Commercial property walk-throughs can identify seasonal wear, source says

A commercial property walk-through in September can provide a clearer view of seasonal wear than one conducted in June, according to the source. The inspection examines conditions that may have worsened gradually after a full season of use.

Examples include thinning turf along frequently used paths, bed edges that have lost their definition, shrubs crowding walkways or signs, and irrigation heads knocked out of alignment by mower traffic.

The source says these issues may not be urgent, but allowing them to continue into the following year can result in a larger scope of work. A written condition summary can be provided to an ownership group and used as a basis for budgeting.

The source offers a walk-through separate from a routine maintenance visit for properties that have not received one during the season. The listed contact number is (812) 267-8559.
