Before & After: Landscape Renovations That Transformed Idaho and Utah Properties

Landscapes don’t last forever — especially when they’ve been neglected or no longer meet the needs of a growing business or property. Fortunately, with the right vision and expertise, an outdated outdoor space can be completely transformed into a functional, beautiful extension of your commercial property.

In this post, we’ll explore the power of landscape renovation through real-world examples and key design elements that turn “before” into “wow.”

What Is a Landscape Renovation?

Landscape renovation refers to the process of upgrading or reimagining an existing outdoor space — whether it’s minor enhancements or a complete overhaul. Common reasons Idaho and Utah property managers choose to renovate include:

• Overgrown or outdated landscapes
• Damaged irrigation or hardscaping
• Changes in property use or brand image
• Safety concerns or ADA compliance issues
• Poor curb appeal and declining tenant interest

Whether it’s a full redesign or targeted improvements, renovations can drastically boost property value and function.

Real Renovation Wins from Across Idaho and Utah

🏢 Office Complex in Boise: From Bare to Brand-Building

Before: Patchy turf, sparse shrubs, and no seating made the outdoor space look neglected.
After: A complete refresh added walkways, custom signage, native plantings, and low-voltage lighting — transforming the site into a branded, client-ready exterior.

🛍️ Retail Center in West Valley City: From Worn to Welcoming

Before: Faded curbing, dead shrubs, and weedy planter beds turned customers away.
After: New pavers, fresh mulch, seasonal flowers, and bollard lighting re-energized the entrance and boosted walk-in traffic.

🏘️ HOA in Meridian: From Bland to Beautiful

Before: Aging shrubs, overgrown trees, and neglected lawn in community common areas.
After: Renovated turf zones, updated irrigation, colorful beds, and ADA-compliant pathways increased resident satisfaction and reduced long-term maintenance.

Elements That Make the Biggest Impact

You don’t always need a total teardown to make a dramatic difference. Here are key upgrades that create immediate curb appeal:

• Defined edges and bed lines
• Modern plant choices with layered textures
• Upgraded irrigation systems with smart controls
