How Tree Pits Can Spruce Up Your Building’s Exterior

Jim Robinson • October 16, 2023

First impressions are everything in business, which is why you should make sure your building’s exterior looks its best. Most business owners focus on painting or power-washing their building, but there’s another way to add some visual interest to your property. Tree pits are an easy and affordable way to upgrade your building. We’ll explore how tree pits spruce up your building’s exterior and what advantages this subtle change can bring to your company as a whole.


Creates an Aesthetically Pleasing Environment

The first benefit of tree pits is that they create an aesthetically pleasing environment. They add a touch of greenery and a pop of metallic color against the gray pavement. This ensures your building always looks more attractive than the others lost in a sea of gray and neutral tones. Trees also create a sense of tranquility and calmness, which can be a welcome break for employees. When you choose trees that bloom, you can also add a seasonal flair to your building’s exterior.


Enhances the Safety of Your Building

Tree pits also enhance the safety of your building. Trees are a natural barrier to traffic, which can prevent accidents and protect against building damage. They can also improve the air quality around your building by absorbing pollutants and producing oxygen. Moreover, the shade that trees provide can reduce the temperature in the surrounding area, making your building more comfortable.


Increases the Value of Your Property

Another noteworthy way tree pits spruce up your building’s exterior is by raising your overall property value. Many people love trees for their beauty and practical benefits. When potential buyers or renters see that a property has a well-maintained landscape with trees, they are more likely to perceive it as having a higher value. Tree pits can also help you meet LEED certification requirements, a nationally recognized standard for green buildings.


Makes Your Business Stand Out

By choosing to install custom tree pits, you can create a consistent visual brand for your business. This can bolster your company’s appeal by making your building instantly recognizable and more memorable to customers. Moreover, a nice-looking exterior featuring large, beautiful trees can set your business’s presence apart from the competition.
