How to Promote Spring Blooms in Your Commercial Landscape
A well-maintained commercial landscape creates a welcoming environment for tenants, employees, and visitors. One of the best ways to enhance your property’s appeal in the spring is by ensuring vibrant, long-lasting blooms. At The Grounds Company, we specialize in helping properties flourish, and here’s how we do it:
Pruning for Maximum Blooms
Proper pruning in late winter or early spring helps direct plant energy toward new growth and flowering. We selectively prune trees and shrubs to remove dead or weak branches, allowing sunlight and air to reach budding blooms. For commercial landscapes, we focus on ornamental trees like crape myrtles and flowering shrubs such as azaleas, which thrive with precise pruning.
The Right Fertilization Approach
Spring is the time to nourish plants with balanced fertilizers to encourage strong blooms. We assess the soil quality of each property and apply slow-release fertilizers rich in phosphorus to promote flowering. Our tailored approach ensures that plants receive the right nutrients without excessive growth that leads to frequent maintenance.
Watering for Healthy Growth
While spring rains help with hydration, strategic watering is essential, especially for newly planted flowers. We recommend deep watering early in the morning to allow moisture to reach deep roots while minimizing evaporation. Our irrigation solutions ensure efficiency, reducing water waste while keeping flower beds thriving.
Sun Exposure Matters
Certain flowers need full sun to bloom beautifully, while others thrive in partial shade. We strategically place plants like petunias, marigolds, and pansies in optimal locations to maximize their blooming potential. Understanding the sunlight requirements of each plant ensures a continuous display of color throughout the season.
Blooming Season and Duration
We select plants with staggered blooming periods to maintain a colorful landscape all season. Early bloomers like tulips and daffodils kick off the season, while mid-season favorites like roses and daylilies keep the landscape vibrant. Late bloomers like asters extend the visual appeal into early summer.
Best Flowering Plants for Commercial Properties
For high-impact visuals, we recommend low-maintenance yet stunning options such as:
- Annuals: Petunias, begonias, and impatiens for seasonal color.
- Perennials: Coneflowers, salvia, and black-eyed Susan’s for long-lasting blooms.
- Flowering Shrubs: Hydrangeas and spirea to add depth and texture.
