So while surges in cases have led to ongoing shutdowns in some states, other states experienced lower numbers and were able to allow businesses to resume with caution. If you find yourself in the position to reopen after a prolonged shut-down, your instinctive reaction may be to muster your staff and plan to fling open your doors immediately.  That would be a mistake. Though you’re naturally motivated to re-open as soon as humanly possible, and while logic would dictate your business would remain in pristine condition while closed, the laws of nature have the final say. You may have left your business in perfect condition when you closed your doors for the shut-down, but that alone won’t guarantee a successful reopening. Not without a little help.

To that end, your [landscaping and grounds maintenance](https://www.strategicgrounds.com/blog/post-coronavirus-spring-maintenance-plan-for-your-business/) should be at the top of your list of tasks to attend to before you re-open.  Make sure trees and bushes are neat, the grass is freshly mowed, and the edges are trimmed and sharp. And where necessary, you should also take care of the following tasks: - Lay fresh mulch  - Turn-on and perform a check on your irrigation system - Apply fertilizer to your turf - Mend your fences - Check for water damage ## Continue with Exteriors Once you’ve completed your landscaping checklist, you’ll want to address your facility’s outer appearance. Nothing says “We’re open for business!” quite like a fresh, shiny exterior.  When it comes to exterior maintenance, pressure washing, and window washing should both be top of mind. Scrubbing away accumulated dust, dirt, pollen, and grime will go a long way toward demonstrating to your customers and clients that you are still at the top of your game and ready to serve them in whatever ways they require. ## We Can Help We know there is a lot to keep up with these days and many businesses are short on staff.
