What Can Your Customers Gain From a Commercial Landscape?

Your customers have something to gain from a commercial landscape that’s designed and maintained by our expert team, both visually and functionally. Offering an experience that starts before anyone even enters the property creates high expectations once they’re inside, interacting with you and your employees.

For a restaurant, outdoor dining can become more comfortable and separate diners from parking lots and roads. In retail, entrances are easier to identify, and the transition inside is more inviting. For an office building, trees, lawns, walking paths, and seating areas give employees somewhere to hold an informal conversation or take a small break outdoors.

We have options for every setting and every business, including the target audiences that you serve, and the passersby you’re trying to attract.

How Do You Shape a Commercial Landscape Plan?

Some properties look their best with weekly lawn care and a simple landscape layout, while others call for a broader combination of services. We adapt to the space, letting your current and future goals for the property guide every design and maintenance decision.

We’ll work together to shape your plan by:

• Evaluating your property’s layout
• Understanding your maintenance priorities
• Selecting practical plant varieties
• Planning functional landscape features
• Creating a seasonal care schedule

What Landscape Layout Works for a Large Property?

A landscape layout is the physical arrangement and organization of everything in your outdoor space. It defines what goes where, how the different areas relate to one another, and how people move through and use the property. They vary extensively. Two businesses can occupy similarly sized lots and still need very different arrangements.

Square footage is only one part of the equation, so if you have a large commercial property, that doesn’t tell us enough to pitch an idea. Slope, physical obstacles, building placement, parking areas, existing vegetation, and drainage all influence what can go where. After an assessment, we typically divide properties into zones. This allows us to create better transitions and use scale appropriately, while concentrating more detailed landscaping where it works.

When Is It Worth Prioritizing a Functional Landscape Design?

Functionality describes what your landscape does for the property beyond appearance. Some landscapes lean heavily toward visual impact, while others are planned around practical use, and most fall somewhere between the two. Giving function greater priority can make sense when your outdoor space has a job to perform or when its current design creates problems.

A functional design is especially valuable when customers regularly step through outdoor areas and need clear routes to your entrance. You can also solve problems that appearance alone cannot, such as an exposed outdoor area that needs shade or privacy, or unused space that could support gathering. Even the placement of planting beds can serve a purpose by guiding people toward intended routes and discouraging shortcuts through vulnerable areas.

When Should You Upgrade Commercial Landscaping Maintenance?

If you consistently step outside and find your landscape looking overgrown, patchy, or neglected, it’s time to rethink your maintenance plan. We have the tools and the team to keep the space looking bright and polished, which is especially beneficial if you have an elaborate layout with a combination of hardscaping and landscaped gardens.

Commercial landscaping maintenance also deserves an upgrade if you’re spending too much time and money on repairs. Drainage issues, declining plant health, irrigation problems, or damaged landscape features are a few signs that you need more comprehensive upkeep. With our help, you can bring your property back to a standard you’re proud to show off.

Can You Reduce the Cost of Landscape Maintenance?

You may want to reduce landscape maintenance even if you aren’t the one performing it. Less upkeep can mean lower ongoing costs, fewer service visits, and less time spent thinking about the property’s landscaping overall. That’s a fair priority, and if it suits your goals, we can explore several ways to design your landscape with a lighter maintenance burden in mind.

A few possibilities to consider now include:

• Replacing difficult-to-maintain lawn areas with planting beds
• Choosing slower-growing trees and shrubs
• Grouping plants with similar watering needs
• Installing ground cover in areas where mowing is impractical
• Creating wider, defined borders that simplify mowing and edging
• Using mulch to limit weed growth and retain soil moisture

How Do You Keep High-Traffic Commercial Landscapes Looking Their Best?

One of the issues with high-traffic commercial landscapes is the potential for constant wear and tear. This can manifest in a few different ways, depending on the layout. Your lawn might develop bare patches, for example, or hardscaped areas collect dirt and debris more frequently.

In busy environments, we often start by recommending more frequent maintenance visits. In many cases, high-traffic landscapes only have issues because they aren’t cared for enough. If that’s not enough, we can revise the design. Something relatively simple, like installing lights along a walkway or a protective border around planting beds, can make a big difference.
