Baton Rouge Commercial Landscape Maintenance: Keeping Your Business Fresh

First impressions are critical in business. While location, architecture, and technology are all vital factors for your business' physical structures, the lawn, landscaping, and green spaces that are a part of the property also play a significant role in your operation. 

Whether we are talking about a storefront, a warehouse, an office, or any other commercial property, landscaping and grounds maintenance should rank somewhere on your priority list. However, you have a business to run and other responsibilities than keeping the grass cut, the flower beds mulched, and the hedges trimmed. This is where trusting an expert, experienced commercial landscaping company can save you time and money, while adding a few advantages that you may not have considered. 

Enhanced Curb Appeal for Your Property

Curb appeal is essential for any business. If it's a customer's first time visiting, it offers an inviting environment; as they return to a fresh, green, healthy, bright atmosphere, they'll continue to come back. An unattended, uncared for landscape screams the opposite. Landscaping is essential to create not only visual appeal but to help set the mood and mindset depending on the type of business you have. Keeping your commercial property well maintained can pay dividends when clients or customers feel invited by nice clean landscape features as well as feeling more inclined to utilize that business' services or pay for the products offered due to a sense of balance from the outside looks with the inside aesthetics. 

Increase Safety with Landscape Maintenance

While the landscaping elements around your business have tremendous aesthetic opportunities, they can also improve the safety on and around your property. Unkempt trees, bushes, weeds, and grass are not only unsightly; they also provide diminished visibility and ample hiding areas for those with ill-intent. Also, keeping trees trimmed can help keep your employees, customers, and visitors safe by increasing the line of sight in pedestrian areas as well as safety from vehicles in high traffic areas. When a storm comes through, as they tend to do in south Louisiana quite frequently, improperly cared for trees can lose branches and limbs, adding to safety issues for pedestrian traffic as well as added maintenance for grounds crews or property managers. 

Improve Productivity and Morale

Believe it or not, fresh flowers, lush lawns, and new landscaping can provide a lot more than curb appeal. Ample outdoor lighting, sitting areas, walking paths, and corresponding green spaces motivate employees by offering them a secluded escape and relaxing atmosphere. There are countless case studies that have proven the value of great landscaping designs and the uplifting and relaxed atmosphere they offer that help increase productivity and self-fulfillment by the employees of those business. Ask yourself, on a beautiful blue sky day with a temperature of 73 degrees, would you want to be stuck in an office illuminated by florescent light nonstop or would you like an area to utilize to stretch out, relax, gather your thoughts or even eat lunch or a quick snack? 

Commercial Property Value Growth 

Not only can an expertly manicured lawn and landscaped features help your business stand out, but it can also help to improve your property value, drive foot traffic, and increase revenue. Having the reputation of a well-run, well-maintained business can create benefits and results that go far beyond the product or service that you offer. You can increase your property's equity and add to your brand by maintaining the landscaping around your property. Just as cleaning the landscape of a house to be sold and mowing the grass right before a showing can often lead to a closing down the line, having potential buyers know they don’t need to invest money in the landscape once purchased can often sell the property before the prospective buy even steps foot inside!
