The entryway to your commercial property is your first opportunity to greet your customers, visitors, tenants and employees.  That’s why it’s so important to ensure that the landscape around it is top-notch in every way – from the overall design and plants to the built features & how it draws the visitor in.  As a commercial property owner or manager responsible for the landscape, you should always start with the arrival experience and the main point of entry.

• FIRST IMPRESSIONS MATTER:

  First impressions apply just as much to your landscape as it does to people.  In fact, your landscape is often the first thing a visitor sees, even before they interact with employees.  Worn areas, dead or dying plants, lack of color and ho-hum appearance speaks volumes about your company’s professionalism and how much it cares about the people who come to your property every day.  Not to mention how much interest the company has for our environment.  Spend a little more money on your entry way to make that difference in that first impression.

• HIGH TRAFFIC MEANS HIGH IMPORTANCE: 

  Your main entryway is the focal point of public interaction.  with tenants and visitors coming and going it gets heavy use and even abuse.  To ensure that landscape maintenance doesn’t drain your resources, design your entryway with plants and materials that can stand up to environmental elements such as foot traffic and harsh weather conditions.  It’s important to design and install landscape that resists wear and tear and remain beautiful and functional.

• A DYNAMIC ENTRYWAY FOR A DYNAMIC BUSINESS:

  If your facility is open year round you want your entryway to be just as attractive and interesting in the winter months as it is at the height of the growing season in the summer.  A static landscape equals a static business.  Create dynamic season connection with something fresh and interesting throughout the year.
