Summer Maintenance for Brisbane Properties: Proactive Care That Lasts

Summer in Brisbane Brings Growth and Storms

Summer in Brisbane means hot days, heavy rains, and unpredictable storms. For commercial properties, strata complexes, and body corporates, this season demands more than mowing and trimming. Without proactive care, lawns dry out, weeds spread, and storm damage becomes costly. Brisbane Commercial Property Maintenance is here to prepare your grounds so they stay safe, attractive, and easy to manage throughout the season.

Summer Gardening and Property Care Tasks

Irrigation and Water Efficiency

• Check and repair irrigation systems for maximum efficiency.

• Apply soil wetting agents to help lawns and garden beds absorb water during hot spells.

• Schedule watering early in the morning to reduce evaporation.

Mulching and Soil Protection

• Refresh mulch across garden beds to reduce heat stress, retain soil moisture, and prevent weeds.

• Use mulch where possible to enrich the soil.

• Use mulch Glue to keep mulch in place to help with mulch drift ( movment of mulch dew to wind, water, or physical disturbance like by animals)
  

Storm Preparation

• Inspect trees and remove at-risk or overhanging branches before storm season.

• Clear gutters, drains, and grates to minimise flood risk.

• Secure outdoor fixtures and signage to prevent storm damage.

Weed and Pest Control

• Apply pre-emergent herbicides to stop summer weeds before they appear.

• Conduct regular lawn inspections for pests like lawn grubs and treat early.

• Combine chemical and cultural controls to reduce long-term costs for clients.

Planting and Seasonal Colour

• Introduce hardy native plants and ornamentals that withstand Brisbane’s summer heat.

• Offer seasonal colour displays to keep properties vibrant for residents and visitors.

Lawn and Turf Management

• Aerate compacted lawns to improve water absorption.

• Apply slow-release fertiliser to sustain healthy turf through summer growth.

• Adjust mowing schedules to keep grass at an optimal height without stress.

Why Proactive Maintenance Matters

Summer brings unique risks: dry lawns, overgrown vegetation, blocked drainage, and storm damage. Neglecting these areas increases long-term repair costs and impacts the safety and appearance of shared spaces.

By addressing problems before they arise, BCPM saves property managers and body corporates time, reduces emergency call-outs, and ensures properties look their best year-round.
