Commercial Landscape Restoration

What Is Commercial Landscape Restoration?

Have you heard of the term “landscape restoration” before? It means different things to different people.

For example, “Forested landscape restoration” refers to the process of improving a degraded area’s ecological integrity. It involves reintroducing native plant species, improving local soil and water conditions, and rebuilding local ecosystems for improved biodiversity.

But that’s not what most business owners require.

Commercial landscapers view ”landscape restoration” as improving the appearance of existing greenery, grass, and outdoor hardscapes around a property. And the best landscapers know exactly how to achieve this goal in short order.

The Advantages of Calling in a Landscaper

Lawns, shrubbery, trees, and walkways can always be improved. Any restoration project begins with an assessment of the property to determine whether there are potential drainage issues, sick trees, or any other damage that needs to be addressed.

Landscapers will inspect the property and estimate the expected costs. Depending on your budget and the scope of the requested work, experienced landscapers can offer you a variety of options that will improve the area’s functionality.

Improving Sitelines

A big part of landscaping is removing the excess material you don’t need. That old cottonwood tree littering your property with sticky sheaths may be doing more harm than good. 

It’s amazing how much better a property looks once you eliminate the eyesore you didn’t know you had. In many instances, less is more, especially if your business is hidden behind too many organic distractions. Plentiful foliage around your property can be a nice feature, but not at the expense of customers not being able to find you. 

On the flip side, talented landscapers can also add features for additional privacy or shade.  

Landscapers are clean-up artists with a good eye and the necessary tools and materials for reconfiguring exterior areas. More importantly they understand how to make the most of your building’s target areas (front entrance, signage, walkways) and how to channel the eye toward more pleasing views with a pop of colour or other feature (be it organic or man made).  

Landscapers see outdoor features in layers and know how to strip away or add to a site for a  chosen effect. Ultimately, you want a cohesive looking space that is appealing from every angle that drives more traffic to your front door.  

Site Safety

Speaking of pedestrian flow, regular upkeep of the surrounding landscaping ensures your intended pathways are safe and free of overgrowth, moss, excess grime or anything else that could lead to unexpected tripping or slipping. It’s your responsibility to ensure that your shrubs and foliage do not interfere with people’s views while they are in their vehicles.  

Not all threats are necessarily directed at people. 

Landscapers don’t just assess the length of your lawn, they are on the lookout for potential risks to your property, too. You never know when a tree could break and fall during those heavy winds. However, a professional landscaper will know the visual clues to be on the lookout for, providing valuable preventative maintenance for added protection.

In addition, a property with too much shrubbery and poor placement can be an invitation for criminal activity, providing ample coverage for potential intruders lurking about. 

If you’re hiring a landscaper in the spring or summer, you may also wish to inquire about de-icing and snow removal services. It’s important to make sure your walkways and driveways are clear of hazardous conditions year round. 

Boosting Curb Appeal

Curb appeal isn’t just about selling your home. 

A nice looking exterior property with straightforward access puts customers and employees at ease. Relaxed individuals are happier and more content, which translates into better experiences and positive associations with your location. 

That means higher sales and a more contented staff on-site.

It’s no accident that so many shopping malls feature living walls full of lush foliage or why people will pay more for a hotel with a nice view overlooking a beach. People are hardwired to appreciate nature and are drawn to natural environments. 

Making sure your property is up to par often demands the services of a landscape restoration specialist.
