Low-Maintenance Landscaping Ideas for Spring
The vernal equinox is just a month away, and spring will have sprung for real in many parts of the country. More northern areas may still be a couple or few weeks away. So, it’s a good time to think about ways to revitalize your commercial landscaping this season. With that in mind, here are some great low-maintenance landscaping ideas to consider incorporating on your property this season.
Ground Covering
Although it does require some level of maintenance, ground covering can be really beautiful and add a carpet type of effect wherever it is planted. Choose a type of ground covering in a color that coordinates well with the rest of your landscaping and that can thrive in your climate. Great choices might be honeysuckle and brass button.
Shrubs
Every property needs shrubs to add height, variety and interest – not to mention to replace plants that may not have survived the winter. Several types make great low-maintenance options for commercial landscapes. A couple that are especially suitable are juniper and hydrangea, which bloom with colorful clumps of ball-shaped flowers. In addition to planting, prune shrubs and bushes as necessary, at the appropriate time for that species in your climate.
Wildflowers
Flowers add pops of color and cheerfulness wherever they are displayed. They are not always in the low-maintenance category, but consider sprinkling some groupings of wildflowers on suitable spots throughout your commercial site.
Rocks and Stones
Rocks and stones are available in many colors other than neutral gray and beige. Depending on your facility design and style, you may want to find some that are in more unique hues like reds and blues. Place them in various configurations in strategic areas or mixed in with plants and flowers. Rocks and stones require nearly no maintenance, other than weeding.
Landscaping can make a commercial property especially attractive and inviting, so make sure to give plenty of time to the planning and planting. Also ensure that you use plants that can thrive in your climate, based on factors like temperature and amount of precipitation. Your employees and guests will enjoy the beauty of your commercial landscape as spring arrives and all summer long.
