Retail
Retail is no longer any different from the rest of commercial properties when it comes to the need for a sharp landscape. Nobody wants to shop at a strip mall filled with dead plants and icy parking lots. That is right, these properties not only need landscaping, but are also in dire need of snow removal. In combination with a snow plow, these retail properties require a delicate touch to maximize what can be a small space. If there is turf it needs to be carefully maintained, as to not scare off potential customers with decay and dirt.

Driving Foot Traffic
In comparison to every other type of commercial property, the goal of retail landscaping is unique. Yes, the goal is to maximize profits, but not by attracting new tenants and locking in old tenants. Foot traffic is the name of the game in retail, as you need to attract a high quantity of customers making smaller purchases. This can be done with the landscape, using bright flowers to catch the eye, and making sure that walkways are both clean and lined with plant material. As a property owner, you need a landscaping company that will prioritize the important metric, the curb appeal of your shopping center.
I served as the HOA president of a subdivision in Cedar Lake, IN and hired Priority Landscape to maintain our property (lawn care, fertilization, irrigation, trimming and snow removal). Priority does yeoman’s work with integrity and respect. Our account manager was very responsive and the team that cared for our property was very respectful. I would recommend Priority to anyone.
