Three Beneficial Reasons for Restaurants to Surround Diners with a Beautiful Landscape

1. July 26, 2017 Three Beneficial Reasons for Restaurants to Surround Diners with a Beautiful Landscape The restaurant industry is vast yet competitive. Each tries to outdo their competitors in a particular niche or cuisine. However, the edge is often attained by the restaurant that goes beyond the stomach and to the eyes. Indeed, a beautiful exterior can be the deciding factor for customers in regard to their restaurant choices. Aside from reeling in customers who love taking their “selfies” in front of green, flowery spots or fountains around a restaurant, landscaping can provide other essential benefits to business owners and customers. If you own a restaurant or plan to open one, consider the top three benefits of investing in your landscape. Page | 1

2. Controls Utility Costs When Done Right In Marietta, Georgia, residents see an average of 217 sunny days, which means mostly warm, bright days and lots of plant or lawn watering. If you include automated drip systems for your landscape, you can keep your flora happy while saving some money over the long term. Landscaping companies offer different kinds of irrigation systems to fit your landscape’s water needs. Furthermore, landscapes can include ground covers that reduce erosion and enable the soil to retain water. Some examples of ground covers include periwinkle and English ivy. These covers require minimal maintenance, which reduces utility bills as well. Landscaping can then preserve or improve soil quality while ensuring proper water management. Diminishes Extreme Heat During Hot Weather During hot weather, grass or other forms of natural coverage, as well as fountains, can partially mitigate the level of sweltering heat. A natural turf with shade from trees and vines provides relief from severe heat. In addition, fountains and ornamental pots with flowing water offer a form of natural air-conditioning as the water evaporates into the air. As customers leave their air-conditioned automobiles, the blunt blow of summer's heat is not as devastating with such landscape additions. They enter your restaurant with a pleasant state of mind. Calming Landscaping Can Bring in Customers A landscape with the right mix of plants, grass, walkways, fountains and patios enhances the inviting nature of your restaurant. A calming landscape dotted with benches to relax upon says welcome to your guests, whether in the morning, afternoon, or evening. Moreover, the photos they take while relaxing in front of the restaurant often end up on social media just as much as your luscious plates of food. A landscape, therefore, serves as a great promotional tool online. With the right landscaping company, you can surround your restaurant and its customers with a landscape that puts diners in the mood while saving you money on what otherwise might be expensive water bills. Get a handle on the growth of your business and its landscape by implementing a well-designed and managed landscape. Page | 2
