Commercial grounds and gardens are important to maintain as people like to spend time outside and having well-kept grounds can enhance the look of a building. When the sun is shining, outdoor areas can be utilised by staff to take their lunch outside, or students may want to take time out between university lectures and relax on the lawn. However, if outside spaces do not look inviting then staff and guests may prefer to stay inside, or not visit at all. 

Tips for looking after outdoor commercial spaces

Looking after an outdoor commercial space can be just as important as looking after a building. This is because the external grounds are probably the first thing people see when visiting somewhere and therefore it is vital to make a great first impression. Here are some tips if you would like to take care of your outside space:

1. Power washing: If you have a patio area which has become discoloured, or have trouble making a path with a high footfall look presentable, regular power washing can help with this. These devices, if used correctly, can remove months’ worth of grime along with other stains, without causing damage.
    
2. Hedge care: Hedges can be hard to maintain and can quickly get out of control if left unkempt. A neatly pruned hedge sometimes goes unnoticed, but an uncut dishevelled hedge certainly draws the eye and gives the wrong impression to visitors. Trimming and pruning a hedge regularly can present the view that a company cares about where they work, and will therefore care about their work as well.
    
3. Tackle weeds: Weeding is a constant job, especially through the summer months, and can take up a lot of time. However keeping on top of weed growth can make an outdoor area look a lot nicer. Although it can be very time consuming, tackling weeds in all outdoor spaces can keep the gardens looking well maintained and presentable.
