No one wants to pull into the parking lot at their typical office job and see a barren or rugged-looking landscape. Some of the most successful companies in the world understand that it isn't just important to have a great internal work atmosphere, but also an aesthetically pleasing building exterior in order to keep clientele and employees happy and improve company image.
Commercial Landscaping Plans:
Focus on the facade of the building. Welcome both employees and clients with a stunning and sophisticated entrance to the company. It is important not to go completely overboard here, so be sure to include a few lush, overgrown green filler plants that will serve as a guide to the front door.
Adding a pop of color makes one memorable. After designing a facade, consult your professional landscaper and figure out what types of colorful, yet affordable, flowers to place around the building.
For a lower cost, opt for perennial local species. The colorful plants work well in areas where a bench might be placed for employees.
Having a few benches strategically placed around the company grounds is a great way to get your employees outside for some fresh air -- and as an added bonus they will enjoy the perfectly laid out commercial landscaping design. Let the outdoor furniture mimic or complement the building's interior furniture. There are plenty of options from sleek and modern to antique and rustic.
Save room for growing and maturing plants. The building may be new and everything fits just right indoors, but know that plants need room to grow! Professional landscapers will know to properly space out trees and large shrubs, yet always ask for a finished layout before giving the go-ahead to start the project. Some species of plants or trees are very thick and may obstruct the view of entrances, so be careful where and what you plant.
Thinking about adding some sustainability to the company's list of ideas will end up decreasing overall costs in the long run. As mentioned, look for local species of trees and plants. Other options include installing irrigation channels in order to funnel rainwater to areas that need it most. Here in the Valley of the Sun, the trend now is to use gravel and weather-resistant plants such as cacti.
Be patient plants take time to grow and the landscaping process will be a long one. The job may consist of sod laying, mowing, trimming, planting, watering, fertilizing, a sprinkler system, or the installation of retaining walls.

Our daytime highs are heading for the mid seventies and higher that means our plants will be waking up soon. And it will time to start working on your commercial properties greenscapes.
To save money in 2017 you may want to consider Moisture Sensors.
The perfect landscaping isn't just about the great outdoors and the natural beauty of plants. There is a whole lot of hard work and precision that goes into the perfectly planted places. and some of that perfection comes with having the right technology on your side.
You know the importance of an irrigation system, might be one of the most important parts to your landscaping technology, but there is Tech support that will make your irrigation state of the art.
Soil Moisture Sensors
Simple to use, yet highly sophisticated in what it does for water savings, the Soil Moisture Sensor represents a new class of smart control technology. This affordable device precisely monitors moisture levels in absolute – rather than relative – terms. shop around, some devices are affected by soil temperature or electrical conductivity that limit the accuracy of the sensors.
Relaying that information back to the controller, it only allows a watering cycle when the root zone moisture drops below the set threshold. Based on the same TDT* sensing technology developed for agricultural applications, the soil moisture sensor’s long-lasting dependability addresses the environmental demands of both residential and commercial applications.
Water Savings Of 40% Or More
By optimizing the amount of moisture at the root zone, a moisture sensor conserves enough water in many applications to pay for itself in less than a year. Avoiding the tendency to overwater, you will enjoy a healthier, lush landscape that is less prone to fungus and shallow root growth.
The device eliminates needless watering and lets the soil say when watering is appropriate. Adding a soil moisture sensor allows you to meet many rigid water conservation guidelines that call for “smart” watering devices.
Advanced Soil Moisture Sensing Technology
Checking soil conditions as often as every 10 minutes, these devices can display not only moisture content, but also electrical conductivity and temperature of the soil, all at the touch of a button. Some device also provides watering history for the last 7 irrigation cycles.
With soil moisture sensing, you no longer need to be concerned with adjusting the controller. Just program the controller one time to water every day that irrigation is allowed – the soil moisture sensor will do the rest.

Some times Junk is not another man’s treasure, it is just plain-old, ordinary, everyday junk.
Webster’s Dictionary tells us that the noun junk is;
1. any old or discarded material, as metal, paper, or rags.
2. anything that is regarded as worthless, meaningless, or contemptible; trash.
3. old cable or cordage used when untwisted for making gaskets, swabs, oakum, etc.
We aren’t sure how it happens. Slowly but surely “junk” just seems to accumulate. One theory is that “junk” results from the missing socks from wash machines all over and must somehow turn into the junk that accumulates in nooks and crannies everywhere. I’m not sure that there is a sound scientific theory to support that but it does brighten my day.
At Greens Keeper Landscape Maintenance we are ready to haul away all the blight that is cluttering your property.

