8 reasons why your business should hire a landscaping company

 

The look of your business may reflect what is on the inside and affect someone's mood when entering your business. Whether you already have landscaping on your property or not, you should consider hiring a landscaping company to re-do or plan and execute a new landscaping project. In this blog, I will be listing some of the reasons it is a beneficial investment for your business property.

1 Create an inviting environment

Having nice landscaping and landscaping maintenance makes your office or store more inviting to customers. If the outside is an oasis, with many plants or is just beautiful in the layout and gardening, the people may be more relaxed and happy going into the welcoming building. The outside may also affect the employee’s mood if they can see the outside from a window, or if they go outside during breaks and lunch breaks. It is more inviting if all the trees and walkways are well kept, if it is left a mess, new customers may be a bit skeptical of your business because the environment can affect their views of your business.

2 They help plan every aspect with your input

A commercial landscaper will plan out the best-suited plants and layout to go along with your location. They will design a landscaping plan based on things like:

Size of the area: which plants fit well with the area to make sure it is visually appealing and suitable for the growth of the plants used.


Drainage: The drainage depends on the elevation of the area like a hill will ensure proper drainage. However, if there is a drainage issue, the plants and your property can be damaged.


Trees and plants in the area: If there are already large trees, they will make sure the right plants are used in the right area because of the shade that comes from the trees surrounding.


Your vision: Of course, they will also incorporate any items you already have in mind, or recommend similar ones they think would work best for the location.




They will use their expertise to not only ensure the best look, but also the easiest maintenance that suits your business and budget.

3 Match plants to your lifestyle

Depending on the landscaper, if they are only being hired for planning and installation, they will choose plants that best fit you and your budget. If you are planning on doing the maintenance after, they may recommend plants that don’t need too much maintenance and drought efficient plants like cacti, blue Festuca grass, Bird of Paradise, Lavender, California poppies, and more.




They will also plan out plants and designs that reflect your business’s values. For example, if you are a business that revolves around being eco-friendly, they will design a low-water plant landscape to help your business keep up with its brand throughout every aspect. If your business is an apartment, condo, hotel, or any other location that should be extra welcoming, they will design a homey and welcoming landscape to bring comfort to the people staying there.

4 They do the installation for you

A landscaper will do the installation of all aspects chosen by you or planned by them. They will add any installations like the mulch, flowers, edging for the flower beds, stones, fountains, or lights depending on the decided plans and what the company offers. This saves you time to focus on your business, especially since they have the expertise to finish it quicker.

5 Keep up with maintenance

If the landscaping company you hire is a commercial landscaping company, they will keep up with the maintenance after installing everything. You won’t have to worry about hiring more people to come and maintain the landscaping, saving you even more time. It also gives you less of a hassle if you would have had to do all the cleaning and maintenance yourself.

Landscaping maintenance usually consists of services including:

• Mowing

• Tree trimming

• Irrigation

• Fertilization

• Pruning

• Debris removal

• Mulching

• Cutting outgrown plants    + more!

6 Save space and money on equipment

Landscaping requires many different tools from the installation tools used, to the upkeep and maintenance tools. It would be best for you not to use your money on installation tools for just one landscaping project, because most of the time, you will only use them once and never use them again. So leave it up to the professionals who already have those tools, and know which tools to use so you don't purchase the wrong ones on accident and have to continue making trips to the store.

7 They know the correct amount of supplies needed

They also know the right amount of everything needed for the specific project. They are experts so know how much mulch or plants would be the right amount for your desired outcome. This will also prevent you from having to make multiple trips to the store or having a large excess of plants or products not used.

8 Save money in the long run

Even if you DIY with cheap plants and cheap alternatives, you are costing your business more money in the long run. If the landscape is not done professionally, there may be complications that will lead to needing to re-do some parts or all. For example, if the plants are not suited for your environment, it will take time and money to get them changed. The repairs may be costly, even for supplies if they break, and the initial purchases of tools. There may also be DIYs that are not up to code or are safety hazards which can cause you money in the long run as well.



Hire a landscaper to provide their expertise in the planning, installation, and maintenance of your business’s outdoor area. Landscaping is a huge contributor to your business environment so it is a great and valid thing to invest in. Research landscapers in your area to find companies that offer all the services you would like and enjoy a new outdoor oasis for you, employees, and customers.
