How Great Landscaping Helps Your Business

Picture of commercial landscaping and hardscapes outside of large offices.
​If you are a business owner or property manager, high-quality landscaping may not be at the forefront of your mind. After all, financial concerns, managing client relations, building a strong team of employees, and other more traditional business considerations likely already occupy much of the time you spend on operational planning.

However, high-quality commercial landscaping should not be overlooked, as it can provide a wealth of benefits to your business. In fact, in many respects, effective landscaping is as important for commercial properties as it is for residential properties.

Learn about the vital ways in which premium landscaping can help your business thrive.

Improve Curb Appeal
When people think of curb appeal landscaping, they are often more likely to think of private homes than business environments. In fact, many people associate offices with drab or nonexistent landscaping, which may often feel forgettable.

As it turns out, though, if actively pursued, curb appeal can be truly vital for a business environment. A well-manicured exterior for your office or other commercial building helps make your business more aesthetically attractive, which can have a positive effect on both clients and employees. Your business will seem more notable and more professional in appearance — tidy, well-cared for, and reliable in its presentation.

Boost Property Values
Quality landscaping is also vital to your business's economic fortunes, as it has been shown to boost property values. It generally does this in two ways — one direct, and one more indirect.

Trees, shrubs, and other well-care for foliage can themselves increase the value of a given property, whether residential or commercial. A healthy environment is always a big draw when considering the value of a given property.

Beyond this, attractive landscaping on commercial properties is uniquely helpful in pulling in more clients, helping to boost business in other ways.

Help the Surrounding Environment
Trees, shrubs, and other plants around your business also have important effects that are not purely aesthetic; they provide tangible environmental benefits to your physical location. Healthy plants can help make soil healthier and more resilient. This can, in turn, lead to more landscaping opportunities: the ability to plant new shrubs and flowers, as well as to attract beneficial, pollinating insects.

A healthy ecological backdrop to your business can also be particularly helpful in another way: It can increase your commercial property's resilience in heavy rains and severe storms, which are hardly uncommon in southern Louisiana. From Baton Rouge to New Orleans to the bayous, severe storm damage is often disturbingly widespread. Fortunately, trees and other plantings can help absorb excess water, preventing erosion and even mitigating flooding. 

Improve Employee Health and Morale
A tangential and related ecological benefit of effective landscaping is its effects on the health and well-being of your employees. High-quality commercial landscaping can help to make the air around your workplace more oxygen-rich, creating a generally healthier local atmosphere. Plus, having plants and green space around the office can boost employees' health and morale. Finally, trees and other plantings also lower the temperature of the surrounding air and provide shade, helping to keep your workplace cooler and potentially even reducing air-conditioning costs.

Be Unique
In a crowded business environment, and especially in one so often defined by hasty searches on the internet, it can be a challenge to stand out as a brand. Curb appeal landscaping can help with this, by making your business visually stick out, and ultimately be more memorable for current and prospective clients. Overall, a memorable business location with high-quality, attractive foliage surrounding it is more likely to retain customers, draw in new ones, and ultimately contribute to creating a strong brand identity.

Provide Outdoor Space
Commercial landscaping can also be highly functional, providing various pragmatic possibilities on site. For instance, your landscaping efforts can work to maintain a lawn, patio, porch, or other space around your business property. This area can serve as a needed respite for employees where they can take a break, have lunch, or simply get some fresh air.

It can also come in handy for dealing with clients. Meeting in an outdoor space can be appealing, particularly on a nice spring or fall day in southern Louisiana. A well-maintained meeting spot can help clients feel more welcome at your business and contribute to making a strong first impression that will encourage them to reliably return.

Keep Growth Under Control
In the hot and humid summers of southern Louisiana, you are probably used to seeing how plants can grow quickly and wildly. Without maintenance, you might find yourself rapidly overrun. Whatever types of native or nonnative plants that you are trying to manage on your business property, it does not take too long for a physical space to become unkempt.

Aside from the appearance of untidiness, over-growth can sometimes present genuine physical hazards for employees and for visiting clients. Quality landscaping for commercial properties can help keep to keep such growth in check, ensuring the landscape stays clean and easy to navigate.

Provide Privacy
Finally, landscaping can also be a functional and aesthetically attractive way to provide privacy to your office or place of business. Depending on your location, you may be quite visible from the road or from neighboring businesses or homes. Work can often be sensitive, and the sensation of being too visible to passersby or others can certainly be disconcerting for employees and clients.

Various types of landscaping efforts, from a "living fence" to other combinations of plantings, can provide an effective buffer for your operations. Such an investment helps to ensure that you, your employees, and any visiting clients feel secure and protected in the privacy of your workplace.

Hire a Commercial Landscaper Today
Given the tangible boosts it can provide to your business at a relatively low level of investment, there is no good reason to avoid devoting the necessary attention to proper commercial landscaping. That said, managing your business takes time, possibly leaving you little left over to maintain a complex array of trees and shrubs. Besides, proper care for trees and other plants takes attention, as well as a unique set of specialized skills.

I loved how you said that having plants around my business provides environmental benefits! For the past couple of weeks, I have noticed how the landscape around my office building looks boring, so I was wondering if hiring a professional to fix it up would be a good idea. I appreciate you helping me learn more about the advantages of landscaping for my company. I'll have to look into hiring a professional landscaping company!
