Here are our top ten reasons why we think your business should swap the greenhouse effect for green fingers and get in on the commercial planter trend.

THE TOP TEN BENEFITS OF COMMERCIAL PLANTERS

1. Sustainable branding

Planting luscious greenery directly outside your doors and entranceways immediately consolidates your company image as an eco-friendly brand. Commercial planters are also a great way of transforming your company grounds into pleasant gardens – and these large pots could even be placed on your rooftops for the ultimate sign that your business values the environment.

2. Improved aesthetics

Would you rather walk into a business surrounded by plants, flowers and trees or a company characterised by dull, grey concrete? Commercial planters are a great way of getting people to notice your business in the first place, whilst enhancing their overall mood and experience from the moment they walk in.

Indeed, with careful planning and sustainable landscaping expertise, your new commercial planters have the power to make your building truly iconic.

3. Enhanced wellbeing

Studies have shown that just being able to see some greenery from the window boosts people’s mood. Nature can have an incredibly positive impact on your own wellbeing, in addition to making employees more productive and clients more receptive as a result of their new-found positivity.

Commercial planters are the perfect way to introduce stress-free peace and harmony into your corporate environment, without having to worry too much about maintenance.

4. Increased property value

Of course, the more attractive your building looks, the more potential buyers will be willing to pay for the privilege of becoming the next owners or tenants. Commercial planters are a great way to boost property value, particularly as a green commercial space is more likely to generate foot traffic and therefore, more revenue in the long term.

5. Support for local wildlife

Sustainable commercial landscaping is all about working with what’s already there. Commercial planters are a great place to introduce native flowers like lavender and honeysuckle, creating low-maintenance habitats for local butterflies and endangered species like bees.

6. Better air quality

Plants reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. Not only does this help to combat climate change but it also makes the air quality better for those working at or visiting your company, as well. Choose commercial planters for maximum environmental benefits with minimum maintenance.

7. Combats climate change

In addition to the new habitats and improved air quality that your commercial planters will generate, additional greenery helps to reduce the urban heat island effect. What’s more, with the correct drainage, commercial planters can be strategically placed to reduce the amount of rainwater that saturates the ground, helping to prevent local flooding, as well.

8. Long-term investment

Commercial planters are durable and require very little maintenance, particularly if you opt for planters made from high-quality materials like Corten steel. Indeed, also known as weathering steel, Corten steel planters can last for a great many years, making them the ideal long-term investment for your company garden.

9. Versatility and expansion

Commercial planters are much easier to move than lawns, flower beds and more permanent landscaping structures, particularly when you opt for models that come with castors or wheels. Some commercial planters are even equipped with 90 mm legs – making them the exact height required for forklifts or pump trucks to be able to lift and reposition them.

Commercial planters are also much easier to style to match your desired aesthetic. You can make them as simple or elaborate as you want with a variety of different plants, which can easily be switched whenever you would like.

Thanks to their distinctive rustic patina, Corten steel planters look particularly beautiful and are incredibly versatile in that this attractive material works well in all kinds of outdoor commercial environments.

10. Maximum results, minimum effort

As you can see, commercial planters are an incredibly low-maintenance sustainable landscaping option, particularly when you opt for Corten steel.
