If you work in a busy city that always seems to be polluted and crowded, any place that you can see with some greenery will certainly be a sight for your sore eyes. And pretty sure, you will love going to and frequenting such areas. In such busy business areas or cities, there will always be at least 2 or more malls and commercial centers that have a sprawling garden or lawn, complete with well-manicured grasses, trees, shrubberies, colorful flowers and probably some kind of water feature that further helps you feel better, fresher and calmer.
As such, it would really be great if all building and commercial property owners in cities would think about having and maintaining a lawn or garden. They really do provide a certain kind of calming and peaceful feeling to anyone who sees or even stays in such gardens. And of course, the air would definitely be fresher and cleaner to breath in such places, as compared to the air outside, on the busy streets.
In addition to other people benefiting and appreciating the presence of a lawn or garden in a busy city, below are some advantages that the building or commercial property owners themselves can gain from having this natural feature:
1. The presence of healthy foliage can improve the surrounding environment around an office building or commercial center. Trees, grasses, flowers, bushes, vines and perennials can be intentionally planted and grown around a business space for different purposes. Such planted foliage can deflect wind, control or prevent erosion in this place, soften the reflection or glare produced by man-made materials. In addition, with the presence of these trees and other plant life, they can help lower the temperature so that air conditioning systems in certain areas can be turned down a bit or they won’t have to work as hard; thus, helping the owner and the tenants achieve lower monthly electric consumption.
2. Community appeal and business revenues are increased with the help of professional landscaping and lawn care maintenance. Business and property owners will see that people are more motivated to frequent or visit commercial spaces with tree-lined walks and well-landscaped grounds. Also, landscaped areas are usually less likely to be vandalized with graffiti and are seen as safe places for people to take leisurely strolls or regularly visit when they run errands or just simply loiter around during their free time.
3. Regular proper lawn care and landscape practices increases a property’s market value. Owners of commercial spaces can charge higher for their required rental fees if their grounds are always well-kept since they are always additional attractions that can draw more customers or clients.
