Keep your Commercial Building Looking Upscale with Landscape Lighting.

Commercial landscape lighting in Cincinnati has several benefits.

During the day your property probably looks awesome. Fresh cut grass, signage, well maintained trees and shrubs, and possibly some cool water features. But, what does it look like at night?

Properly lighting your commercial building has several benefits:

Increased visibility and exposure
Safety for walkways and sidewalks
Lighting for logos and signage
Lighting for trees, shrubs, and mulch beds
Light adds to security of premise

Just like in any other form of advertising, it’s about leaving an impression. People will remember your building when it looks lit by Upscale at night! Make sure your commercial building looks just as Upscale at night as it does during the day. If you’d like to speak to a landscape lighting design specialist contact us here.

Keep that Upscale Look with Bed Edging in Early Spring!

Edging helps maintain that Upscale look, and stops grass from invading your beds.

Things can get messy real quick if you’re not edging your landscaping. Edging along the perimeter of your sidewalks, driveway, and flower beds helps to keep things crisp and clean, but stops the roots of grass in its tracks!

It’s much more difficult to maintain an upscale look if your beds and walkways have grass growing in them.

It’s part of our early springtime maintenance for both our commercial and residential clients. You’ll see our crews all over Cincinnati edging beds in preparation for lawn care through the season and all of our beautiful mulch and flower beds.

Don’t break your back. Contact the team at Upscale Lawncare to properly edge your lawn and beds. You’ll be thankful you did. Questions about edging? Contact us here.
