As the last vestiges of winter fade away, property owners and managers turn their attention toward their landscapes. How can you breathe new life into your property? What enhancements could elevate its appeal? Commercial landscaping isn’t just about making things look pretty; it’s about enhancing your property, boosting value, and fostering well-being. 

Learn how to take the stress off landscape enhancements and reach your goals by hiring professionals, investing in your landscape, and committing to its maintenance:

Adding Value to your Landscape

Elevate Curb Appeal 

Curb appeal isn’t just about making a property look attractive; it’s a strategic investment with tangible benefits in the business world. Landscaping elevates your property, helping you outshine competitors while bolstering your brand’s image. A well-kept landscape speaks volumes about your professionalism and attention to detail, setting the stage for positive customer interactions. Research conducted by the University of Washington, College of the Environment reveals that 9-12% of customers are drawn to central business districts with high-quality landscaping and well-maintained trees. Moreover, commercial business owners play a pivotal role in enhancing visual quality and fostering community well-being by creating and maintaining green spaces.

Maximize Property Value 

Research consistently demonstrates that exceptional landscaping can substantially boost property value. Whether you aim to secure higher lease rates or achieve a more favorable sale price, investing in your property’s landscape offers long-term advantages. Additionally, it sends a powerful message to customers or tenants, showcasing your commitment to their experience and potentially leading to increased sales and enhanced loyalty. Additionally, well-planned landscaping can also contribute to the reduction of energy costs, further solidifying its role as a wise and multifaceted investment.

Impact the Environment

Beyond its economic advantages, commercial landscaping serves as a vital pillar in environmental conservation. By releasing oxygen, absorbing CO2, and creating habitats for wildlife, strategically planted trees and shrubs fulfill a multitude of ecological functions. Carefully selecting landscaping elements not only maximizes environmental benefits but also minimizes maintenance requirements.

Promote Community Well-Being 

Beautiful outdoor spaces aren’t merely advantageous for business; they’re fundamental for fostering community well-being. Research indicates that spending time outdoors can significantly reduce stress levels and enhance productivity. By incorporating amenities such as benches, walking paths, and seating areas, commercial landscapes actively promote outdoor enjoyment. Whether it’s encouraging employees to take breaks outside, enticing customers to linger at your location, or contributing to community greens paces, these outdoor areas offer benefits for everyone who visits.

Simple Property Enhancements

Transforming your property doesn’t have to be complicated. Start with easy enhancements such as seasonal color changes and mulch application. For a more significant impact, consider hardscape design or irrigation installation to elevate and improve your landscape. These upgrades not only enhance aesthetics but also improve functionality and sustainability.

Seasonal Color Changes: Embrace the vibrancy of each season by refreshing your landscape with new flowers and foliage. Keep your outdoor space interesting and inviting. For smaller spaces or entryways, consider potted plants.

Mulch Reapplication: Maintain the appearance of your pathways and garden beds effortlessly with regular mulch reapplication. Not only is this an easy way to refresh your landscape and curb appeal, but it also contributes to the overall cleanliness and upkeep of your landscape. 

Hardscapes: Hardscapes offer the opportunity to strategically enhance landscapes with precision and detail. Even smaller properties, particularly those in urban areas, can reap the benefits of well-thought-out hardscape design. Incorporating elements such as water features, carefully placed lighting, and retaining walls not only elevates curb appeal but also infuses your property with an added layer of sophistication.

Irrigation Systems: Invest in your softscapes and lawns with a dependable irrigation system. Beyond ensuring lush greenery, proper drainage safeguards against waterlogging and other potential property issues, preserving the integrity and longevity of your landscape

Green Walls: Vertical gardens are gaining popularity as a modern innovation. Not only do they save ground space, but they offer a contemporary aesthetic to outdoor areas. Green walls serve a dual purpose as natural air purifiers, promoting a healthier environment while adding a touch of nature to urban settings. They can also act as partitions, effortlessly dividing outdoor spaces into functional zones.
