When it comes to decorative planters to enhance your commercial property, think big.
Really big.
Supersize containers — big enough to hold trees — make an instant impressive impact when used in the landscaping of hotels, office buildings, shopping plazas and other commercial properties.
How big? What should you plant in them? Who waters them?
We’re happy you asked. Check out these landscaping ideas with large planters.
Imagine you’re a patient in a hospital room, and your only connection to the outside is what you see out your window. A vibrant green space can make your day.
After your big commercial landscape installation, it’s fun to step back, stare at it, and smile a lot.
It looks fantastic, right?
A mixed-use commercial property needs a great mixed bag of amenities, so there’s something appealing for everybody.
You’re so busy that every time you add another meeting to your calendar, a small part of you sighs heavily, swears, or needs to take an antacid.
You don’t have time to waste.
If you’re happily looking around at your commercial property’s newly planted trees and shrubs, and it looks perfect, somebody messed up.

Some mixed-use developments are so inviting, with vibrant restaurants, upscale shopping, flickering fire pits, and a packed calendar of fun festivities, you just want to live there.

$@#%% snow plows!
The only thing worse than ugly damage from your HOA snow removal company is battling them over who should pay to replace it.
Make sure your snow management company cares.
“We realize what a big part landscaping plays in how you feel about where you live,” says David Keffer, a branch manager at Level Green Landscaping. “The HOA garden committee spends so much time on how things look. We don’t want to tear it up.”
