L andscapes are an impor-
tant and invaluable ele-
ment of any commercial
property. The landscape provides
the first overall impression for
patrons as they’re welcomed to
your facility
and the last
impre s s i on
those patrons
see as they
drive away.
Paying close
attention to
the care and
maintenance
of your land-
scaping will
draw custom-
ers in rather
than drive
them to your
c o m p e t i -
tion. In addition, landscapes can
increase the value of your prop-
erty and the likelihood of retain-
ing and attracting valued tenants.
