Expert Solutions for Business Properties
Serving Greater Orlando Florida | Windermere | Oviedo | Longwood
Your business property says a lot about your company before customers even walk through the door. A well-designed landscape creates that important first impression and shows visitors that you care about quality and attention to detail.
But as a business owner or property manager, you likely have a lot on your plate. The last thing you want to worry about is whether your landscape looks professional and well-maintained. Maybe you’ve noticed dying plants near your entrance, patchy grass in high-traffic areas, or overgrown shrubs that block your signage.
Grasshoppers’ commercial landscape design services address these challenges head-on. Our team of certified landscaping professionals has spent years helping commercial properties throughout Florida transform their grounds into welcoming, functional environments.
Whether you manage an office park, retail center, or shopping mall, we create custom solutions that work for your space. Our team includes FNGLA-certified horticultural professionals and ISA-certified arborists who bring real expertise to every project.
How Great Design Can Make an Impact
The power of great commercial landscape design is that it can set the tone for customers and clients’ entire experience. A thoughtfully designed landscape guides visitors naturally toward your entrance, provides comfortable outdoor spaces for employees, and creates a sense of professionalism that reflects your brand values.
For retail properties, attractive landscaping can actually increase foot traffic and encourage customers to spend more time at your location.
On the other hand, a neglected or poorly designed landscape can send the wrong message. Overgrown plants, dead patches of grass, and cluttered flower beds suggest that a business doesn’t pay attention to details.
Our design team works closely with you to understand your brand identity and business goals. We then create landscapes that reinforce your message and appeal to your target customers. The result is a property that stands out from the competition and makes visitors feel welcome from the moment they arrive.
Commercial vs. Residential Landscape Design
There are several key differences that require specialized knowledge and experience. Commercial properties face much heavier use than residential ones, require visibility and safety, and need brand alignment. Business landscapes also must be cost-efficient and low-maintenance.
Unlike homeowners who might enjoy weekend gardening, businesses need solutions that maintain their appearance with minimal disruption to daily operations. We at Grasshoppers focus on selecting plants that look great without constant attention and designing systems that reduce long-term maintenance costs.

Our Process
- Our process begins with a detailed consultation. We’ll walk the grounds together, discuss your vision, and identify any problem areas that need special attention.
- Next, our design team creates a custom plan. We consider factors like sun exposure, soil conditions, drainage patterns, and existing structures.
- Once we’ve developed an initial concept, we’ll present it to you for feedback. We’ll make adjustments until you’re completely satisfied with the plan.
- During installation, our crews work efficiently to minimize disruption to your business operations. We also maintain clean, safe work areas throughout the project.
- After your new landscape is in place, we offer ongoing maintenance services to keep your property looking its best year-round.
Considerations & Factors in Your Design
Every commercial landscape design involves balancing multiple factors to achieve the best possible outcome, including:
- Climate Adaptation
- Soil Health
- Water Management
- Traffic Patterns
- Local Regulations
- Costs
Costs to Consider
- Design fees cover the professional planning and creativity that goes into your project. This includes site analysis, concept development, detailed drawings, and revisions based on your feedback.
- Installation costs make up the largest portion of most landscape projects. This includes labor, plants, trees, hardscape materials, irrigation equipment, and lighting fixtures.
- Regular services like fertilization and pest control require consistent investment.
- Replacement and renovation costs should factor into your long-term planning. Even the best landscapes need periodic updates as plants mature, styles change, or your business needs evolve.
Plant and Tree Recommendations That Are Low-Maintenance
The intense summer heat, heavy rainfall, and occasional drought conditions can stress even the hardiest plants. That’s why we select species that thrive in Florida and design systems that protect your investment year-round.
For Florida properties, we recommend:
- Native Florida plants like Simpson’s stopper, firebush, and coontie can handle heat, humidity, and local soil conditions.
- Palms like Sabal palms, pygmy date palms, and foxtail palms provide that iconic tropical look while tolerating our conditions.
- Ornamental grasses like Muhly and Fakahatchee add texture and movement to commercial landscapes with very little maintenance required.
- Flowering shrubs like ixora, plumbago, and Walter’s viburnum bring color to your property throughout the year.
- Shade trees like live oaks, southern magnolias, and bald cypress cool parking areas and outdoor spaces while reducing energy costs.
From proper irrigation setup to strategic plant placement, every element of our designs considers the local environment.
