Elevated Landscaping Ideas for Commercial Construction

Commercial construction provides the perfect canvas for high-end landscaping. Whether you want to cultivate a sense of grandeur or serenity, G&G Landscape Solutions can help you make a bold impression.

With over 30 years of experience creating incredible landscapes, we can tackle any project—no matter how large and complex—with finesse.

Here are some features to consider for your next commercial project:

Water Features

Water features can help you make a strong impression on your employees and clients. A fountain at the center of your landscape—or a waterfall that greets people as they enter your space—can help you instill a sense of grandeur in your surroundings.

If you’re looking for something more understated and modern, reflecting pools can be a sleek and sophisticated way to include a water feature in your landscaping.

Paving and Pathways

A more subtle—but equally impressive—way to incorporate landscaping into your commercial construction project is to utilize custom paving and pathways.

High-quality materials like granite or marble can create visually impressive walkways or plazas.

Sports and Recreation Areas

Creating spaces where clients, customers, and employees can go to to destress and relax will set your commercial project apart from the rest. Consider installing a putting green or walking paths to enhance your landscape’s usability and attractiveness.

Lighting

Highlighting a building’s architecture and landscaping with strategically placed lighting is a simple yet effective way to enhance your commercial property’s appearance and improve the overall ambiance of

your space. Shine a light on the aspects of your commercial landscape that you find most impressive, such as gardens, flowering trees, winding pathways, and water features.

Rooftop Gardens

Rooftop gardens are an excellent way to infuse luxury into your building’s space. They offer beautiful views while doubling as relaxing green spaces for employees, clients, customers, and guests. They can also be an effective (and attractive!) way to capture rain runoff.

You can customize the plants to your needs—whether you envision a garden filled with flowers, fresh herbs and vegetables, or plants that purify the air.
