Well Landscaped Company Gardens

In the last few years there has been an increase in more and more businesses taking pride in and using their outdoor space for a practical purpose. From companies based in business parks to those in city centres, whether it is a rooftop Eden or just a smart exterior, a lot are taking action to improve it.

Rather than thinking of it as another expense you could do without, take ownership for your company garden and ensure it’s up to scratch. Having a well landscaped garden for your company will provide a range of benefits.

Professional Appearance

The first thing any potential clients, investors or new members of staff will notice when visiting your office will often be the landscaping, especially if it’s a mess. It is also likely to be featured on the company website so having an attractive and smart landscaping is vital.

The same as arriving to a meeting in a clean executive car and flash suit, this creates a professional appearance. Even for gardens, courtyards and patios around the back of your office, most visitors will receive a tour and seeing an untidy one won’t instil much confidence in your business.

Practical Space

Outside space can also be used for a range of practical purposes which help your company maximise space, though only really in good weather. Depending on the nature of the business holding outdoor meetings forms a creative atmosphere which can help generate ideas. It also can help revitalise colleagues by working in the fresh air.

Turning company gardens into productive places where vegetables are grown creates a kind of community project. This can be great for team building purposes as well as brightening workers days. Celebrations can be held when the first produce is ready to be picked or eaten and a real sense of achievement will be shared between the team.

Relaxing Atmosphere

A nice outdoor space can be a great place for workers to spend their lunch breaks and provide a calm, relaxing atmosphere to help colleagues unwind. This can be extremely beneficial in recharging their batteries and being a good place to go after a stressful morning or meeting.

Especially for businesses which don’t have a designated canteen the outside space can be used as a good place to have lunch. This further helps colleagues socialise and will improve relations in a non-working environment. Ensure there’s a small roofed section as we all know how poor British weather can be!