Torres del Paine National Park (Spanish: Parque Nacional Torres del Paine) is a national park encompassing mountains, glaciers, lakes, and rivers in southern Chilean Patagonia. The Cordillera del Paine is the centerpiece of the park. It lies in a transition area between the Magellanic subpolar forests and the Patagonian Steppes. The park is located 0 miles north of Puerto Natales and 194 mi north of Punta Arenas. The park borders Bernardo O'Higgins National Park to the west and the Los Glaciares National Park to the north in Argentine territory. Paine means "blue" in the native Tehuelche (Aonikenk) language and is pronounced PIE-nay.
Torres del Paine National Park is part of the Sistema Nacional de Áreas Silvestres Protegidas del Estado de Chile (National System of Protected Forested Areas of Chile). In 2003, it measured approximately 242,242 hectares. It is one of the largest and most visited parks in Chile. The park averages around 150,000 visitors a year, of which 60% are foreign tourists, who come from all over the world.
The park is one of the 11 protected areas of the Magallanes Region and Chilean Antarctica (together with four national parks, three national reserves, and three national monuments). Together, the protected forested areas comprise about 51% of the land of the region (6,728,744 hectares).
The Torres del Paine are the distinctive three granite peaks of the Paine mountain range or Paine Massif. They extend up to 7,800 feet above sea level, and are joined by the Cuernos del Paine. The area also boasts valleys, rivers such as the Paine, lakes, and glaciers. The well-known lakes include Grey, Pehoé, Nordenskiöld, and Sarmiento. The glaciers, including Grey, Pingo and Tyndall, belong to the Southern Patagonia Ice Field.
Lady Florence Dixie, in her book published in 1880, gave one of the first descriptions of the area and referred to the three towers as Cleopatra's Needles. She and her party are sometimes credited as being the first "foreign tourists" to visit the area that is now called Torres del Paine National Park.
Several European scientists and explorers visited the area in the following decades, including Otto Nordenskiöld, Carl Skottsberg, and Alberto María de Agostini. Gunther Plüschow was the first person to fly over the Paine massif.
The park was established in 1959 as Parque Nacional de Turismo Lago Grey (Grey Lake National Tourism Park) and was given its present name in 1970.
In 1976, British mountaineer John Gardner and two Torres del Paine rangers, Pepe Alarcon, and Oscar Guineo pioneered the Circuit trail which circles the Paine massif.
In 1977, Guido Monzino donated 130,000 acres to the Chilean Government when its definitive limits were established. The park was designated a World Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1978.

Asafoetida /æsəˈfɛtᵻdə/ is the dried latex (gum oleoresin) exuded from the rhizome or tap root of several species of Ferula, a perennial herb that grows 3.3 to 4.9 ft tall. The species is native to the deserts of Iran and mountains of Afghanistan and is mainly cultivated in nearby India. As its name suggests, asafoetida has a fetid smell, but in cooked dishes, it delivers a smooth flavour reminiscent of leeks.
It is also known as devil's dung, asant, food of the gods, jowani badian, stinking gum, hing, hengu, ingu, kayam, and ting. The plant is in the same genus as the now extinct silphium.
This spice is used as a digestive aid, in food as a condiment, and in pickling. It typically works as a flavour enhancer and, used along with turmeric, is a standard component of Indian cuisine, particularly in lentil curries such as dal, as well as in numerous vegetable dishes. It is sometimes used to harmonize sweet, sour, salty, and spicy components in food. Asafoetida, onion, and garlic are forbidden in yogic texts, and places them alongside meat and alcohol in terms of producing tamas or lethargy. The spice is added to the food at the time of tempering. Sometimes dried and ground asafoetida (in very mild quantity) can be mixed with salt and eaten with raw salad.
In its pure form, its odour is so strong, the pungent smell will contaminate other spices stored nearby if it is not stored in an airtight container; many commercial preparations of asafoetida use the resin ground up and mixed with a larger volume of wheat flour.[citation needed] The mixture is sold in sealed plastic containers. However, its odour and flavour become much milder and much less pungent upon heating in oil or ghee. Sometimes, it is fried along with sautéed onion and garlic.
Asafoetida is considered a digestive in that it reduces flatulence. It is, however, one of the pungent vegetables generally avoided by Buddhist .
