3 Ways Flowers Are Changing The Commercial Landscaping Environment

Written by Sabrina Ayala | Jun 6, 2016 3:30:00 PM

Flower pots in the landscape is a great idea for your landscape design. However, lack of proper planning can make them look awkward no matter how beautiful your plants may be. 

When incorporating flower pots in your landscaping a commercial landscape company should make sure they maintain the overall flow and balance. Use them to heighten interest and avoid a mish mash of shapes. Here are some basic guidelines to keep you on the right track. 

3 Steps For Beautiful Flowers

Understand the scale of your landscape design: A small pot in the middle of a large space or a couple of big ornamental flowerpots in a small space can mess with your landscape’s overall appeal. Think carefully about where you want to place the flower pots. Established landscape designers use the latest technology to help you visualize the final picture before you begin. 
  • 1.)  Pay attention to plant requirements: Vibrant flowerpots require a proper understanding of their requirements. Whether you’re planting flowers, ornamental trees, bonsai or cactus, each has specific needs. Some plants like to spread their roots while others prefer to be clustered together.  Some need full sunlight, many require partial shade. Follow the recommended growing conditions to achieve full bloom. 
  • 2.) Choose pots carefully: There are several points for a landscape maintenance company consider when selecting flower pots for the landscape. The material (concrete, terracotta, wood, plastic, etc.) and color should match or complement your hardscapes. It is also preferable to put ornate plants in a simple flower pot and vice-versa. Flowerpot material also impacts maintenance. Clay pots dry out faster, plastic requires less care. Choose accordingly. 
  • 3.) Flowerpots require proper maintenance: Although flowerpots offer convenience, (especially if you want to take them indoors when it’s cold) they still need regular maintenance. Proper watering, regular pruning and cleanup keep them bright and beautiful. 

A commercial landscape service should consider flower pots in the landscape, especially because they have become the focal point of attention these days. They also speak volumes of your design and maintenance skills. An experienced landscape maintenance service can take care of it for you.
