Eagle, Idaho ~ Fresh Look, Lasting Impact: Business Park Landscape Transformation

I had the opportunity to completely transform the landscape of a 10,000-square-foot commercial property—and the results speak for themselves. What was once a tired, uninspired space is now full of color, texture, and vibrancy.

The goal with this project was simple: create a beautiful, low-maintenance environment that enhances the property’s overall appearance and makes a great impression year-round. To do that, we introduced a wide variety of plants that not only offer seasonal interest but also thrive in commercial settings. This included 149 hydrangeas, 158 coneflowers, 136 rudbeckia, 171 catmint, 61 penstemon, 33 buckthorns, along with weigelas, boxwoods, Russian sage, and mugo pines. These selections were chosen for their durability, visual appeal, and ability to bring softness and movement to the space.

Before planting, we cleared the space of old stumps and dead shrubs to ensure a clean slate for the new design. In addition to the plantings, we took on a much-needed irrigation overhaul. The existing system was outdated and riddled with leaks. We repaired and revamped the sprinkler system to ensure efficient water use and reliable coverage for all plant zones. After all the repairs and new plantings were installed, we laid down a white gravel throughout which not only enhances drainage but adds a polished, modern look that ties the entire space together.

The final result is a refreshed and inviting landscape that adds curb appeal and character to the property. It’s not just about the plants—it’s about creating a space that feels well-cared-for and welcoming. We’re proud of how this project turned out and excited to see how it continues to grow.
