LOT SWEEPING
Its More Important then you may think
Studies have shown that cleanliness ranks as a top factor in determining where people shop. In most cases if the customer does not like what he sees on the outside they will not go inside.
In today’s highly competitive market, business property owners can’t afford the tarnished image caused by cutting back on exterior grounds maintenance, and regular sweeping, line striping and crack sealing is arguably the most important component contributing to overall looks. Following are some of the many reasons why it is so important to retain a reputable lot maintenance contractor on an ongoing basis:
- Sand, dirt and other trash are abrasive, and will dramatically shorten the useful life of pavement, as well as the length of service time of any sealcoating, striping,crack sealent etc.
- When dirt is allowed to stay on pavement, it very quickly starts deteriorating the paving material. This is especially true when enough dirt collects to start plants growing, since their roots cause cracking in cement and asphalt. Replacement costs for pavement far exceed the routine expense of sweeping and crack sealing.
- Keeping litter picked up reduces the chances of slip-and-fall injuries, as well as the business property’s potential liability in any resultant lawsuits.

Outside parking areas are where business owners hope their potential customers will come up with favorable ‘first impression.’ - People like to patronize the successful. Clearly a maintained parking area makes you look successful.
- Even the most beautiful landscaping is negated by a parking lot cluttered with debris.
- Correct management of storm water runoff is a big factor for owners of parking areas today. Sweeping is a Best Management Practice for storm water runoff, and a structured sweeping program can help to ensure the business is doing all it can to minimize pollutants in its storm water runoff
