5 Signs It’s Time to Upgrade Your Commercial Landscape

Your landscape is the first thing tenants, clients, and visitors notice about your commercial property. If it’s not making the right impression, it could be time for an upgrade.

At C. Caramanico & Sons, Inc., we work with commercial property managers across Philadelphia, Delaware County, and Chester County to transform aging landscapes into modern, professional environments that boost curb appeal and drive value.

Commercial Landscape Upgrades

Here are five signs that your commercial landscape may be overdue for a refresh:

1. Outdated or Overgrown Plantings

If your property still has the same plant material from decades ago, it’s likely not making the best impression. Overgrown shrubs, faded mulch, and tired trees:

  • Obscure signage and sightlines
  • Detract from your property’s image
  • Create a safety hazard when left unmanaged

Upgrading to low-maintenance, native plants and clean design lines can instantly modernize your landscape.

2. Declining Curb Appeal

Your property should project professionalism and care—every season. If your landscape looks dull, patchy, or uninviting, potential tenants or customers may assume the same about your business or facility.

Landscape enhancements like seasonal color rotations, refreshed entrances, and updated lighting can breathe new life into your site.

3. Frequent Maintenance Issues

Are you constantly dealing with:

  • Brown patches in your lawn?
  • Poor drainage and erosion?
  • Dying trees or failing irrigation systems?

These issues are signs that your landscape systems are no longer functioning efficiently. A full upgrade can reduce maintenance headaches and lower long-term costs.

4. Tenant or Customer Complaints

When your tenants or visitors start noticing the landscaping—in a negative way—it’s a clear red flag. Complaints about:

  • Poor visibility
  • Unsafe walkways
  • Lack of greenery or shade

…can signal it’s time to invest in professional upgrades that improve comfort and satisfaction.

5. You’re Preparing to Sell or Rebrand

Planning to sell your property, attract new tenants, or reposition your brand? A commercial landscape upgrade is one of the fastest ways to:

  • Increase property value
  • Make a memorable first impression
  • Set yourself apart from competitors

Properties with strong landscaping command higher lease rates and appraisals—and they stand out in the market.
