Attachment 1- Seasonal Landscape Maintenance Schedule.pdf

This document is a Fresno VA Hospital Maintenance Procedures schedule outlining monthly turf and grounds maintenance tasks across multiple landscape categories. The procedures are organized by month and specify required maintenance activities for Planters, Trees, Shrubs, and Irrigation System components throughout the calendar year.

January through December maintenance includes year-round turf care with mowing and edging required as needed to maintain 3" height, removal of trash and debris, and regular inspection and cleaning of drainage areas. Planter maintenance involves replenishing mulch, checking debris, removing weeds, and applying pre-emergent herbicide to control weeds less than 3" in height. Tree care requires structural pruning, inspection for pest disease, and pest/disease treatment as necessary. Shrub maintenance includes shape and lift pruning to maintain proper appearance and groundcover of walkways. Irrigation system maintenance requires monthly inspection and checking of water time and irrigation filters, with adjustments and cleaning performed as needed. Seasonal variations are noted, with spring through summer months (March through August) emphasizing increased inspection frequency and pre-emergent herbicide application, while fall and winter months (September through December) focus on debris removal and equipment maintenance. All maintenance tasks require documented inspection and corrective measures if problems are identified during routine checks.
