Artificial grass has it all over natural grass. It not only provides multiple cost savings, it can actually earn more revenue for your property. That makes it doubly profitable. Beyond that, there is the intangible value of artificial grass, which is priceless. Commercial properties that offer maximum aesthetic appeal and functional utility improve the perceived quality of surrounding properties and perform best from a branding standpoint.
It’s hard to look your best and provide desirable, grassy tenant amenities in the face of increasing need to control costs, especially for water. Whether it rains or not, here in California extreme water conservation measures are here to stay. You have to factor that into your budget. Perhaps even more importantly, you have to serve tenants and a larger community in an atmosphere where sustainability is not only popular but expected.Everybody loves grass. But natural grass just doesn’t cut it.
Whether your property is a business park or residential community, tenant turnover is a major expense. It’s bad for your bottom line and bad for your branding. Your goal is 100% occupancy.
Good looks sell, we all know that. A handsome property looks prosperous. That’s a psychological uplift for tenants – businesses that want to look stable and worthy to customers, residents that want to look successful to visiting friends and relatives, event participants who want to thoroughly enjoy their experience.
Making a stellar first impression is critical, because it’s not only a first impression – it’s what tenants and visitors see every time they approach or look out the window. Top-quality aesthetics speak to people emotionally as well as psychologically. Your property has that certain “something.” That kind of consistently gorgeous curb appeal can help attract and retain tenants.
Artificial grass compares beautifully to natural grass in every way. It is durable and resilient, ready to take on activities of all kinds. It is the definition of pristine, and it will give your property curb appeal that won’t quit. Literally. Who wouldn’t want to live or work at your place?
It looks worn and scruffy where foot traffic is high or the grass is frequently used for activities. Dogs use your lawn to do what dogs do, leaving behind holes and yellow patches. Gophers and moles join the party. In shady areas, the grass is always damp and muddy, or it just won’t grow. Overall, drought and water restrictions have taken their toll. You want “pristine,” but it’s out of reach.
Unless you switch to artificial grass.
Top-quality synthetic grass looks and feels like the real thing, so gorgeous consistency is never in question. Yet it never needs mowing, edging, fertilizing, or incessant weed and pest control measures. And since it doesn’t grow, it doesn’t need watering, either.
You can save big money by eliminating traditional lawn maintenance plus related equipment and supplies. You can save money on labor, or increase staff productivity by using your people in other ways. And think of the money you’ll save on water! With artificial grass, you are a bottom-line hero.
Yes, there are still a few things you’ll want to do to keep your fake grass in prime condition. But maintaining artificial grass is easy and fast. Synthetic turf lasts for many years without fading or becoming worn-looking. And should there ever come a need, it’s as easy to clean as it is to maintain. Artificial grass is virtually stain-proof.
With artificial grass, pristine is no longer out of reach. It’s the new normal.
Did you know that installing artificial grass can actually boost the value of your commercial property? Yep. It can help increase revenue now and future resale value down the road. Here’s how:
Of course, it’s important to note that not all artificial grass is created equal. Especially for commercial properties, you want grass that will function as expected and look really great for years to come. Top performance starts with choosing a top-quality product. One way to judge that is by looking at the warranty, because manufacturers who are proud of their products are happy to provide better warranties.
But which synthetic grass is right for your property? You might be shocked to learn how many different styles of artificial grass there are, each one designed for specific purposes. No reason to feel overwhelmed, though. Our experts here at Heavenly Greens can explain the differences and the pros and cons of various types of grass, to help you make a picture-perfect choice for your needs.
Unsightly
Noisy
Messy
Expensive
All four of these problems affect your tenants as negatively as they affect your budget. This is nuts! With artificial grass, you can say goodbye to repeated replacement. One and done, as they say, for many years to come. Bonus: you can say goodbye to water expense, too. Another bonus: no downtime and mess for replacement means full-time availability for tenants or rentals.
Once you switch to artificial grass at your commercial property, you’ll save so much money, you can easily afford to add some drought-resistant flowers, shrubs and trees to enhance overall aesthetics. If the weather gets extremely hot or dry, giving these plants a little water boost won’t break the bank. And plants that are naturally well-adapted to their surroundings typically need less maintenance. You can add color and texture to landscaping for maximum visual effect, with minimal budgetary impact.
While combating drought has become a way of life for every Californian, increasingly we are also having to combat the threat of wildfire. As property manager, one of your jobs is to proactively protect your facilities and tenants as best you can. Installing artificial grass helps you do that. It can melt if it gets hot enough, but it will never flame up. It can also help protect the underlying soil from scorching, which can do long-term damage and trigger nasty erosion problems.
The drought-tolerant plants you select to surround your artificial grass can help with fire protection as well. Along with needing little to no watering, many of these plants are naturally less vulnerable to fire.
With artificial grass, creative landscaping is simpler, easier, and more beautiful!
You can be their salvation (and perhaps their new best friend), thanks to artificial grass. What could you add?
There are almost unlimited ways to use artificial grass to enhance the appearance and livability of commercial properties. The more you take advantage of that versatility, the more you’ll be doing to beef up your brand and distinguish your property from others.
Artificial grass is not only versatile, it is accommodating. It seems as if every property has landscaping challenges of some kind. But where natural grass has “issues,” synthetic grass is designed to solve landscaping problems. Steep slopes or undulating terrain? Deep shade? Small or irregular spaces that defy mowing? So what? Since artificial turf doesn’t grow or need mowing, you can plant it anywhere and look forward to spectacular, uniform results. It’s a property manager’s dream come true.
But, wait. There’s more, because fake grass can turn lemons into lemonade in other ways as well. For example, you can replace boring, ugly surfaces such as walkways, driveways, and parking areas with artificial grass. Combined with permeable pavers, it’s the good-looking, eco-friendly alternative that will get heads turning your way.
What’s more, artificial grass can elevate the aesthetics and practical value of upper-level surfaces such as rooftops and balconies. Imagine what you could do with a rooftop garden – talk about a popular tenant amenity!
But that’s just the beginning. Top-quality artificial grass products are good for your business, because they’re safer and healthier for the humans you serve:
inviting. Instead of serving as a look-but-don’t-go-there decoration, it will become a go-to resource for pleasant outdoor relaxation, parties, or play.
