Undeniably, maintaining curb appeal can be more valuable than ever when recession strikes – but equally, budgets for the maintenance of exterior spaces are a logical place to turn when exploring creative cost cutting. Going back to basic commercial landscape maintenance for your green spaces can serve as an excellent starting point for realizing lower landscape costs.
In essence, lawns must be mowed, and weeds, trash and debris must be removed. ground cover care, edging, shrub pruning, and leaf removal must be included, while walkways must be clean and debris free. Irrigation watering systems must be programmed, monitored and managed strategically. From these simple foundations, lower landscaping costs can be fortified through further cost-reduction strategies – which we'll come back to in a moment.

Efficiency in the face of an unpredictable economy means prioritizing effort and investment that will reap the greatest reward.

This balance requires vision – as we steer clear of cutting corners, while creating recession-ready plasticity! At FloraTerra Landscape, we understand the importance of meeting your targets in performance, reliability, quality, and safety at the lowest possible price.
As a commercial landscape maintenance contractor, we strategically focus first on the areas that make the most sense. Placing emphasis on high impact areas, such as corporate insignia's, marketing corridors, property frontage, Hollywood zones, main building entrances, lobbies, corporate driveway entrances, patio court yards, and outdoor seating areas is key. We also draw on our diligently-earned knowledge of commercial landscape maintenance to frame these areas in sustainable and attractive ways. This approach helps us lower landscape costs in meaningful ways.
With a foundation of basic landscape care established, the next all-important step is discovering potential to enhance your green spaces towards their practical and aesthetic potential. Lowering commercial landscape maintenance costs can be realized through tactics such as eliminating high maintenance plants, and replacing them with plants that will require less maintenance – meaning labor cost savings for you! Commercial lawn care demands substantial irrigation, aeration, fertilizer, and to be mowed at an average rate of 42 to 45 times each year. Substituting lawns with combinations of drought resistant ground cover can provide striking visual contrast, substantial money savings, and a far more earth-friendly footprint!
Flora Terra Landscape Management takes great pride in developing water efficient landscapes, as a greener and more affordable solution geared specifically to our local bay area climate. Water conservation can be improved further through scheduled water audits, eliminating high cost water waste due to broken, malfunctioning or inefficient irrigation equipment. In fact, some local water agencies may come out to provide a free water audit for identifying areas of water waste. Using reclaimed water may be an excellent option for some properties, while the simple action of capping unnecessary irrigation, for example in vacant planters, can contribute yet further to water conservation.
For commercial building real estate owners, property managers and multi-family communities such as home owner associations, common interest properties, apartment communities and multi-use developments, implementing such approaches can make all the difference. These overhead savings for property owners – just like you – means far greater space to maneuver during any recession.
