Create an environment that people will remember
Landscaping in Alberta often brings about many mixed feelings: excitement for summer, pressure to make a plan, ongoing maintenance for a short period of time, etc. It is often overlooked how impactful good landscaping can be for your commercial space or business. It is the first thing people see when they enter your space and is a reflection of your business.
We’ve already highlighted what impressions landscaping can make on your business, now we’ll help you identify how you can start planning and what you need to look at for landscaping this summer.
Make a plan or find a trusted contractor to help you plan
Planning is one of the key pieces in getting started on landscaping. The planning process can be one of the most overwhelming stages of landscaping for your commercial space or business as the options can seem limitless. What environment are you trying to create? What statement are you making with your landscaping and does it align with your business? How many and which elements should you bring in? A great landscaper can help you take a look at the logistics, assist with those tough choices, ask the right questions and help in the creative process of what will look best for your property or what will best represent the environment you’re hoping to create.
Choose the right elements and foliage
Your property is a representation for your commercial space or business – what does your choice of landscaping elements say about your space? With a multitude of options available for landscaping, this stage of the process can seem daunting with what seems like endless options. Different plant species require different levels of maintenance and care and it is important that you don’t get overambitious when planning what foliage and elements you will use. Having an idea of your location and how the direction of your property will affect the light for plants you can choose and what conditions are present in your space are important factors to consider when planning. A landscaping contractor is knowledgeable about these factors and can help you make informed decisions. It will also help you with budgeting down the line, as these choices will be more deliberate and will cut down on future landscape maintenance when carefully planned.
Think ahead about maintenance
Are you prepared to maintain your landscaping throughout the summer or have someone already hired? Is the foliage you have chosen finicky and needs a higher level of maintenance? Have you chosen plants that can withstand the unpredictability of weather conditions (Drought, fires, heavy rain, etc.)? Thinking ahead about what maintenance could look like for your property and having backup plans if weather is not what we expect can help save time and money down the road. Even if your property only has a lawn, there are important factors to look at like lawn aeration and irrigation systems to help your lawn thrive regardless of conditions in the summer. Maintenance practices like pruning and lawn mowing are important to plan in advance as it not only keeps the appearance of your property looking well-kept, but will also reduce obstructions to your property.
