Perhaps one reason you devote so much time and energy to landscaping is to improve your property's appearance and value. Hospitality and retail managers and property management professionals must know how to make the most of their commercial landscape budgets. Monarch Landscape Companies offers four tips to help maximize every penny you invest in your exterior spaces.
Do you know where your commercial landscaping lacks? To get your outside space where you want it to go, you must understand what's holding it back. For instance, could you have problems with irrigation? A convenient remedy, like mulch, could be more beneficial than a long-term or more-expensive solution. Just as our technicians can help you create a fertilization and feeding schedule for your landscape, they can also help you pinpoint problem areas.
Your landscape's strengths bolster your efforts to make it look great, which helps you save time and money. Think about what you like most about your current landscape design, your entry and focal points, the colors blossoming through your landscape and the number of shade trees scattered around your property.
While mulling over your exterior space's strengths, consider how you'd like it to look. Setting your budget aside for a moment, what dream projects would you love to take on with your landscape? How could you save more water and implement a sustainable water irrigation system? Are there local programs or resources that support eco-friendly property owners?
No matter if you're budgeting for yourself or clients or customers, make yourself aware of potential hurdles. It's always preferable to get proactive about landscaping, and that includes your landscape budget. Going back to weaknesses, does your property have any hurdles, such as disease, weeds or insects? You may not consider turf growth a threat or challenge, but it can be if left unchecked and unmanaged. Depending on the commercial property, future growth may equal more foot traffic or cars, which may affect how your landscape looks.
