Commercial Landscape Design, Installation & Maintenance
Integrated Lifecycle Approach Reduces Your Long-Term Costs by 40-50%
Most commercial property managers hire three separate companies for landscaping: one for design, another for installation, and a third for maintenance. This fragmented approach creates inefficiencies, miscommunication, and landscapes that fail to perform as intended.
Reinhart's integrated approach is different.
With 40+ years of commercial expertise, 100+ employees across three Central Illinois locations, and proven value engineering methods, we handle design, installation, and maintenance as a unified strategy-reducing your costs 40-50% while ensuring long-term performance.

The Problem with Fragmented Commercial Landscaping
What Goes Wrong:
Designer doesn't consider maintenance realities
Installer modifies design to save time/money
Maintenance crew inherits landscape they don't understand
Plants fail, hardscapes settle, costs escalate
Finger-pointing when problems arise
The Result: Commercial properties paying 40-50% more in annual maintenance costs than necessary often $8,000-$15,000 per year on a typical property. Over 10 years, that's $80,000-$150,000 in unnecessary spending.
Reinhart's Integrated Approach:
Value engineering during design phase reduces long-term costs 40-50%
Installation teams involved in design from the beginning
Maintenance crews understand designer's intent
One partner accountable for entire lifecycle
Adaptation as property needs evolve

Commercial Landscape Design
Strategic Planning That Thinks Beyond Day One
Reinhart's commercial landscape design process starts with the right questions: How will this property actually be used? What are the long-term maintenance realities? How can design reduce operational burden over time?
Value Engineering: The Reinhart Difference
Value engineering means making strategic design choices during the planning phase that dramatically reduce your ongoing maintenance requirements while preserving or even improving function and appearance.
Plant Selection
Right plant, right place species that thrive in your microclimate without constant intervention
Strategic Placement
Positioning plants where they grow to natural size without constant pruning or removal
Snow Considerations
40+ years of snow service experience informs landscape design to prevent winter problems
Irrigation Efficiency
Zones matching actual plant water needs, reducing waste and monthly bills
Hardscape Durability
Materials that maintain appearance with minimal intervention no settling or cracking
Operational Flow
Designs that accommodate deliveries, emergency access, and daily business operations
Leading the Way in Innovative Outdoor Solutions
Our diverse portfolio demonstrates our extensive capabilities for commercial properties of all shapes and sizes. Take a look at what we've done in your neighborhood.
Value Engineering Example: Large Office Park
Original design: High-maintenance ornamental beds requiring 80 hours annual maintenance, frequent replacements, constant pruning.
Value-engineered alternative: Native plantings and ornamental grasses requiring 25 hours annual maintenance, lasting 5-7 years longer, thriving without supplemental watering.
Result
69% reduction in annual maintenance hours, $12,000+ saved over five years, improved drought resistance, and better year-round visual interest.
Commercial Landscape Maintenance
Maintenance is where commercial landscapes either succeed or fail. A brilliant design, expertly installed, will deteriorate rapidly without professional ongoing care from a partner who understands the original design intent.

Autonomous Mowing
Gen 4 technology-low-power dedicated units and high-power autonomous systems
Trimming & Pruning
Professional crews focusing on high-value tasks while autonomous systems handle mowing
Bed Maintenance
Mulching, edge maintenance, seasonal plantings, and weed control
Irrigation Management
Start-up, shut-down, repairs, and ongoing system monitoring
Seasonal Services
Spring and fall clean-up, fertilization, and vegetation control
Snow Integration
Year-round partner landscape and snow services coordinated by one company
The Scale Advantage
If a crew has an emergency, we have immediate backup
Multi-site portfolio management with consistent service standards
Specialized equipment for every property type and challenge

Technology Company in the Landscaping Industry
"We're a technology company that happens to be in the landscaping industry. This isn't marketing speak, it's core to how we operate."
- Todd Reinhart, CEO
Why this matters: Fortune 500 companies and large institutional clients require complex compliance, safety certifications, and documented service verification. Our technological infrastructure makes compliance seamless.
Gen 4 Autonomous Mowing
Low-power dedicated units (solar-powered, sub-centimeter accuracy) and high-power autonomous zero-turn mowers for large commercial properties. Allows human crews to focus on high-value tasks.
GPS Tracking & Documentation
Every service vehicle is GPS-tracked. Clients receive documented proof of service completion, timestamps, and photographic evidence. Full accountability.
Drone Monitoring
Comprehensive site assessments for large commercial properties and specialized sites. Identify problem areas before they become critical, document conditions over time.
Employee Safety Monitoring
Real-time tracking ensures crew safety, improves emergency response times, and provides accountability for professional behavior standards.
Real Results: $210,000 Saved Over 5 Years
An educational campus approached Reinhart with an existing landscape design from an architectural firm. The design was aesthetically impressive but operationally problematic.
Original Design Issues
High-maintenance plants requiring specialized care
Irrigation zones not matching plant water needs
Hardscape materials prone to settling
Bed configurations complicating snow removal
Reinhart's Value Engineering
Substituted native species (50% less maintenance)
Redesigned irrigation zones (30% water savings)

Common Questions
Should design, installation, and maintenance be the same company?
Yes. When separate companies handle each phase, you lose the integration that makes landscapes perform long-term. Design decisions impact maintenance costs 40-50%. Installation teams need to understand design intent. Maintenance crews must know what the designer envisioned. One partner means clear accountability and no finger-pointing when issues arise.
How does value engineering work?
Value engineering means making strategic design choices during planning that reduce ongoing maintenance requirements by 40-50% while preserving function and appearance. This includes selecting plants suited to your site, positioning elements to minimize future issues, and designing for realistic long-term care not just installation day impact.
What makes Reinhart different from other commercial landscapers?
We bring commercial-level systems and technology to every project: GPS tracking, drone monitoring, Gen 4 autonomous mowing, 100+ employees across 3 locations for consistent service, and 40+ years of experience integrating design, installation, and maintenance as one continuous strategy. Most importantly, we reduce your costs 40-50% through value engineering.
How do you minimize disruption during installation?
We learned through decades of commercial work including McDonald's franchisees where 85% of revenue comes through the drive-thru that understanding what's critical to your operations prevents costly disruptions. We schedule work during slow periods, protect critical access points, and complete installations in phases to avoid blocking business operations.
Do you work with Fortune 500 compliance requirements?
Yes. Fortune 500 companies and large institutional clients often require complex administrative compliance through client portals, safety certifications, insurance requirements, and documented service verification. Our technological infrastructure (GPS tracking, employee safety monitoring, digital documentation) makes compliance seamless.
What areas do you serve?
Primary service areas include Bloomington, Normal, Peoria, and Champaign in Central Illinois. We have three locations providing consistent service across the region. For specialized work like solar farms (200-500 acres), we serve a three-to-five-state area.
