Get Your Commercial Property’s Landscaping Summer Ready

This year has flown, and summer isn’t too far away now! That means that all excellent and proactive building management companies are deep into their summer landscaping planning. Your property’s gardens, plants and green spaces need extra care during the hotter months, and our landscapers and building managers in Sydney (and all the other fantastic locations we work in) will know exactly what they need to do to keep yours thriving throughout December, January and February.

Summer Landscaping Trends in Facilities Management

A recent survey by Greener Spaces Better Places predicts the rise of greening our homes and neighbourhood and foresees “planting below, besides, and overhead to cool our homes and neighbourhoods, whilst increasing property value.” In the springtime, our landscaping and commercial building management services teams prepare by planting and revamping your landscaped areas so come summer they can help bring the temperature down in and around your building. If you’re new to the CGS Facilities Management family and this work wasn’t carried out by your previous building management companies, please flag this with your building manager or get in touch with us. We can catch the tail end of spring to still draw out these natural benefits for you.

Summer Plants Building Management Companies Use 

We are big fans of drought-resistant plants in our landscaping designs. They’re hardy, can survive (and enjoy) the summer heat, and they look good all year long. Examples of these types of plants include natives like banksia and bottlebrush, as well as agaves, aloe vera and cacti. We know that many of our commercial properties utilise hedging too. Our landscapers and building managers in Sydney and beyond will have a specialised plan for your hedges, including regular fertilising, watering and trimming.

Commercial Building Management Services: Landscaping for Mental Health

Another trend revealed by the Greener Spaces Better Places survey is that Aussies will continue to “look to nature and the sensory experiences offered in our own gardens” as because of the proven mental health benefits of plants (like improved mood and concentration)”. During the pandemic, many of us reengaged with nature as gardens and green spaces are highly regarded as peaceful, happy places. They have remained sought-after places in the years since. We also always see an uptick in the use of these areas over summer – whether that’s with the increase of festive events, or more people out and about over their Christmas holiday period.  That’s why it’s so important you have the right building management companies in place, making sure your landscaping looks good but is also functional and free from hazards.
