Interior Foliage – Special Event Rentals Holiday Decorating – Patioscaping

Interior Foliage
Over 20 years ago Ettingers Landscaping added an interior plantscaping division to its operation to serve the needs of commercial customers who were planning on installing interior foliage plants in their new or remodeled facilities.

We have designed and installed projects as diverse as large shopping malls, commercial facilities, corporate headquarters, banks, doctor’s offices and many residential homes.

We have been asked when in this age of downsizing and cost cutting, do people still desire to use interior foliage plants in their working environment? The answer is – not all companies do! But why do others still make interior plantscaping a priority when remodeling or constructing a new facility. The answer is that these decision makers are aware of the benefits derived from enhancing the interior environment with live, green plants.

Studies have shown that plants used in interior spaces:

A. Increase employee moral, productivity and job satisfaction.

B. Function as sound absorbers.

C. Soften rigid architectural features.

D. Make large open spaces seem more inviting.

E. Clean the air by helping to reduce harmful indoor air pollutions.

F. Project an image of a healthy, well maintained business.

G. Are the least expensive method of remodeling existing spaces, giving a brand new look and feel to your office.

H. Present a positive welcoming attitude of the friendliness of your company.

Interior foliage plants and their decorative containers can be ‘mixed and matched’, moved and exchanged with little effort, thus giving a new fresh look to your interior space with little investment.

You can expand on your interior plantscaping by adding a flowering plant rotation program and with holiday decorating. Tulips at Easter, mums for Thanksgiving and Poinsettias, wreaths, garland and a decorated tree at Christmas all add to a positive environment for your employees to work in and a good first impression for your clients/customers that will also leave a long lasting positive image of your company.

If you are considering installing interior foliage plants, what services can you expect to receive from Ettinger’s Plantscapes?

First, our professional staff will study the conditions under which the plants must live and thrive. Available light, air circulation, traffic flow through the space are practical considerations. The furniture, wall and floor coverings and accessories used by your architect or yourself must be taken into consideration. The selection of containers to compliment your unique environment are as important as the plants themselves.

Our trained technicians will install and maintain on a regular basis your interior foliage plants.

Our maintenance program consists of:

• Inspect soil moisture levels and replenish as necessary
• Pruning as necessary to enhance growth
• Clean and dust leaves and containers
• Maintain nutrient levels by proper fertilizing
• Inspect for insect and disease pests
• Rotate plants as necessary

Replacement of plants that do not meet our quality standards. We guarantee every plant while under our care.

Special Event Rentals
Ettingers maintains an inventory of acclimated tropical foliage plants in our greenhouse all year long. Combined with our selection of decorative containers and our creative professional staff, we are able to make your special event a memorable and worry free experience.

Indoor or outdoor weddings, senior proms, class reunions, grand openings and other events can be made extra special with indoor and outdoor plants, water features, pergola or archway and flowering plants. We can provide decorating ideas to fit any style and budget.

Holiday Decorations
The Christmas holiday season places many demands on your time and adds stress to your life when it comes to decorating your home or office. Our professional staff can provide your home or commercial property with decorative lighting, a Christmas tree decorated with your chosen theme, wreaths, garland and poinsettias that will be thoroughly enjoyed by all. After the holiday season we can remove the decorations for you.

Patioscaping
Each year Ettingers plant thousands of annuals on residential and commercial properties. We also do a very creative job of filling hundreds of terra cotta and decorative containers with a selection of foliage and flowering plants for use on our customer’s patios and pool areas.

We collect your containers in the fall, overwinter them, plant them in the spring and deliver and place them for you each spring.

We can also install automated drip irrigation systems to water your containers each day. Our technicians can also dead-head your flowers and maintain them throughout the season.
