Commercial properties need to maintain a certain level of aesthetic to achieve an appearance of professionalism and approachability. The curb appeal of your landscaping demonstrates that you care about maintaining a high standard, and that is part of what builds trust among customers and business partners. On the other hand, the water demands of your landscaping may be concerning to you, especially during times of drought conditions. Converting turf to plant arrangements that require minimal watering, also known as xeriscaping, could be the answer you need.
If your property has a lot of turf, it could be unnecessarily increasing your maintenance costs due to water consumption. Turf reduction could substantially reduce your utility costs, leading to a significant savings in your budget.
Is your goal to reduce your company’s footprint because of altruism, or simply to adapt to current trends for the long-term prosperity of your business? Either way, xeriscaping is a discernible way to signal to your target market that your establishment is committed to preservation and sustainability.
Whether environmental sustainability is on your list of priorities or not, reducing turf and implementing a drought landscape plan is a great way to prepare for future problems. In times of drought and mandatory water-usage reductions, xeriscaping could help your property maintain its aesthetics while grass would be shriveling up and turning brown.
If your business is based in a dry, hot area, where evaporation rates are high and drought is common, maintaining grass may not even make sense. Moreover, along parts of the property where no one will be sitting or playing, such as islands and strips throughout parking lots or steep slopes, grass may not enhance your property’s functionality enough to justify its presence.
