Summer is when commercial landscapes are on full display. Longer days, warmer weather, and increased outdoor activity mean more eyes on your property’s exterior, including tenants, their employees, and prospective occupants touring the space. It’s also when the gaps in a landscape program become most visible: faded seasonal color that was never refreshed, mulch beds…
