Plan Your Budget Accurately
Your building’s landscape says a lot about your business. It tells your guests and potential clients that you care about your company, you respect the opinion of others, and that you are professional and tidy. No one wants to enter a property with mismatched flowers, dying plants, or overgrown hedges.
To leave a good impression, the landscape is critical. With budgeting season on the horizon, it’s time to figure out how to budget for the landscape.
Budget for Improvements
Are you considering improvements to your building this year? When it comes to budgeting, do not only include things that come with your regular package or contract. You may need plant replacements or other upgrades. Try to plan for about 20% to 30% on top of your regular expenditures for any improvements that your landscape may need this year.
Budget for Maintenance
Visible, high-profile places require weekly maintenance. If you have one of these buildings, you may need to budget between $10,000 and $30,000 a year. However, if you have a warehouse or a more hidden building, you may require less money to maintain the landscape. Regardless of the type of building you have, you should always have money set aside for maintenance.

Budget for the Long Term
Your trees and plants may last about ten years. You need to factor in storm damage, disease, and other damaging factors. When you think about your long-term budget, you’ll know whether you have to replace certain trees this year or in the next year’s budget.
