The
returns
on

in

The
value
proposition
for
all
businesses
is
to
focus
on
unique
ways
in
which
quality
of
life
is
improved
for
employees,
tenants
and
customers.
The
key
aspects
common
to
all,
are
health
and
wellbeing,
environmental
amenities
and
economic
paybacks.
Incorporating
green
plants
contributes
to
these
real,
practical
business
benefits,
whether
you’re
designing
a
new
building,
retrofitting
an
existing
building,
or
managing

80%
of
commercial
landscape
installations
are
performing
below
par,
many
at
risk
of
complete
failure,
with
negative
impact
on
corporate
image,
reputation
and
economic
consequences.
Replacing
plants
can
be
a
costly
and
frustrating
exercise,
in
some
cases
in
our
experience,
more
than
doubling
the
initial
cost.
Typical
operating
cost
for
commercial
landscapes
run
at
between
15-­‐30%
of
initial
landscape
outlays
annually.
Over
50%
of
all
landscape
installations
require
plant
replacements
within
12
months
due
to
poor
plant
selection,
incorrect
environment
setting
and
lack
of
care
expertise
to
identify
plant
health
issues
early.
Studies
by
the
Property
Council
show
that
commercial
properties
with
only
10%
of
total
assets
dedicated
to
living
plant
landscapes
have
higher
occupancy
rate
and
higher
rental
yields
than
surrounding
and
comparable
properties.
Given
the
6
star
energy
rating
and
green
building
initiatives,
investment
in
living
plant
designs
will
only
increase.
Improving
the
working
environment
leads
to
better
work
performance,
fewer
errors,
and
lower
absenteeism.
It
is
crucial
to
implement
an
effective
landscape
management
program
to
both
protect
and
optimize
your
landscape
assets.
Implementing an effective landscape management program
for your property portfolio is crucial to:
Increase occupancy
Reduce capital
expense
avoid
replacement
costs
Maximise
rental yields, Reduce operating costs
reduce value
at risk

image
