Quick Landscaping Tips to Boost Your Property’s First Impression

At ALC Property Maintenance, we have over 30 years of combined experience in landscaping, paving, asphalt, and concrete services. Our team has been providing high-quality, professional landscaping services since 2016 that are guaranteed to meet and exceed your expectations. If you want to improve the look of your property, here are some simple landscaping tips that can enhance its curb appeal: 

1. Create a Welcoming Entryway

The first spot to start when looking to improve your property’s curb appeal is the entranceway – whether that be a driveway, sidewalk or front entrance, overall it should be clean, well-kept and welcoming. For commercial properties in particular, having a clean and open accessible entryway with defined walkways or driveways right from the parking lot sends the message that you are invested in your customer’s experience starting from the moment they arrive at your business.

Pavers or concrete can often create a more updated polished look as far as the overall surface pathways go which is something that our team at ALC Property Maintenance specializes in – we offer complete commercial paving and asphalt services ensuring all of your property’s surfaces are not only visually appealing but safe and long lasting as well. If you already had existing cracks or damage to begin with, sometimes even a quick repair or resurfacing can create an incredible difference overall.

2. Invest in Fresh, Vibrant Plantings

Plants are the backbone of any landscape, and new, healthy plantings are a quick way to boost your curb appeal. Keep in mind what seasons you would like color for and utilize some evergreen plants for that year-round green look.

Also keeping in mind Denver’s climate and soil conditions, you will want to choose plants that will thrive here locally. Our staff at ALC can help guide you through perfect plant selection to ensure they stay healthy & beautiful as well as accent your property.

3. Use Mulch to Define Garden Beds

One of the easiest and most budget-friendly ways to spruce up your landscape is to apply mulch to your garden beds. Mulch helps maintain plant health by retaining moisture and suppressing weeds, plus it gives landscapes a clean, finished look. A layer of mulch around trees, shrubs and flower beds provides visual contrast to the surrounding soil and plants.

Opt for a mulch that complements your property’s design style—dark dyed mulches are great with contemporary designs while natural or lighter colored mulches provide a more rustic or natural feel. If you’re looking for help from a professional landscaping company we offer full service landscaping design and installation to make sure your garden beds look clean and inviting.

4. Illuminate Your Landscape

Good lighting can take your landscape from good to great. Landscape lighting not only enhances the beauty of your property after dark but also provides added security. Path lights along walkways, uplighting on trees or shrubs, and accent lighting on architectural features create a welcoming atmosphere and highlight key aspects of your landscaping.

Choose energy-efficient LED lighting to illuminate your outdoor space without driving up your utility costs. Our landscaping and commercial services include installing and maintaining lighting systems that showcase your property’s best features around the clock.

5. Maintain a Pristine Lawn

A lush green lawn can really make or break a good first impression. Regular mowing, watering and fertilizing along with reseeding and applying sod for bare spots or uneven areas will help keep your lawn looking its best.

We understand the importance of your lawn’s appearance. ALC Property Maintenance provides residential and commercial landscaping maintenance services to clients throughout the greater Denver Metro area. From aerating your lawn in the spring to seasonal treatments we’ll keep your lawn looking great all year around!

6. Add Decorative Features

For that personal touch, consider adding some decorative features to your landscape. You could place garden statuary in special areas of your garden as focal points or conversation pieces. Or perhaps a nice water feature like a fountain or reflecting pond would add that air of elegance you are searching to achieve with your landscape design project. Even outdoor seating could be used, along with mood lighting, to create beautiful and romantic evening settings for relaxation on your property.

7. Trim Overgrown Trees and Shrubs

Overgrown trees and shrubs can steal the beauty from your landscape. They can also block the light that is needed for other plants and your lawn to continue to grow. By keeping trees and shrubs properly trimmed on a regular basis, you will be ensuring that your landscape looks great, while at the same time allowing everything else in your yard to grow healthy as well. It’s so important to remember to cut off any dead or diseased branches so they don’t end up falling off in a storm.

For large trees and shrubs, it is best to have them cut back by one of our professional landscaping crews so they are not damaged. Trust us; we know just how much needs to be taken off of each particular tree or shrub species in order for it to look well-maintained all season long.

8. Use Hardscaping for Structure and Function

Hardscaping elements, such as the retaining walls, patios, and decorative stone paths shown here in this residential landscape installation project not only add visual interest to your outdoor living space but also serve an important functional purpose. Hardscaping can help to address erosion problems in your yard with proper grading, or create additional usable space for recreation on your property through a paver patio or even paving parking lots. Additionally, hardscaping can define different areas within the design of your landscape.

Whether you need a new parking lot installed, a beautiful paver walkway leading to your home or office building created, or even a new concrete patio designed and installed for relaxation outdoors this summer – ALC Property Maintenance has got you covered as we are experienced in all forms of hardscape design and construction projects so that your property is just as functional as it is attractive.

Conclusion

A beautifully landscaped property can leave a lasting impact on clients, guests, or potential buyers. Whether you are making small changes such as planting some fresh flowers, or bigger projects such as adding lighting or paving; every little detail adds to that professional and welcoming first look. At ALC Property Maintenance we offer various services from landscaping, paving, concrete and so on to make that great first impression with your curb appeal.
