The New England area has some of the most beautiful landscapes and foliage during the fall–at least when it comes to residential homes! For many commercial businesses, landscaping is often forgotten which leads to many missed opportunities that could attract customers and create better first impressions. When people pass by your business or store, they should feel welcomed by your displays and landscaping.
Even if you’ve just got a small lawn that leads up to your front door, you should absolutely take good care of it. At the very least, it should be maintained so that weeds don’t start growing everywhere! But if you want to take things to the next level and kick things up a notch, then you’d benefit from professional fall planting design by our experts at Mass Lawn Pros.
If you’re in the New England area, then our professionals can help you redesign your business exterior to take full advantage of any greenery that you have. Whether it’s a lawn in front of your business or a small garden in the back, we can help you create beautiful and functional spaces that you and your customers will love.
Plant and shrub designs that will benefit commercial properties
Regardless if you’re a small store or an office building, landscaping is a great way to create better vibes in and around your commercial property. But in order to do so, you’ve got to have a better understanding of the various plant and shrub designs that suit the landscape of New England. So here are some of our favorite plant and shrub designs that we recommend.
Red Maple, Sugar Maple, and Eastern Redbud
If you’re not against the idea of having new trees on your commercial property, then we suggest trees with red shades such as red maple, sugar maple, and eastern redbuds. These are fantastic choices for creating a bold red backdrop on your commercial property that contrasts with the usual green hues of your lawn and shrubs. This adds a beautiful aesthetic appeal that you won’t get with other trees, and their larger nature means they can take up more empty space on your commercial property if needed. These are fantastic fall colors to pick and can really stand out.
Switchgrass and Little Bluestem
Switchgrass and little bluestem are known as ornamental grasses because they add a lot of texture and volume to your landscape. They can drastically transform a boring lawn, and the way they sway in the wind gives your lawn a bit of movement which can be inviting for customers and clients. These are often best planted in larger batches, but a small bundle of these grasses is enough to create a wonderful effect that will transform your lawn. These are great for the fall color palette too!
Oakleaf Hydrangea, Red-Twig Dogwood
For shrubs, we highly recommend oakleaf hydrangea and red-twig dogwood. Oakleaf hydrangea has beautiful oak-like leaves that change into a darker red hue as it approaches autumn. This complements the autumn feel wonderfully, adding hints of red to your landscape which will contrast with the green. However, this completely changes during the spring and summer seasons when they turn a beautiful pearly white.
Coneflowers, Lily of the Valley, Marigolds, Lavender
Coneflowers offer a vivid splash of purple and pink during the fall if you’re looking for a bold color. On the other hand, lily of the valley are far more muted and smaller in size. Marigolds can add bright orange, red, or yellow accents, and lavender offers a comforting scent while also
looking amazing on any landscape. There are just so many fantastic choices when it comes to flowers that we really can’t decide on just a few! Flowers add a touch of color to your landscapes, so it’s really up to you and your preferences. Of course, our experts at Mass Lawn Pros will always be happy to help you choose the right plants and colors for your business as well.
