3 Ways Weeds Can Impact Your Commercial Landscape

The first impression that potential customers, clients and business partners get of your business is from your outdoor landscape. Before they have even stepped foot in the building, they have already made a judgement on the quality of your business and what to expect when working with you.

An untidy, unkept landscape with overgrown plants and weeds gives the impression that you do not look after your business, which is extremely off-putting for any potential clients or employees.

This is why it’s essential to maintain your landscape to keep it looking clean and professional all year round. Here are 3 ways weeds can impact your commercial landscape:

1. Weeds create an unappealing appearance

Weeds can quickly cause a business to look shabby, unappealing and neglected. Those are not the words you want to come to mind when someone thinks of your business!

A shabby appearance can impact the success of a business much more than you might think as it puts off not only business partners and customers but also potential employees too.

Getting rid of weeds will protect your business from the eyesore that weeds create.

2. Weeds can infect and kill plants

While you might have a vibrant, flourishing display of plants blooming around the entrance of your building, failing to get rid of weeds can result in the spread of diseases which eventually destroys and kills any nearby plants.

Weeds often carry or host plant pathogens, which can significantly increase the risk of plants becoming infected. Once plants and trees fall prey to disease, it can be nearly impossible to save them.

3. Weeds attract pests

If an overgrown commercial landscape filled with weeds isn’t enough to put off potential customers and employees, then the arrival of pests like mice, rats and insects might!

Weeds often attract pests, which can lead to a number of other health concerns for your business.

Many of the pests that usually live amongst overgrown weeds carry diseases. This can become a serious problem, especially if your business serves food to the public. To prevent any pests from scaring away your customers, invest in commercial weed removal services to keep your business clean and safe all year long.
