Landscaping & snow services.

Grounds are a year-round obligation

CS1 maintains landscaping through the growing season and mobilizes snow crews the moment the forecast turns — the same portfolio-wide accountability we bring to construction, applied to everything outside the building.

Grounds are the one scope a property is judged on every single day, in every season — and the one where a missed response becomes a liability claim. An unplowed walk or a hanging limb doesn’t wait for a convenient schedule. Putting landscaping, tree work and snow response under one seasonal contract with defined response times means one call, one accountable vendor, and no gaps between them.

Our grounds services

• Landscaping installation & maintenance. Planting, mowing, edging and mulching on a schedule that keeps curb appeal constant.
• Emergency tree services. Storm-downed limbs and hazardous trees removed fast, before they become claims.
• Snow plowing, shoveling & de-icing. Lots, walks and entries cleared to defined response times — liability managed, residents moving.
• Seasonal cleanups. Spring and fall resets that keep beds, drains and gutters ready for what’s next.
• Common-area grounds repairs. Fences, signage, playground surfaces and site furniture kept safe and presentable.

Seasonal contracts with defined response times — one vendor, one standard, all year.

CS1 maintains grounds for communities throughout the Mid-Atlantic, including Baltimore, Silver Spring, Rockville and Temple Hills in Maryland; Alexandria, Fairfax, Falls Church, Annandale, Springfield and Herndon in Virginia; and every quadrant of Washington, D.C. Snow crews are staged regionally and mobilize the moment the forecast turns, so lots, walks and entries are cleared to contract before residents start their day.
