For most commercial properties, the goal is to draw in customers, clients, or tenants. The outside, or curb appeal, is what catches someone’s eye before they consider entering a building. If the exterior of your commercial property leaves little to be desired, it’s time to look at some ways to improve curb appeal for your commercial property. Let’s look at what those are.
What Do Others See?
For starters, walk toward or drive by your building and pay attention to the areas that you notice. Is there a great spot that catches the eye or an area that’s unsightly, leaving you hoping no one notices? Enhance those eye-catching spots and get to work on the areas that are easily seen but not looking well.
The Long Term
Choose plants and any ornamental decorations that are designed to last. A professional landscaper helps in determining which plants will bloom when, ensuring that the greenery is always fresh and appealing. Choose perennials rather than annuals so you aren’t replanting every year. Consider the long-term aspect of everything you choose, so you’ll have an incredibly beautiful commercial property after a few years of thoughtful planning.
Remove Excess Water
Excess surface water that isn’t properly drained leads to damaged landscaping, eroded soil, bug infestations, and even a cracked foundation. If you notice standing water or damage from excess water, it’s time to consider a drainage system to control the water issue on your property. There are a few ways to do this, including trench drains, French drains, and grading.
Consider People
Don’t just improve curb appeal, but also consider what others might enjoy having on the outside of your commercial property. Do employees need a place to eat lunch outside or enjoy a quick break with fresh air? Consider employees as well as clients and customers and make the exterior a pleasant place for everyone.
Use these tips for improving curb appeal for your commercial property as a guide when it’s time to make the exterior as inviting as the interior. Your employees and customers will appreciate it, and you’ll enjoy the new atmosphere as well.
