Though many may not realize it, much thought goes into designing a sustainable, low-maintenance commercial landscape design. Every space is unique, from sun exposure and soil conditions to traffic and business style. The following trends can work with almost any type of business and space.
Native Plants
Choosing Native plants is always a wise idea because these plants are already designed to live in your area. They’ll manage the temperatures and available water with ease because it’s what they already know. Your plants will need less maintenance and will grow stronger and prettier if you choose ones that are native to your area.
Incorporate Natural Elements and Hardscape
Natural elements like dry riverbeds, ponds, and gravel paths are distinctive ways to set your garden and your commercial space apart. Hardscaping with boulders and even benches creates an outdoor workspace. These sorts of spaces also provide employees with relaxing spaces to take a break or brainstorm ideas for a new project.
Pollinator Gardens
Pollinator Gardens offer a maintenance-free way to provide beauty for your clients and employees while also providing nourishment and support for the birds and honeybees in our area. These are a colorful way to liven up the boundary edges of your property or as a replacement for grass in an area that will be difficult to mow and maintain.
Evergreen Shrubs
Green shrubbery like boxwoods and arborvitae can help define a space or create a boundary. For some unique alternatives, also consider yucca, shrub roses and even dwarf Korean Lilacs.
