Home / Blog / Common Commercial Landscaping Mistakes to Avoid

If you own or manage a commercial property, you’re probably spending much of your time, energy, and investment on interior renovations and services. However, your landscaping and overall curb appeal can have a major impact on the emotional health of your employees and customers, as well as the safety and value of your building. Don’t miss out on these benefits by making the following mistakes.

Working with a Poor Foundation

Most commercial landscaping was designed to be bland, neutral, and inexpensive. If you have poor commercial landscaping, you may be focusing on simply maintaining your current arrangement. However, don’t let a poor history of landscaping keep you from shaking things up and going in a new direction.

Neglecting the Security Benefits of Landscaping

Bushes and hedges can be an excellent way to protect your privacy and deter criminals. When you choose a professional commercial landscaping company, you’ll enjoy the tips and tricks of the trade that allow you to protect your property and offer more privacy for your customers. A few bushes or privacy trees can be all you need to prevent a break-in or allow your employees to be at ease while working.

Avoiding Professional Landscaping

For many businesses, the current strategy is simply to avoid any work on landscaping. This can quickly leave you with a mess of weeds, strewn rocks, and dirty walkways. Professional landscaping is worth the investment in terms of aesthetics, property value, and safety.

Hiring an Inexperienced Landscaper

Unqualified, uncertified or inexperienced landscapers can often cause more headaches than they are worth. Poorly chosen or installed plant materials, poorly designed irrigation systems and ineffectively applied fertilizers and chemicals can damage and even destroy your landscape. Protecting your landscape investment should only be entrusted to trained and qualified landscape professionals.
