FloraTerra's landscape enhancement design team focuses on creating sustainable landscapes. By choosing compatible low water use plant alternatives, older lawn or ground cover areas are converted to beautiful seasonally flowering drought tolerant, insect and disease resistant shrubs, trees, and ornamental grasses.
With The Bay Area drought track record, many of today's landscapes are being designed for beauty, energy efficiency and colorful in appearance. Our HOA Landscaping Service is engineered to lower maintenance costs, conserve resources, and reduce the heat island effect on properties.
Each year, property owners spend literally thousands of dollars on the installation of colorful annual flowers to improve their appearance throughout the growing season.

Commercial landscape maintenance comapny for your homeowners associations or commercial property does more than just preserve property value by increasing curb appeal; a beautiful landscape also sets a positive first impression for residents and visitors. Bay Area-area HOAs and Commercial Property owners can successfully hire a professional landscaping service by following a couple of steps:
The drought has had a damaging effect on many lawns throughout the bay area and permanently damaged many lawns . More often than not, even after a drought with a record breaking rainfall, water regulations may still go into effect. So a commercial lawn maintenance service should spend time and focus on good maintenance practices which might include: lawn aeration, seeding, fertilization, combined with best water management practices, will all help mitigate the damage.
Areas that do not respond to watering and fertilizer may require a partial lawn renovation by a commercial landscape maintenance contractor which might include: seeding, sodding. In drastic cases, a complete turf replacement or renovation might be necessary.
Your Commercial Lawn Maintenance Budget
The budgeting process, whether during the initial development phase or during on-going operations, should start early enough to collect all the necessary information.
Preparation of your initial landscape operating budget should be done carefully, as should preparation of all annual budgets. Realistic income and expense expectations should be used to prepare the operating budget.
