How To Create An Attractive Commercial Landscape

Creating an attractive commercial landscape is a complex and daunting task. It is a necessary endeavor for any commercial property manager who wants their property to reach peak performance. No commercial property regardless of type will meet expectations if the landscape is not attractive. Tenants will not choose to live at that apartment complex, and businesses will not house themselves in that office building. Instead, they will choose the competition, and take their money to that property with the pristine landscape. However, with Priority Landscape, the creation of this attractive commercial landscape does not need to be expensive or complicated. This is exactly how to do it.

General Landscape Maintenance

Before considering the addition of anything new to the landscape, you need to take care of what is already present. This includes basic lawn care like mowing and edging, as well as fertilization to add nutrients and aeration to prevent soil compaction. Once the lawn is taken care of you need to make sure that trees and shrubs are taken care of as well. They can be trimmed and pruned routinely, which we discussed in another blog this month.

Landscape Bed Management

An important part of the landscape that needs to look nice is plant beds. These areas can either take away from the property by being disheveled and out of sorts, or add to the aesthetic of the property by being uniform and structured. This is accomplished by making sure beds are edged which provides lining to indicate exactly where the turf ends and the bed begins. That same edged area can then be filled with mulch, which is essential not only to the attractiveness of the commercial landscape but also to the health of the plant material. This conceptually applies to any area that is occupied by flowers, shrubs, or trees. If your property lacks these types of areas, the first thing on your to-do list should be to install areas where planting can be performed. Every property needs some combination of blooming flowers and structural shrubs to maximize its attractiveness. Make sure to rotate annual flowers for consistent color during each season of the year. 

Snow Removal for Harsh Northern Winters

All of the properties we service within our domain are planted squarely in the northernmost areas of the United States. With that comes consistent bouts of inclement weather, including snowstorms. When this happens it can shut down your property entirely. Your property simply cannot be attractive when stuck under a layer of snow and ice that renders the property inaccessible.

Irrigation Installation and Maintenance

The last way to create an attractive commercial landscape that we will mention is irrigation. Like the lawn care services we discussed at the beginning of the blog, irrigation helps disperse nutrients better, in this case, water. Modern irrigation systems based upon automation and active tracking of weather data get water to the right places, improving the health of the turf. When turf is healthy it rewards the property with a luscious green look that is sure to impress. Utilize all of these recommendations to create an attractive commercial landscape.
