Case Study
A Burlington-area property manager was juggling three seasonal vendors across three sites — one for mud-season, one for fall cleanup, one for pre-winter prep. GreenCore rolled all of it onto one annual calendar with one crew, one written scope, and priority slot booking before each weather-driven rush.
The Challenge
A facility manager at a Burlington-area real estate group was running three sites — a 40-unit apartment complex, a 32,000 sq ft office park, and a small mixed-use storefront — each on a different seasonal contractor. Mud-season washdowns, fall leaf cleanups, and pre-winter prep were booked separately, each with its own quote, schedule, and follow-up conversation. The hidden cost was coordination: chasing vendors during the first hard freeze, no priority slot before each weather-driven rush, and no consistent written scope to point to across the portfolio.
The Resolution
GreenCore rolled all three sites into a single annual seasonal contract: mud-season washdown in spring, mid-summer grounds reset, fall leaf and gutter cleanup, and pre-winter prep before sustained freeze. One crew, one written scope per season, and reserved calendar slots locked in 3–4 weeks before each weather-driven rush — so the facility manager stopped chasing vendors every fall and could show the property owners a single seasonal report at every quarterly review.
Scope of work
Spring thaw rinse — walkways, vestibules, dumpster pads reset before complaints roll in at any of the three sites.
Leaf load, gutter flush, parking-lot washdown, and storm-drain protection across all three sites before the first hard freeze.
Final exterior rinse, entry reset, and a written storm-response plan left on file at every site before sustained freeze.
Before / After
Illustrative placeholders — actual before/after photos to be added once the facility manager signs off.
Post-thaw vestibule at the apartment site had three months of salt residue and mud tracks tracked into the lobby. Hot-water rinse on tile and entry mat reset — tenant complaints on the morning after the route dropped to zero.
Office park downspouts were leaf-loaded to the brim with overflow staining the walkway and pooling at the entry. Gutter flush on the full roof run, leaf-pile grounds reset around the parking lot, and storm-drain protection installed. Cleared before the first freeze two weeks later.
