Frequently Asked Questions
What is commercial landscape design?
Commercial landscape design is the planning and layout of outdoor spaces for business, institutional, and multi-property sites. It balances aesthetics, functionality, safety, drainage, and long-term maintenance needs while meeting local codes and usage requirements.
What types of properties benefit from commercial landscape design?
Commercial landscape design is commonly used for office parks, retail centers, medical facilities, industrial campuses, apartment communities, HOAs, schools, churches, and municipal properties, especially for new construction, renovations, or site upgrades.
Why is professional landscape design important for commercial properties?
Professional design helps ensure code compliance, proper drainage, safe pedestrian flow, and a consistent brand appearance. Thoughtful planning also reduces long-term maintenance costs and minimizes future repairs caused by poor layout or plant selection. Research from the University of Washington shows that office parks with professional landscape design generate 7% more in rental revenue and retail centers see a 12% increase in customer dwell time.
How does commercial landscape design differ from residential design?
Commercial landscape design focuses on scale, durability, visibility, traffic flow, and regulatory requirements. Designs must accommodate higher foot traffic, larger turf areas, stormwater management, and long-term operational efficiency.
Does commercial landscape design address drainage and stormwater?
Yes. Drainage and stormwater management are core components of commercial landscape design. Plans often incorporate grading strategies, plant selection, erosion control, and runoff direction to protect buildings, parking areas, and walkways.
Do you design landscapes to meet municipal and zoning requirements?
Yes. Commercial landscape design considers local township ordinances, zoning standards, buffer requirements, and accessibility guidelines across Lehigh, Northampton, and Bucks Counties to support smooth project approvals. Our design process follows CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) guidelines. This includes maintaining clear sightlines (the “3ft/7ft” rule for shrubs and tree canopies) to ensure security cameras have unobstructed views, which directly lowers insurance premiums for our clients.
How long does the commercial landscape design process take?
Most commercial landscape designs are completed within two to four weeks, depending on site size, complexity, and review requirements. Larger or phased developments may require additional planning time.
Can commercial landscape design be phased for budget planning?
Yes. Many commercial clients use landscape design as a phased roadmap, allowing installation to occur over multiple stages while maintaining design consistency and budget control.
What areas do you serve for commercial landscape design?
Commercial landscape design services are available throughout the Lehigh Valley, including Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, Coopersburg, Quakertown, Hellertown, and surrounding communities across Lehigh, Northampton, and Bucks counties.
How do I get started with commercial landscape design?
Property managers, developers, and business owners can request a complimentary site consultation to discuss project goals, site constraints, and operational needs. The process begins with an on-site evaluation and collaborative planning.
Why Invest in Commercial Landscape Design?
- Stronger first impressions and tenant retention

What Are Our Clients Saying About Award Services?
Award Services was professional and very knowledgable, making them super easy to work with. The patio and landscaping project they brought to life exceeded our expectations! Highly recommend!
Smith's
Would highly recommend Award Services for any landscaping job. The crew was extremely professional, responsive, and accommodating to my needs. We wanted an area to put an above ground pool for the kids in the back yard, and Award Services took care of the entire job. They were extremely communicative to ensure that I got the finished results that I wanted, and even laid down the turf I had bought for the area. Cleaned up and put back together a fence that I had removed so they could access the area! I will definitely be utilizing Award Services for any future projects!

Award Services installed landscaping and hardscaping at our home. I highly recommend them. They were prompt, courteous, friendly and easy to work with. They did everything we agreed upon and even took care of some unexpected things that came up during the process. The design and execution of our project was top notch. We will have them back in the spring to work on our backyard.
Patti Vanin
Award Services created a deck and a patio in my backyard and a sidewalk in the front of my house. Eric, a master craftsman, did a beautiful job on all of the structures. My husband and I have had dozens of positive comments from our neighbors, and one neighbor hired Award Services to build his deck after seeing ours. The owner of Award Services gave us an accurate quote, the work was completed in a timely manner, and all of the workers were polite. The craftsmanship and excellence of the two decks created by Award Services are definitely the most stunning of all the decks in my neighborhood. I highly recommend this company. Positive Responsiveness, Punctuality, Quality, Professionalism, Value
Kathleen Bartholomew
We just finished a few smaller projects with Colby and Award Servies. We appreciated the detail and thought that went into our walkway, back yard beds, tress planted, and shed pad even though they were smaller projects. The crew was on time and cleaned up after themselves. Looking forward to using them again for our backyard patio and future outdoor projects. Services Landscape installations, Walkway landscaping
