Make a Bigger Impact with Healthy, Beautiful Landscaping

Did you know that the health of commercial landscaping has a substantial impact on its maintenance costs? The more resilient, sustainable, and verdant your green spaces can be, the greater return on investment you can expect from them! So where can you begin?

From bioretention strategies to rethinking commercial lawn maintenance, we've got a collection of great tips for you here today—ideal for informing your next landscape design or outdoor overhaul.

Designing and Planning for Healthy Landscapes

Giving a beautiful commercial landscape design a great foundation begins with anticipating future needs and challenges. For example, here at FloraTerra, we've seen growing recent demand for our Bay Area bioretention landscaping service following the stormwater impacts of the current El Niño weather pattern.

However, in recent years, our drought tolerant landscaping solutions have also been popular in response to the extended drought periods that have increasingly hit commercial landscaping in San Jose, Santa Clara, and beyond.

We're always excited to support clients facing these kinds of challenges, but it is also possible to design and plan for these climactic highs and lows at the inception stage of a landscape design. Indeed, a seasoned commercial and HOA landscape designer can assess a property's unique microclimates and identify specific types of plants, shrubs, trees, and features that are most likely to both thrive and serve in each location.

This can be combined with water-saving smart irrigation technology, stormwater damage-mitigating bioretention areas, and xeriscaping practices such as mulching to further support water management while reducing commercial landscape maintenance costs.

Introducing Vibrant Color to Commercial Landscaping

Nothing adds more glamor and pizzazz to HOA and commercial property fronting than the colorscape that only nature can provide. That's why our commercial landscape design team considers not only climate-suitable plant species but also those that will grab attention with colorful blossoms and foliage.

To give your property a healthful lift, we can combine eye-catching perennial trees and shrubs with annual flowers to provide an extended color show right up until the first frost. This can be prioritized in high-value areas such as the curb-side, entryways, and high-traffic zones. Because we have such a broad range of colors and plant species at our disposal perfect for varying conditions, we can bring your preferred color scheme to life virtually anywhere.

Rethinking Costly Commercial Lawn Maintenance

In terms of both upkeep and water needs, commercial lawn maintenance can represent a hefty proportion of the budget for many HOAs and commercial property locations. This is because turf grass needs around three times as much water as mulched, mixed-plant landscaping. When we add the costs of mowing and fertilizing traditional grass areas to this equation, you can see why we're a landscape maintenance company on a mission to reinvent the lawn.

We encourage our clients to consider lawn alternatives, such as xeriscaped zones and ground cover planting, while switching out classic turf varieties for more robust native types in areas where lawn is essential. Better yet, we are also happy to advise on how to get the most out of lawn replacement rebates in your area and provide practical solutions for managing the impact of foot traffic on your commercial landscaping.

Planning for the Long Term

A highly skilled commercial landscape company will be able to not only guide you on initial design strategies for healthier landscaping, but also on how to keep your property at its best for years to come. This will include anticipating how your commercial landscape will grow and evolve, so that replacements needed when plants reach the end of their natural lifespan and infrastructure upgrade costs never come as a surprise.

Every facet of long-term commercial landscape care should be focused on efficiency and results, from effective maintenance of irrigation systems to timely seasonal pruning. In this way, your go-to commercial landscape contractor will be able to support your budgetary goals while maintaining a vibrant and welcoming outdoor presentation that showcases your property at its absolute best.
