The exterior of your facility or shop is just as important as the interior. The image you present outside is sometimes your only opportunity to draw people in. From hanging baskets to container displays, live plants provide you with a spectrum of shapes and colors that the eye is naturally drawn to. And where the eye is drawn to, feet are sure to follow.
 
With 25 years experience, Tropical Interiors understands how to create lasting exterior displays that will draw people to your location.



    S. Side/Full Sun
  • The shapes, sizes, textures and colors of the plants you select will play a large role in drawing people to your doorstep. 
  • Your display needs to be designed with structural "bones," blending evergreens and perennials to provide a plantscape that will be vital throughout the year. This reduces the cost of replacing seasonal color spots.
  • Seasonal shade patterns and exposure to the summer sun drive the selection of plants to create a durable and lasting beautiful presentation.
  • Scale needs to be considered. A plant that's too large may block foot traffic or the view into your lobby or storefront, while one that is too small will be lost behind parked vehicles.
  • Balance is important in both the placement and maintenance of plants. Keeping plants trimmed properly to maintain a good balance is critical to their health.
  • After placement, plants need regular maintenance, including proper watering, cleaning, pruning, and rotation to continue to add beauty to your exterior.
  • Plant physiology needs to be monitored to manage diseases, pests and ensure healthy soil conditions.
  • Finally, container selection will ensure that you're the architecture of your location will be complimented.
Getting all these things right not only takes time that you likely don't have, but it requires the uncommon combination of a Master Gardener's trained eye, skilled hand, design sensibility and depth of knowledge of the plant world. It requires the type of experience and skill that you'll only find with a partner like Tropical Interiors.
