For commercial and industrial clients, curb appeal matters, but landscaping goes way beyond attractive green spaces. For businesses, a landscape plan should also include safety, accessibility and environmental considerations. With the right partner, you can impress your customers, benefit your community and comply with local, state and federal requirements all at the same time.

Why Is Landscaping Important for My Commercial Property?

Every commercial client wants their property to look well cared for and inviting, even if your business doesn’t involve a lot of client traffic on site. Safety and accessibility also come into play at a much higher level than in your own backyard. Here are some important factors to consider when planning your commercial landscape:

  • Curb appeal for clients: Whether or not your customers are frequently on site, it’s important to have a well-tended facility that looks and feels inviting.
  • Employee safety and work environment: Your employees’ safety and state of mind are important. We want to create a healthy work environment that encourages well-being and productivity.
  • Corporate citizenship: Even if your business doesn’t see a lot of foot traffic, maintaining a well-kept landscape is a big benefit for your community, setting an example for neighbors and keeping property values high.
  • Safety and accessibility: Making sure your commercial property is safe and accessible with clear walkways and parking areas and plenty of lighting is key.
  • Environmental concerns: managing stormwater and other environmental concerns is an important consideration for any commercial property, especially industrial businesses.

What Kinds of Businesses Can Benefit from Landscape Services?

We know our clients in retail and service industries want their stores and office buildings to look their best.

  • Warehouses
  • Supply facilities
  • Shipping facilities
  • Transport companies

Commercial Properties: Keeping Things Neat

For commercial and industrial clients, the basics matter. Your landscape certainly doesn’t need to be a suburban oasis if you’re operating a warehouse. However, neat and well-tended are descriptions you want to apply to any commercial property. It says “we care about our community” loud and clear. Some of the most important commercial landscape services include:

  • Mowing of turf on a regularly scheduled program throughout the growing season.
  • Maintaining edges at beds, turf, and hardscapes.
  • Pruning shrubs and small trees.
  • Fertilization of shrubs, trees, ground covers, and turf.
  • Weed control in shrubs and turf.
  • Seasonal color.
  • Mulching of trees and shrub beds.

Commercial Landscaping: Beyond Grounds Maintenance

For commercial clients, even more than for residential properties, it’s not just about looking good. Efficiency, accessibility and safety are all essential parts of any landscape plan. Some of the most important elements your landscape plan should cover include:

  • Keeping irrigation systems in great shape: this year’s hot dry summer has reminded us of how important a solid irrigation system is for commercial properties. Today’s smart and efficient irrigation systems can save your company money by watering exactly when and where needed. High-tech timers and sprinklers need regular maintenance and monitoring, and a professional team can help keep your irrigation system in good shape so it needs to be replaced less frequently.
  • Stormwater control is an essential element for industrial clients since local, state and federal regulations require businesses to have management plans in place to deal with rain and snow runoff. This keeps pollution out of rivers and streams. We can help with elements like landscaping designed to absorb rainwater and reduce erosion, effective use of gravel surfaces and drainage systems.
  • Lighting: Offering safe access to your property day and night is important. Your commercial landscaper can help with attractive outdoor lighting systems that improve visibility and make access easier.
  • Snow and ice removal is another job we take very seriously. Having clear parking lots and walkways is required by law and essential for keeping your business safe for employees and visitors. We know that responsiveness is key when snow and ice removal are needed and are ready to meet your needs.
