COMMERCIAL LANDSCAPES

Priorities in Design for Commercial Properties

CURB APPEAL: Attract clientele to your or your tenants’ business; improve property values and improve occupancy rates. Shoppers often investigate a store before parking and going inside. Ladd Modern Landscape Architecture can help signal:

You’re open for business;
What kind of business this is and;
Come on inside! Customers can picture themselves inside that store.

Stand up to the new competition with an emphasis on quality and value.

UTILITY: Maximize usage of every square foot of your space.

Increase safety and security.
Lower costs and vandalism.

PLACE-MAKING: Create and activate exciting urban spaces. Imprint your establishment’s place on the local scene.

CONNECTION: Claim your property’s place in a location with escalating land values. Facilitate pedestrian and vehicular access to your site and movement within it.

ENHANCE: Already have great structures? Enhance your existing assets and freeze out the competition. Refresh and update the landscape.

REPOSITION: When some elements shine and others lag, reposition elements within the commercial site to optimize successes and introduce solutions.

INDUSTRIAL LANDSCAPES

Industrial Properties come with special CHALLENGES including:

FITTING INTO the neighborhood, to make your neighbors glad your industry is here, and not just for the employment opportunities you bring.
WAY-FINDING and DELINEATION OF OUTDOOR AREAS: Differentiate between access for deliveries & shipments, and access for visitors & employees. Hide some things and focus attention on others. We do so with signage, plantings, site furnishings, lighting and other design elements.
SAFETY & SECURITY: Increase visibility and eliminate blind spots.
EMPLOYEE RETENTION: Define employee break areas and where possible, bring the outdoors in.

Note that the services we ultimately perform for you will be spelled out in the contract between us. Contract sum depends upon which options are chosen. The information provided on this website is to give you an idea of what we can do for you. Some services are not needed, desired nor included in all projects. All plans are schematic in nature. Figures we give for work areas or quantities are to help you obtain the optimal comparison between installation price quotes. Contractors and installers must become familiar with the site before taking on the work.
