If you’ve never considered a lawn maintenance schedule to be a life-changing thing, think about this; how frustrating is it when your neighbors neglect to mow their property for the first few weeks of spring? How do you feel when you look out the window and you see their scraggly front lawn dotted with bright yellow dandelions?
With that image in mind, consider how your commercial tenants and their customers would feel if they drove up to your building and saw the same thing? Chances are that an unkempt lawn could end up costing you clients, both current and future.
Still think your lawn maintenance schedule isn’t important? Here are some ways that the right grounds keeping plan could change your business for the better:
Make your tenants happy: When it comes to convincing a tenant to renew their lease, it’s all about the extra perks that you can offer over other property managers. Your renters are well aware that your building’s landscape is the first and last visual impression their clients and potential customers will have of their company. If one of your a nearby competitors is charging a lower price for the same amount of space but their building’s landscaping is a mess, you’re more likely to get a tenant to stick with you if you have a lawn maintenance schedule that makes your property (and their reputation) appear spotless.
Bring in new business: Empty space in your building equals wasted money, so attracting new tenants is always at the forefront of your mind. As a property manager, an appealing landscape is the perfect botanical business card; it says that you care about your renters and the businesses they run. Every office building needs regular lawn maintenance because, in contradiction to the common advice, people do often judge a book by its cover, and business buildings are no exception.
Save time and money: Time and money are two things that you can never have too much of as a property manager. You don’t have any extra energy to expend learning how often your bushes should be trimmed—and you shouldn’t have to. Working with a commercial landscape provider who can customize a lawn maintenance schedule to fit your property’s specific needs can save you untold amounts of time and money. The key is to find an organization of experienced landscaping professionals with a highly-personal approach; a company that will handle the day-to-day upkeep and keep you in the loop, without bogging you down with the unnecessary details of your grounds care.
