Making your property inviting is easier than you may have thought. When the landscaping is well-kept and aesthetic, visitors will feel welcome at your property. There are often several aspects that are overlooked when thinking about landscaping in Ohio. These details can have a lasting impact on your landscaping. Here are five elements of landscaping that you may not have thought about for Ohio landscaping. 

1. Seasonal Maintenance

Many home and business owners think of landscaping only for the warm weather months. The thought of landscaping brings to mind images of planting, weeding, and watering. While those are all part of landscaping, it is not the whole story. In Ohio, there is a need for fall clean-up and snow removal, as well. Landscaping is used year-round to keep your property in the best condition.. At Rice’s, we provide complete residential and business landscaping services for every season throughout the year. In the spring and summer, Rice’s will remove unsightly weeds, perform planting bed maintenance, prune and cut back new growth, and cut the grass. Fall is when we remove leaves from the property, handle any perennial or annual needs, and prepare the grounds for winter. In Ohio, we are no strangers to snow and ice. When snow covers your property, we are ready to plow and salt your hard surfaces to keep guests and employees safe. Your business does not stop when the weather cools, and neither should your landscaping services. 

2. Accessibility and Safety

When designing landscaping for your property, you want to take into consideration accessibility and safety for all who enter the property. By adding landscape lighting, your property will be well-lit to avoid accidents and increase safety for you and your guests. The expert team of designers at Rice’s can create a commercial landscaping plan that incorporates safety features that will be appreciated by customers and employees. 

3. Watering Systems

You may not think about water systems since our Ohio climate frequently gets rain, but irrigation is a necessary component for commercial landscaping. Even though it does rain in the area, it can be sporadic, which leaves plants parched during dry periods. By installing an irrigation system, you can be sure your landscaping is receiving the precise amount of moisture needed for plants to thrive. No more needing to remember to water the landscaping or guessing for the correct water levels. An added bonus of irrigation systems is that they conserve water, which can help reduce utility costs. Irrigation systems support the health of your landscaping with precise, consistent water for even coverage across your landscaping. 

4. Creating a Welcoming EnvironmenT

Visitors will feel welcome when they arrive at your property with professional landscaping. A modern, tidy, and cohesive aesthetic reflects your own personal style, while also tying in the natural beauty of your property.  Rice’s can help you find the best look for your property.

Each maintenance schedule will vary depending on the type of planting you have and the time of the year. Rice’s can help you with long-term planning to ensure your landscaping looks stunning now and down the road.
