New people are moving into Riverside all of the time, and there’s always a healthy population of new students in the area too. That’s good news for businesses and property owners, but not so good news for the condition of your property.
More people means that more recyclables and garbage will be left on your property. Parking lot sweeping services are essential to keep your property looking it’s best.
Parking lot sweeping is likely the most cost-effective way you have to keep things clean, and meet your customers or tenants’ expectations of how your exterior should look. Riverside is home to the biggest paper cup in the world, and that’s just one indication that the city is fond of recycling.
To meet expectations in this city, you need to have an immaculate parking lot and property exterior. Universal Site Services can help with parking lot sweeping in Riverside, as well as day porter services, pressure washing, landscaping services and graffiti removal. We can handle any size parking lot, including retail, industrial, commercial and residential areas.
You may have been surprised to learn that we are one of the oldest parking lot sweepers and day porter service providers in the Riverside area. Our founder, Leonard J. Vella, opened a parking lot sweeping service in Silicon Valley more than 55 years ago!
Leonard wanted to serve a few customers with thorough and reliable cleaning services that were attuned to their needs. He started with a single truck but soon discovered that his business model was successful. What began as a small, family-focused business expanded into a 24/7, complete site service company. Now, we not only serve many areas of California but also Nevada and Arizona.
The Vella family decided to rename their business Universal Site Services to communicate better the wide range of services we offer here. While we have grown, we’ve maintained Leonard’s focus on reliability and professionalism.
Parking lot sweeping isn’t just about doing your part to keep trash off the streets. By keeping things well maintained outside, you protect your business and you protect your investment in your property. Here are just a few of the other benefits of parking lot sweeping in Riverside:
Sweeping isn’t as expensive as filling up cracks and holes in your parking lot. Oil and gas runoff and other debris can make your parking lot wear down faster. That means you have to pay more, more frequently for repairs. For example, trash and landscaping debris encourage water to stick around longer, potentially blocking drainage points, which means that the water has more time to erode your asphalt. When there’s no trash, water drains off as it should. And, if it still doesn’t, take a look at our landscape options. We can help manage your wastewater too.
When a customer is driving up to your business, the first thing they notice is your parking lot. Does yours welcome them in, or make them second guess if your quality is up to their standards? Your parking lot is a reflection of your pride in your business, how well you handle the details, and how much you care about their experience on your property. It’s not just high-end locales that have a reputation to protect. Every business and property need to look good to make customers and tenants feel welcome. If someone finds themselves thinking about the poor state of your parking lot, they may hop right back into their car or have lowered expectations on what their experience will be at your location.
Parking lot sweeping removes dirt and debris, but it also keeps harmful substances from ending up in our water and air. Everyone who owns a parking lot faces the unfortunate problem when someone rolls into their parking lot leaking oil. If you leave the oil it will likely leak out into nearby water and pollute. People may bring other environmental hazards into your parking lot. Universal Site Services can clean up your lot before your debris ends up harming nature.
Industrial sites may need even more specific hazardous substance management for their parking lot to protect customers, staff and the public. At Universal Site Services, we can help. Our sweepers stop chemicals from entering the storm drains. Plus, we use a regenerative air system that removes pollutants and non-polluting particles which help combat Riverside’s smog.
It may seem counter-intuitive, but people litter less when they are in a clean environment. Regular cleaning will help to lower your overall parking lot sweeping needs, as those who visit the lot become more conscious of their impact on the property. This social pressure is especially effective in residential parking lots where those moving in or out might be tempted to abandon their unwanted items when the lot is a mess. Or, where people would rather leave their trash in the lot than dispose of it properly. One bad tenant can spoil the parking lot for everyone else. Don’t let them. Get consistent parking lot sweeping instead.
If you’re sold on the idea of parking lot sweeping, but you’re considering asking your staff to handle the problem, you may want to reconsider. We understand why this might be your first instinct. After all, your staff are already at your property, and they understand its needs, and they may even have cleaning equipment? So, why not?
Well, there are many reasons that your own staff can’t be as thorough, efficient, or cost-effective as we can.
