 Journalist and author Malcolm Gladwell said “We don't know where our first impressions come from or precisely what they mean, so we don't always appreciate their fragility”, and his saying can very well apply to commercial landscaping.
Really, your landscaping is the first impression that customers and passersby have of your business. But commercial landscaping is often the last thing on a busy business owners mind. You may not realize just how important your first impression is, though, so here is our take on the top benefits that professional commercial landscaping can have for your company. Boost Your Curb Appeal Perhaps the most important benefit of a well-maintained landscape is attracting the eye (and business!) of foot traffic and drivers. If your storefront is weed free, well-trimmed, and decorated with fitting greenery, potential customers are going to notice. On the other hand, if your lawn is unkempt and overgrown, people are more likely to walk on by. And you might not think that a maintained landscape is important in your industry, but keep in mind that every customer perception says something about your brand. Do you want to come off as clean and well-kept or as sloppy and mismatched? Save Time and Money Doing your own landscaping is always an option. But, generally speaking, your time is more valuable than that. Every hour spent not growing your business is money that you are leaving on the table. So do what you do best and leave your lawn to a professional commercial landscaper. Show Off Your Attention to Detail Customers want to know that you are going to care about the little things. It doesn’t matter if you are a plumber, a lawyer, or an auto mechanic—attention to detail builds trust. If your landscaping shows that your business cares enough about choosing the right shrubs and keeping grass and trees maintained, how much more will your customers know that you will take their needs seriously. Increase Your Property Value Just like residential property values can be increased with professional landscaping, so can your business property. And while you may not be planning on selling your space any time soon, higher market value equates with better curb appeal and higher paying clients. So if you are looking for a way to stand out as a premium service provider in your industry, commercial landscaping may be one piece of the puzzle that’s missing. Improve Safety Keeping your storefront or campus well-lit and free of excessive plant growth will deter crime while making customers and employees feel safer too. Dark places crowded with shrubs invite criminal activity. So get a professional commercial landscaper to keep your place of business clean and safe. Boost Employee Morale Nobody wants to wake up everyday to drive to an unkempt business. On the contrary, employees who work for a well-maintained company with beautiful landscaping will look forward to their job. When lunch breaks can be set amidst fresh cut grass, trimmed trees, and colorful flowers, employee morale will increase overall (and thus, employee productivity).

I like how you said that having a well maintained landscape will help boost employee moral by helping them look forward to coming into work. We've been discussing ways that we can improve employee moral and increase the level of commitment that people have to their jobs here. Putting some resources into the buildings exterior and landscaping seems like a great way to help employees feel better about work. 7/29/2019 10:04:47 pm

It's interesting that you said that taking care of your lawn show costumers that you're more likely to take care of their needs properly. It might sound like a joke but it true, someone told me that appearance means everything. Thank you for pointing out the importance of keeping your lawn maintained. I liked that you said that one reason to consider hiring a professional to landscape your business for you is that this is the first thing that potential customers will see when they come to your location. I have been thinking about starting my own business but I have been worried that the building wouldn't look inviting or intriguing. I will be sure to have proper landscaping performed around my business in order to make it look more attractive. 3/6/2020 09:01:54 am
