris removal to keep your property looking pristine. We use commercial-grade equipment that allows us to maintain large properties efficiently without sacrificing quality.
Landscape Design & Installation
When your property needs more than routine maintenance, our commercial landscaping team can design and install everything from foundation plantings to complete landscape renovations. Our owner holds an Ornamental Horticulture degree, which means you get expert guidance on plant selection that will thrive in Upstate New York's challenging climate while meeting your aesthetic goals and budget.
Hardscape Construction
Enhance your property's functionality and curb appeal with professional hardscape installations. We build retaining walls that solve drainage and erosion problems, patios and walkways that improve traffic flow, and water features that create memorable focal points. Our hardscape work uses quality materials from trusted manufacturers like Cambridge Pavers and Rosetta Hardscapes.
Seasonal Property Care
Upstate New York's dramatic seasonal changes require proactive property care. Our spring cleanup services clear winter debris, repair damage, and prepare your landscape for the growing season. Fall cleanup removes leaves, cuts back perennials, and prepares your property for winter. We also offer mulch installation to keep beds looking fresh and suppress weeds throughout the season.
Lawn Fertilization & Weed Control
A healthy, weed-free lawn doesn't happen by accident. Our commercial fertilization programs provide the nutrients your turf needs to stay thick and green, while our weed control services eliminate unsightly invaders before they take over. We also offer aeration and overseeding to rejuvenate tired, compacted lawns.
Snow & Ice Management
When winter storms hit, your property needs to be safe and accessible. Our commercial snow removal services include plowing, shoveling walkways, and ice control to keep your parking lots and sidewalks clear and reduce slip-and-fall liability. We monitor weather conditions around the clock during storm season and respond proactively so your property is ready for business when your tenants and customers arrive.
Need to stock up for self-treatment? We also offer bulk rock salt and ice melt with convenient delivery throughout the region.
Holiday Lighting
Make your property shine during the holiday season with professional holiday lighting installation. We handle design, installation, maintenance, and removal so you can create a festive atmosphere without the hassle or safety risks of doing it yourself.
