Why do you need good garden maintenance in facility management?

With the current trend of people spending more time outdoors in their gardens or parks that have assumed the status of relaxation spaces, the importance of landscaped gardens is paramount. Garden maintenance is not just an issue of appearance but rather an important aspect that contributes to the quality of the working environment of a building, tenant satisfaction, and increase in value of the property. In exploring the various aspects of maintaining a garden, we find there is more to a beautiful garden than just gorgeous flowers and plants: we also gain something from the process.

The Benefits of Garden Maintenance 

Here is what a well-maintained garden gives you:

Enhanced Curb Appeal: Tenants, visitors, or potential clients think better of their premises when they see a lush garden.

Improved Air Quality: Besides, natural air filters are the plants that remove pollutants from our atmosphere and increase oxygen in it; hence, we breathe easier than we could do if there were no such plants around us.

Boosted Employee Morale: Research shows that being in touch with greens can reduce stress while improving mood; this allows workers to become more cheerful and involved in their work. Green spaces and biophilic design in facility management can make employees happier and more engaged, leading to increased productivity and well-being.

Increased Property Value: Constantly managing surroundings can greatly improve your land worth.

Here are some key practices for successful garden maintenance:

Regular Mowing and Edging: Keeping grass at a consistent height when you cut will facilitate its growth and add aesthetic appeal to it, this is a sign of a clean garden. Edging curbs, walkways, and flower beds create a more polished look.

Seasonal Planting: Always have a seasonal feel and keep the visual appeal of your garden, rotating, the plants and flowers will be useful.

Proper Watering: Overwatering or under-watering your plants can harm them. Knowing when plants need watering most and adjusting your watering schedule to the different seasons.

Here are essential toolkits for effective garden maintenance.

Basic Tools: Any gardener should have pruning shears, hand trowels, rakes, shovels, watering cans, and a good pair of gardening gloves.

Advanced Tools: When you have a bigger landscape, you can save time by buying a lawn mower, a hedge trimmer, and a leaf blower.

Insect-Repellent Plants for Health Support: It may be beneficial to incorporate garden plants that repel insects to boost better health. Dish gardens with scented herbs such as lavender, marigold, citronella grass and basil repel insects, relax the mind, and even purify the air.

The Power of Organic Solutions

Always use organic solutions in your garden whenever you can. Go for natural methods of weed control like manually pulling them or vinegar. Instead of fertilisers, compost feeds the soil with nutrients, allowing plants to grow not only healthy but without any chemicals.

Investing in garden maintenance not only adds to the beauty of the building but also contributes to the health and well-being of all occupants. By combining these organic techniques with the right equipment you can create a lush and green garden that supports ecosystems and improves the overall environment.
