Everyone enjoys a splash of color in life, especially in commercial landscapes.

Vibrant blooms with bold and bright hues enhance the visual appeal of your office park, retail center, industrial site, warehouse, or other commercial property in Greater Chicago.

Well-designed landscaping combines perennials, trees, shrubs, and ornamental grasses to provide solid base colors and textures. If you're looking for extra brilliance year-round, incorporating flowers into your landscape can add that pop of seasonal color.

These scenic views often feature seasonal flower displays to bring spring awakening, summer vibrancy, fall richness, and winter coziness. Unsure about using seasonal color or maintaining continuous hues? No worries—we’re here to help.

What is Seasonal Color for Commercial Spaces?

You may hear the term seasonal color and not know what it means.

Commercial landscapes with flowers often feature annual flowers that are replaced seasonally to quickly achieve vibrant color and fullness. This approach ensures that seasonal color enhancements regularly bring flowers to your space.

6 Benefits of Commercial Landscapes With Flowers

Highlighting the natural seasonal cycle with commercial landscaping plants offers numerous health and well-being benefits. Incorporating seasonal flowers is an excellent way to transform a simple landscape into an eye-catching one.

Consider these key advantages of using seasonal color.

1. Seasonal Color Enhances Curb Appeal

Plants suited for different seasons give your commercial property immediate visual appeal, whether it's retail, office, or industrial space.

Using pops of complementary color enhances visual appeal. A building and property lacking color may appear dull. Incorporating vibrant shades and blooming plants can create a more captivating and attractive aesthetic.

2. Seasonal Color Improves Commercial Property Value

Flowers in commercial landscapes instantly enhance a property’s curb appeal and boost its value.

The return on investment (ROI) is significant. A University of Washington report indicates that well-maintained commercial landscapes can generate 7 percent higher rental income.

Additionally, customers tend to spend 12 percent more at businesses with professional landscaping. Furthermore, the resale value of a commercial property featuring attractive landscaping can rise by up to 14 percent.

 

3. Seasonal Color Can Boost Joy & Create a Positive Reputation

Flower-rich commercial landscapes enhance not only the value and curb appeal of your property but also improve mood.

Flowers evoke happiness, and visitors, employees, and passersby will feel more positive and cheerful every time they see your flowers, thanks to dopamine released with each view, often multiple times daily.

This positive impact on your emotional health promotes happiness, calmness, well-being, and a sense of ease. As you celebrate the seasons, you experience a decrease in stress and an increase in feelings of contentment.

4. Seasonal Color Brings Welcome Brightness

Commercial landscaping plants that are brightly colored bring those welcome variations and color splashes that everyone needs as seasons change. This is especially true after a long winter in Greater Chicago. They also help people on your site celebrate the changing seasons.

Not only do bright flowers bring gorgeous views for you, but they also attract insects for pollination.

5. Seasonal Color Can Soften Harsh Architectural Lines

Plants are used in landscapes to soften the hard edges of commercial buildings and hardscape. 

Commercial landscaping plants do this by drawing the eye away from hard edges and toward bold blooms.

6. Commercial Landscaping Plants Have a Positive Impact on the Environment

Seasonal blooms, as well as other trees, shrubs and plants, have a positive impact on the environment by producing oxygen, filtering the air people breathe and helping to control soil erosion.

Colorful flowers also promote a healthy ecosystem and biodiversity that nourishes the surrounding environment.
