Because smart planning starts in the summer.
June isn’t just for landscaping and poolside repairs—it’s your best window to plan for everything your properties will need this year, especially when it comes to snow and ice management. Strategic Grounds Management (SGM) helps facility teams across the country stay ahead with a single-source solution for year-round exterior services.

Why June Matters

If you're managing dozens—or hundreds—of locations, you already know the chaos that comes with last-minute planning. Delaying contracts until fall often means:
    •    Higher snow removal rates
    •    Limited vendor availability
    •    Gaps in insurance or safety compliance
    •    Stressful RFP scrambles


June gives you time to think strategically, not reactively.

Your June Property Checklist
Whether you're overseeing self-storage sites, shopping centers, or medical offices, June is the time to:


🌿 Tidy Up Your Landscaping
    •    Inspect irrigation systems for leaks or inefficiencies
    •    Replace damaged plantings or dead turf
    •    Address overgrowth that can create security or visibility issues
    •    Schedule trimming and mulching for aesthetics and safety
🧊 Start Snow Removal Prep
    •    Review last year’s performance: Were there delays? Safety incidents?
    •    Update specs and site maps while conditions are clear
    •    Lock in pricing and availability before peak demand
    •    Ensure your vendor is fully insured and trained for slip & fall prevention
📋 Audit Your Vendor List
    •    How many exterior service providers are you managing?
    •    Are you receiving timely reports and photos for work completed?
    •    Could you consolidate contracts under one national partner?
