A few simple flourishes and updates can go a long way in [enhancing curb appeal](https://www.strategicgrounds.com/blog/5-ideas-commercial-landscaping-next-level/). Here are some innovative commercial landscaping ideas that you should consider this season! [![Spring Sprinkler Start-Up Guide CTA](https://blog.strategicgrounds.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/88dd2366-cd0c-4c84-b1e3-fe6dfbf79b5e-2.png?width=1200&height=150&name=88dd2366-cd0c-4c84-b1e3-fe6dfbf79b5e-2.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/4515720/88dd2366-cd0c-4c84-b1e3-fe6dfbf79b5e) ### 1. Create a Colorful Garden Bed  Adding colorful flowers or plants to your commercial landscape can make an otherwise uninteresting area look more inviting. [Consider creating a garden bed](https://www.strategicgrounds.com/blog/protecting-your-flower-beds-with-weed-control-services/) in front of your business that features low-maintenance perennials in bright colors like yellow, pink, purple, and blue. You could also add a few shrubs or small trees for additional height and depth. As a bonus, these plants will attract beneficial insects like butterflies and bees!  ### 2. Go Green with Plantings  Adding plants to your commercial landscape is a great way to go green while increasing curb appeal. Whether it’s trees, shrubs, flowers, or even vegetables, there are plenty of ways to spruce up your outdoor space with plants. Select the right species of plant for the area you want to improve, and make sure you give them enough sunlight, water, and nutrients so they will thrive in their new home. Once established, these plants will require minimal maintenance on your part.  ### 3. Create A Fountain or Water Feature  Adding a [fountain or water feature](https://in.pinterest.com/pin/looking-to-install-a-customer-water-feature-at-your-home-or-commercial-property-boulder-falls-land--545076361136604295/) to your commercial landscape is a great way to create a calming atmosphere. Fountains provide ambient noise that can help mask street noise and other distractions, making it easier for people to relax in the outdoor space. They also add visual appeal with their intricate designs and gentle streams of water cascading down from one level to another. Depending on the size of your budget and the area available, you may choose from anything from wall fountains to poolside fountains.  ![spring sprinkler start up](https://blog.strategicgrounds.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/129207935_l-e1648073940688.jpg?width=800&height=400&name=129207935_l-e1648073940688.jpg) ### 4. Update Your Walkway  Take a look at the walkway leading up to your business. [Is it cracked or crumbling?](https://www.strategicgrounds.com/blog/is-it-time-to-repair-your-commercial-walkways/) Are there weeds growing in between the pavers? If so, consider replacing it with something fresh—like flagstone or bricks—that will instantly improve the curb appeal of your commercial landscape. For extra style points, add colorful flower beds along either side of the walkway for visual interest!   ### 5. Install Outdoor Lighting  Outdoor lighting not only enhances safety but also adds ambiance to any commercial landscape. Adding lights along pathways and around seating areas can create an inviting atmosphere after dark. String lights are trending as they give off soft, ambient light that makes any outdoor space feel cozy and comfortable.   ### 6. Add Outdoor Seating Areas Creating seating areas throughout your outdoor space is one of the best ways to make it more inviting. Whether you choose benches or chairs with cushions, adding seating areas gives customers somewhere to relax while they wait for their appointment or take a break from shopping. Make sure you provide enough seating options, so everyone feels welcome!   ### 7. Draw Attention With Ornamental Grasses  Adding ornamental grasses to commercial landscapes can help draw attention away from asphalt or concrete walkways while providing a unique foliage texture. For added beauty, consider planting varieties like feather reed grass, Japanese forest grass, or blue fescue. ### 8. Integrate A Fire Pit For hotels and resorts, adding a [commercial fire pit](https://www.wsj.com/articles/sunken-fire-pit-interior-design-best-garden-addition-11662670467) area can add visual interest and create a place for visitors to gather. Include chairs, benches, or other seating options around the fire pit area, and use gravel or flagstone pavers as the base material. ## Freshen Up Your Business This Spring and Summer  Spring and summer are the perfect time to upgrade your outdoor space with simple yet effective commercial landscaping ideas. From a water feature to an outdoor seating area, these upgrades can create an inviting and inspiring atmosphere for any business or organization.
