The exterior of a facility leaves the first impression for visitors and employees, and the holiday season is a perfect time to refresh outdoor spaces. Whether you’re adding festive touches or simply enhancing curb appeal, these landscaping and maintenance tips will help your facility look its best for the season.
Add Seasonal Plants and Decor
Consider incorporating seasonal plants like poinsettias, holly, or ornamental cabbage to bring a festive look to outdoor planters and entryways. Decorative touches like wreaths or tasteful holiday lighting can make the space feel welcoming without being overwhelming. Avoid overdecorating, especially if your business needs to maintain a professional look, but a few festive elements can enhance curb appeal.
Inspect and Refresh Exterior Lighting
With shorter days during the holiday season, exterior lighting is essential for safety and visibility. Inspect all outdoor lights, replacing any dim or burned-out bulbs, and consider adding some temporary holiday lighting to trees, shrubs, or around entryways for a festive glow. Use energy-efficient LED bulbs where possible to keep electricity costs down while creating a bright and inviting atmosphere.
Keep Pathways and Parking Areas Clean and Safe
Increased foot traffic during the holidays means it’s important to maintain clean and clear pathways. Regularly sweep walkways and parking areas to remove fallen leaves, debris, and any slick spots from rain or frost. Placing a few extra mats at entrances can help keep dirt and moisture from tracking inside. If your area experiences colder weather, keeping salt or sand on hand can help address any slick patches that may form.
