For commercial or industrial property owners, maintaining a well-landscaped green area around the business, facility or venue is a critical part of marketing and branding. Working with commercial landscaping services to maintain the area provides a simple solution to keep the area around the business looking in top condition throughout the year.
Understanding commercial landscaping costs should not be difficult or confusing. A top landscaping service will sit down with the property owner and manager and provide a breakdown of the cost involved in the different services as well as why specific services are requested.
There are several factors to be considered when the landscaping service develops an estimate of commercial landscaping costs. Each estimate will be unique to the specific property and will depend on the following essential issues.
Size of the Property
The size of the property is an obvious factor in any type of costing for commercial landscaping services. However, it is not just the size, but also the requirements of the landscaping which are considered. Large open spaces with the requirement for mowing and fertilizing will be less costly to maintain than the same size of space with additional annual and perennial flower beds, shrubs, and trees.
Requested and Recommended Services
Typically, the property owner and manager will have specific services they require. This is often based on the services of past landscaping contractors. The current commercial landscaper may also make additional recommendations. It will be up to the property owner and manager to determine which of these additional services to add. Often, additional services are not cost-prohibitive and may actually assist in bringing down long-term maintenance costs with increased plant and tree retention and healthier, hardier lawns.
The landscaping service will be able to detail the commercial landscaping costs for the service they are recommending. They will also be able to work with the company to keep their services within the agreed upon budget.
