First impressions matter. The exterior of your property is often the first thing clients, tenants, or customers see—and a poorly maintained or poorly designed landscape can send the wrong message. At Buchek Landscape & Irrigation, we help businesses avoid common landscaping pitfalls that can hurt their brand image, safety, and even their bottom line.
Here are some of the most frequent mistakes we see—and how we fix them.
1. Neglecting Regular Maintenance
Overgrown shrubs, dead plants, or patchy grass make a property look unprofessional. Neglect can also create safety hazards, such as obstructed walkways or poor visibility in parking areas.
Our Fix: We offer ongoing commercial maintenance programs tailored to your property needs, ensuring every visit leaves your landscape clean, trimmed, and ready to impress.
2. Poor Irrigation Practices
Broken sprinkler heads, runoff, and uneven watering can create muddy patches, dead spots, and high water bills. Beyond wasting money, poor irrigation damages your landscape and creates an unappealing look.
Our Fix: We design, install, and maintain efficient irrigation systems that deliver the right amount of water to every area, reducing waste and keeping your property healthy year-round.
3. Choosing the Wrong Plants
Many commercial properties suffer from plant selections that require high maintenance, struggle in Texas heat, or clash with the overall aesthetic of the building.
Our Fix: We recommend hardy, low-maintenance plants that thrive in our region’s climate while enhancing your property’s visual appeal. The result is a polished look that requires less time and money to maintain.
4. Lack of Seasonal Updates
Landscapes that look identical all year can seem lifeless or outdated. Ignoring seasonal color changes misses opportunities to keep your property inviting and fresh.
Our Fix: We incorporate seasonal plantings and enhancements that add color and vibrancy throughout the year, giving clients and visitors a reason to notice, and remember your business.
5. Ignoring Safety and Accessibility
Uneven walkways, poor lighting, or landscaping that blocks visibility can create safety concerns for visitors and employees. A lack of ADA-compliant design features can also hurt accessibility.
Our Fix: We design and maintain landscapes with safety and accessibility in mind, including proper lighting, clear pathways, and functional layouts that ensure everyone can navigate your property comfortably.
