Commercial Landscapes With Dimensions

No one will argue the beauty of a well-kept gorgeous commercial property, they are invitingly cool and pleasing to the senses. However beautiful that flat peace of green is, it hesitates to stir curiosity and the imagination of the passerby. Simple modifications can be made to your landscape to provide a wonderland of beauty and color.

Trees, Flowers, and Pavers Oh My!

Different plants and textures can be all the change in dimension you need. Encircle your exquisitely manicured green with rock paths, trees, and flowering plants.  Rock paths and borders can be made of several different materials, from the uniformed look of brick to the allure of old time cobblestone, or even the more soft looking simplicity of gravel.  Trees add vertical appeal to a landscape and much needed shade in any desert environment, while flowers can add an eye catching bouquet of color.

Add Symmetry Or Height
Raise those different plants off the ground. Planters can be anything from low level box gardens, hanging pots,  colorful bowls on pedestals or even tiered planters that form a decorative design, like a butterfly. Balance and repetition can frame an entrance or add a formal flair to your landscape. Simple changes through the seasons, such as incorporating evergreen tips or garden art, can easily transition the display to a winter theme.

Water Attracts Your Senses
From large ponds full of Koi to tiny fountains of pots spilling over, water features can bring a person a feeling of peace and serenity. Visually you see the moving water and you are drawn to gaze closer. As you approach a water feature you are filled with the tranquil sounds of the waterfall and the wonderful aroma of flowers. When you have guests, guess where they’re inevitably going to gravitate and congregate? Moving water is mesmerizing and peaceful to look at. 

Light It Up
Just because your business attracts customers at night doesn't mean they don't notice your landscaping. You've pulled out all the stops to make your business and landscape look first-rate. So why let that hard work disappear at nightfall when, with a flick of a switch and some strategically placed landscape lights, you can roll back the darkness and put it all on display? 

Done right, landscape lighting makes the best of what you've got by highlighting your property's best features and drawing attention to prized plantings and trees. Most landscape lighting today is low voltage, and with good reason. Unlike 120-volt systems, it's safer to work with and less costly to install. And though low-voltage lights receive one-tenth the power, there's no limit to the effects they can achieve, from ethereal moonlight beamed down from a tree canopy to a subtle glow that washes over a low garden wall. More than just picking the right hardware, a pleasing lighting scheme is also about artistry. 

Underlit trees and accent lights aimed at the facade can create an inviting post-sunset atmosphere. Also try playful and festive lighting schemes with white string lights hung from walls or archways, small solar powered ground lights, or colorful decorative Chinese styled lanterns. 

It doesn’t matter to us whether you want lush lawns, desert landscaping or some type of commercial landscaping in between, we can help.  To find out how give us a call at 623-848-8277.
