Infuse Your Commercial Landscape With Joy: Holiday Decorating Tips

The holidays are once again right around the corner. Take advantage of the opportunity to elevate your curb appeal right along with everyone’s spirit and infuse your commercial landscape with joy, using these holiday decorating tips.

Utilize Decorations That Can Be Multi-Purposed

It’s a great time to consider enhancing your grounds with a festive environment that will attract and inspire. There are a variety of ways to accomplish this without breaking your budget by utilizing decorations that can be multi-purposed. For example:

Fall Decorations – Pumpkins, gourds, hay bales, scarecrows, corn stalks and shocks of ornamental grasses can be combined with other harvest season décor such as natural evergreen garland and wreaths made of pine boughs, pinecones, holly berries and autumnal leaves in vivid red, orange and golden hues. 

Colorful Holiday Lighting – Installing lights around trees, or to highlight special water features or other hardscapes can tie everything together and add that final element of visual appeal, and when done right, lights can be used for multiple holidays to be reused season after season, year after year. 

What’s more, if you haven’t seen at what’s available in landscape lighting lately, you may be surprised at all the advancements they’ve made with it in recent years. In fact, there are now solar-powered, lighted decorations for virtually every occasion, including garden stakes as well as various inflatables that appear as flickering candles, candy canes, as well as many others. 

The lighted stakes can be utilized around plant beds, hardscape features and for bordering sidewalks and pathways throughout your property, while the inflatables make good centerpieces for entrances or lawns, and with all of the options available, lights are a reasonably simple holiday decoration that can really impress!  

Seasonal Color Rotation – Keeping your flower beds updated and maintaining perennials so they will be long-lived is an effective way to beautify your grounds and evoke feelings of joy and wellbeing; replacing summer annuals with cool season flowers like chrysanthemums, pansies, snapdragons and petunias along with planting evergreen shrubs and trees that put on berries in shades of blue, green and red add that natural eye appeal that goes far towards evoking a joyful holiday spirit–and again, evergreens are a solid, lasting investment. 

Container Plants – Scarlet, Pink and variegated green and white Poinsettias; Christmas Cacti with blooms in shades of cream, red, and fuchsia; Cyclamen and Amaryllis with cheerful flowers in orange, crimson, and other vibrant colors; and deep burgundy, bright yellow and harvest orange mums all lend to holiday ambiance when strategically placed around entry ways and other points of interest both inside and outside. 

Remember Little Details

While you’re decorating your commercial property, remember the little details that can make a big difference. For instance, while light displays are an amazing spectacle at night, you’ll want to make sure you have balanced the holiday lighting with other brightly colored decorations, perhaps wrapping columns in ribbons of red and white, or placing giant outdoor Christmas balls and ribbons on conifers–they even make wrapped presents and other holiday decorations in weather resistant materials so you can create eye-catching holiday exhibits that are sure to please. The trick here is to be certain your grounds make visitors, employees, customers and passersby want to celebrate the season regardless of the time of day.
