Commercial mowing and grounds care in Gorham, Maine.
Gorham's commercial ground is concentrated. The 2016 Comprehensive Plan reports that almost half of the town's non-residential land is industrial, much of it on Route 25 in or near the Gorham Industrial Park, with retail and services around the Village and along the main roads. Add the apartment and condominium properties, homeowner associations and mixed-use buildings in the Village Centers district, and there is a steady list of sites that need grounds kept to a standard.
Our maintenance crews run commercial mowing programs for offices, retail, HOAs and multi-unit properties, along with spring and fall cleanups, weeding and bed care.
Frontage, buffers and the Route 25 corridor
Gorham's plans put weight on how commercial frontage looks. The Comprehensive Plan calls for landscaped buffer strips at least 20 feet wide along the street in parts of the Route 25 corridor, and the Main Street Master Plan work in the Village includes an esplanade with street trees. Buffers and esplanades like these are planted once and then maintained for years, and they read as neglected quickly when edging and trimming lapse.
A program for a Gorham commercial site therefore goes beyond the mowed field: the street buffer, the tree lawns, the island plantings in the parking lot and the stormwater areas are on the schedule, not left for a separate cleanup.
Stormwater areas and cleanup timing
Many Gorham commercial and HOA sites carry vegetated swales or detention areas approved with the development. The plan notes Mosher Brook, across from the Industrial Park, was listed as impaired in 2010, and the town participates in the regional stormwater permit group. Clippings and leaves blown into a catch basin or a swale work against that system, so they are bagged or blown back onto turf, not into the drain.
Spring cleanups on these properties begin once the ground firms up, with winter sand swept from curb edges and beds cleared. Fall cleanups aim to get leaves off before the first snow. Where a site sits over the sand and gravel aquifer along the Standish line, a light hand with fertilizer is part of the program. UMaine Extension's advice to use phosphorus-free fertilizer unless a soil test shows a need applies to commercial turf as much as to home lawns, and mowing high with clippings returned reduces how much feeding a large site needs at all.
