Fall Landscaping Projects

The fall is a great time to enhance a commercial property with some landscaping improvements. Here are a few ideas about projects to plan for this fall.

Add Some Shade

When you improve an open space, you want people to be able to spend some time outside comfortably enjoying that area. Planting shade trees in strategic locations is a fantastic way to make outdoor seating more inviting. Some good spots may include places where you can have a couple of  benches or outdoor tables and chairs. Shade trees that you place directly adjacent to buildings can help reduce heating and cooling costs significantly.

Apply Mulch

It is generally a good idea for property management companies and commercial real estate owners to prioritize projects that make landscaping easier to maintain while also boosting areas’ curb appeal. Covering an area with mulch is an excellent enhancement. Mulch can consist of things such as bark, compost, shredded leaves, and other clippings. It insulates soil, so plants in an area covered with mulch will require less watering.

Start a Xeriscape Project

Landscape enhancements that make it possible to use less water are both environmentally friendly and cost-efficient. Xeriscape involves the use of plants that need relatively little water to thrive. They can farewell over more than just one season.

Pick Perennials to Plant

A lot of plants grow or bloom for only one season of the year. In contrast, perennials can grow for more than just a quarter of the year. Picking landscaping features that grow for multiple seasons will require less frequent changes. They will keep your property looking attractive for a longer period of time than single season plant in options.
