Let’s go over the importance of landscaping for commercial properties.
Any business, from brick-and-mortar companies to commercial leased property, knows the value of its location. And beyond the square footage of your office space or functioning HVAC systems, it’s important to step outside and look at your landscape. Could your landscape use an upgrade? This blog will look at how improving your landscape can improve your business, from getting more people in the door to improving the lives of your employees.
Improves Curb Appeal
Your business’s exterior can matter a lot to clients and customers. While a good sign and some paint can improve the building, it’s important to look at the surrounding grounds. From providing a memorable entrance with hardscaping and lighting to curb appeal from maintaining the lawns, trees, and shrubs, it’s vital to get a landscaping plan together.
Boosts Employee Morale
You can improve your employees’ outdoor experience on and off the clock. Creating private places outside allows them to unwind during breaks. Fences can provide privacy, and a multi-use patio gives you a place to conduct parties and meetings outside of the confines of the buildings. You can even start an employee garden to give employees an outlet for stress and team-building.
Increases Company Revenue
The benefit of commercial landscaping does not stop at simply attracting clients or customers, but it extends to adding economic value by making them spend more. A carefully designed and well-kept landscape gives customers and clients the impression that the business is competent and cares about the experience of its clients. This positive impression leads to an increase in revenue as customers desire to spend more and to return to a business where they enjoy being in and feel valued.
Improve Safety and Security
The first level of protection is the grounds surrounding your business. It is key to ensure walkways are in good repair and design the proper outdoor flow to move people and vehicles around your business. Likewise, landscaping lighting can make it easier to avoid stumbles in the dark, highlight your business, and increase security.
Prevent Soil Erosion and Building Protection
Heavy rainwater runoffs can carry sediment away if there are no plants to hold the soil together with their roots, especially on sloped properties. This can adversely affect the building’s structure and the quality of the rest of the property. Strategically planting the right trees and plants will prevent soil erosion and preserve the building’s structure and the property’s quality. This will also prevent soil from running off into the irrigation system or other water systems on the property, thus preserving the water quality.
