Enhancing the visual appeal of commercial, retail, and industrial properties is not just about aesthetics—it's a strategic investment to attract more tenants and foot traffic. One way to maximize ROI is to plant trees that create a vibrant and sustainable environment for your customers. But planting must be done with thoughtful planning. Improper tree planting on your commercial property will cost you. What could go wrong? Plenty.  

  • Large roots can ruin the building, parking lot, underground pipes, or sidewalk  

  • Overcrowding leads to diseases, insect damage, and thirst  

  • Falling limbs could drop on vehicles and pedestrians  

  • Block lines of sight for cars and security cameras  

  • You’ll have to pay a specialist to remove the trees 

When it comes to planting trees on your property, a thoughtful approach is essential to maximize long-term benefits. In this blog post, we'll delve into key tips tailored for property managers, ensuring that tree planting not only beautifies the surroundings but also serves as a valuable asset for your commercial, retail, or industrial space. 

  1. Partner with Accredited Commercial Landscape Experts: Collaborating with licensed commercial landscape companies is a savvy move for property managers. These professionals bring a wealth of expertise, ensuring that the trees planted on your property align with industry standards, enhancing the overall appeal of the commercial space. 

  2. Leverage ISA Certified Arborists for Informed Decisions: Having an International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) Certified Arborist within the landscape team is an invaluable asset for property managers. Certified professionals understand the unique needs of trees in commercial settings, offering informed guidance to promote the health and longevity of the greenery on your property. 

  3. Optimize Landscapes with Drought-Tolerant Plant Choices: Value engineering your landscape involves making smart choices that benefit both your budget and the environment. Opting for drought-tolerant plants not only reduces water consumption but also ensures resilient, low-maintenance greenery that enhances the appeal of your property. 

  4. Invest in Intelligent Irrigation Systems with Weather Sensors: Efficient irrigation is paramount for the success of your tree-planting project. Property managers can benefit from installing advanced irrigation systems equipped with weather-detection sensors. This ensures that your trees receive optimal watering based on real-time environmental conditions, promoting water conservation and minimizing maintenance costs. 

  5. Schedule Regular Tree Maintenance for Optimal Property Health: Ongoing care is essential for sustaining the beauty and safety of your property. Property managers should prioritize regular tree-trimming sessions to preserve the aesthetic appeal of the landscape, remove potential hazards, and contribute to the overall well-being of the commercial, retail, or industrial space. 

Strategic tree planting goes beyond mere landscaping for commercial, retail, and industrial properties—it's an investment in creating attractive, sustainable spaces. By implementing these tailored tips, property managers can ensure that the benefits of trees extend beyond aesthetics to encompass long-term value and appeal.
