Have you ever walked up to a business and been amazed at its landscaping? Does it give you a sense of professionalism and make you want to shop there? Potential customers are always gauging businesses based on first impressions. Customers pay attention to cleanliness or customer service. They also notice when a business takes care of their landscaping. Good landscaping is a good identifier that a business is doing well and open for business. Do you own a business? Consider taking good care of your landscaping. It can bring you new business and give your business the upper hand when compared to the competition. Here, POPS Landscaping discusses why keeping up your property is important and what you can do to improve your business landscaping.
Boost Your Curb Appeal
When it comes to landscaping design, it is best to show off your property and point out the attractive attributes of your surroundings. Professional landscaping can boost your curb appeal. By doing this, business owners improve their property value while also making their business interesting for consumers to check out.
If your business is in a wide-open area, the experienced staff at POPS Landscaping may choose to install pathways, lights or even clusters of shrubs and flowers. This can help with the flow of your property and direct people to the entrance of the business. On the other hand, if your business is near a body of water, our landscapers may choose to surround the area near your creek with water-loving flowers and trees that thrive in wet conditions and create a cool, shady spot where visitors can enjoy lake or river. This kind of curb appeal can attract customers to your business and boost your sales.
Proper Landscaping Shows Professionalism
First impressions can make or break your business. Good landscaping shows that your business is well-maintained and professional. By having your commercial property maintained by the professionals at POPS, you can instill confidence in your business practices and the quality of your services or products to potential customers.
Improve Employee Work Conditions
Employees want to work for businesses that are professional and look good from the outside. As a business owner, you can recruit and maintain good employees by taking care of your building and investing in your business. Here are a few things to improve the workplace and give your employees an enjoyable place to work:
- Create an outdoor space where employees can spend time on lunch break or even work outside.
- Landscaping can also instill a sense of pride in your employees, which can affect employee retention.
- Landscaping can affect mood and disposition. A beautiful landscape outside to look at can help employees feel good throughout the day.
How to Improve Your Commercial Landscaping
There are many things you can do to improve your commercial landscaping. Here are a few things POPS Landscaping recommends:
Know What You Want
Before hiring POPS Landscaping, come up with a good idea of what it is you want. Ask yourself some simple and easy questions. Do you want to install pathways, trees or lighting? Should your space be visible at night or only during the day? As a business owner, you may have other managers to discuss these questions with. Decide what your goals are before you call us so we can put together the best plan for you and your business.
Hire a Professional
Finding a reliable landscaping company can be difficult. It takes time to vet the right one, but it’s worth it. Take the time to find the right company, especially if you’re planning to invest in a landscape that will last years and improve the value of your business. Here are a few tips when picking a commercial landscaping company:
- Talk to multiple companies. Meeting with a few companies can help with the decision because you can figure out what is a fair price for the services.
- Check references. Check online references and reviews for any landscaping contractor before signing a contract.
- Read the contract. Read the contract thoroughly and ask questions that you have about the details of the contract.
- Bring a list of questions. The more prepared you are for that initial consultation, the more productive your conversation will be.
Factor In Maintenance Costs
All landscaping requires maintenance. Know in advance your budget for the maintenance of your property. This is something the contractor will need to know during the initial consultation. It can affect the ultimate landscaping design and costs. If you’re planning to maintain the landscaping on your own, consult with your staff to find out how much time your staff has to dedicate to the maintenance of your property. The more you know before the consultation, the better.
