Spring Sprang. Time to Embrace the Vibrant Colors of Spring and Summer

Now that spring has arrived (even though this heat feels like summer!), it’s the perfect time to shift your focus outdoors and plan for beautiful, colorful blooms. With summer right around the corner, a seasonal color changeout offers the perfect solution to revive your commercial outdoor spaces as we usher in a vibrant new season.

What Does a Seasonal Color Change Out Entail?

In regular landscaping, the beauty of vibrant colors typically peaks in spring and summer. But things can get a bit drab when late summer, fall, and winter arrive. Flowers fade, plants freeze, and grass loses its green charm. Suddenly, what once looked great becomes lackluster for several months.

The solution? Leveraging the use of seasonal color to add visual interest and vitality to your property. The best way to effectively manage seasonal color on commercial landscapes is to adopt a proactive planning approach. This ensures that colors are installed and refreshed according to the changing weather patterns, allowing your landscape to remain vibrant and appealing throughout the year.

Our professional landscaping team offers two standard color changes in summer and winter, designed to last 27 weeks each. But because you never know what Mother Nature will bring each year, a third seasonal changeout can take place between the standard color changes (typically in March and September) to keep your landscape looking fresh through every season. 

Selecting the right plants is crucial for creating well-adapted seasonal color combinations that enhance and attract attention to your commercial property. As part of our spring color changeout, we usually find petunias, begonias, and impatiens to be excellent choices. 

Equally important is the proper maintenance of these plants. We have dedicated color installation and maintenance crews who specialize in the ongoing care of our clients’ color displays, ensuring they remain vibrant and stunning at all times. We also run a nursery facility to guarantee the quality and diversity of our plant selections.

Why do Seasonal Color Changeouts Matter?

Landscaping professionals agree that effective color choice and attractive landscaping can truly elevate your property’s value and charm. The right colors bring interest to your commercial site each season. It’s no secret that people are drawn to well-maintained properties with beautiful and inviting landscapes. This rings especially true for commercial properties, where making a positive impact on visitors, clients, and tenants is critical.

The vibrant colors, expert design, and strategic placement of flowerbeds at your property’s entrances, signage, and common areas send a clear message: you value attention to detail and care deeply about your space. Some great ways to introduce a fresh splash of spring color to maximize curb appeal and property value include;

• Selecting a mix of perennials and annuals: A mix of annuals and perennials in your landscape design will ensure a continuous explosion of color and texture throughout the entire year. Consider the timelines of plant bloom cycles to better understand how long the material will last during a season.
• Adding container gardens – Container planters offer flexibility and versatility, allowing for easy seasonal updates and budget-friendly spring color additions to your commercial property.
• Colorful low-impact shrubs: Incorporating low-impact shrubs such as the widely popular Knockout family of roses can be a sustainable addition to annual flowers. These are known for their continuous, vibrant blooms in various colors, including red, pink, white, yellow, and more.

Let us Help With Your Seasonal Color Landscaping.

As temperatures rise, our maintenance crews spend days visiting our customer’s properties to pull out “color” (flowers/plant materials) that need to be replaced. We then install the new color so it can start growing its roots, giving it time to take root and thrive for the sunny months ahead.
