Why Landscape Matters: Elevating Property Value & Experience for Utah Commercial and Community Spaces
August 18, 2025
In Utah’s competitive real estate market — from Salt Lake City to St. George — commercial property managers and HOAs are under growing pressure to deliver more than just functionality. Your outdoor environment has become a strategic asset, influencing curb appeal, tenant satisfaction, safety, and even lease value.
Whether you’re a member of BOMA Utah, UCCAI, or the Utah Nursery and Landscape Association, investing in quality landscape design and maintenance is a high-ROI decision — not just an expense.
1. First Impressions Drive Value in a Demanding Market
Utah’s commercial and multifamily sectors are expanding — and that growth comes with higher expectations. Prospective tenants and residents notice:
- Well-manicured entryways
- Seasonal plant rotations
- Healthy turf and clean hardscapes
- Professional signage and lighting
a core component of community well-being. A beautiful, functional outdoor space contributes to:
- Positive HOA feedback and survey scores
- Increased property values within the community
- Safer walkways, better drainage, and ADA-compliant zones
- Lower long-term maintenance costs when systems are well designed
Smart irrigation, seasonal cleanup, and tree/shrub care are essential for maintaining long-term appeal — especially in Utah’s dry climate zones.
3. Sustainability is the Future of Commercial Landscaping
With Utah’s growing emphasis on water conservation, many UNLA professionals are turning to:
- Drought-tolerant plantings
- Xeriscaping principles
- Smart irrigation controllers
- Native grasses and pollinator-friendly species
These strategies not only support state conservation efforts but also lower monthly water bills and reduce maintenance frequency — a win for both environmental and financial stewardship.
