Landscaping for University Campuses
Keeping Your Campus Beautiful Year-Round
Maintaining a university’s landscape takes careful planning and consistent care. At Southern Botanical, we offer comprehensive maintenance plans tailored to keep campus lawns, gardens, and green spaces thriving and looking their best. Our services include irrigation management, lawn, landscape, and tree care, fertilization, and more.
We use efficient watering methods to keep your greenery healthy while minimizing water use. Our lawn care programs include regular mowing, fertilizing, and aeration—designed to keep grass lush and vibrant while also supporting trees and shrubs.
Our tree care services are delivered by ISA Certified Arborists, ensuring that your most valuable landscape assets are preserved for posterity to enjoy.
We stay in close communication with our university clients to ensure our work not only meets but exceeds expectations. The result? Beautiful, well-kept outdoor spaces that reflect your campus values.
Expert Tree Care by Certified Arborists
Healthy, mature trees add beauty, shade, and character to any campus. Our ISA-Certified Arborists bring expert knowledge and proactive care to every tree on your property. From soil health to pest prevention, we ensure your trees are well-nourished and protected all year long.
We perform regular evaluations and customize our care plans based on local environmental conditions, helping your trees stay strong and healthy in urban environments.
Let our experts create your beautiful, sustainable outdoor environment.
Sustainability is at the heart of what we do. We work with universities to implement eco-friendly solutions like organic sustainable fertilizers, native plants, and water-wise drip irrigation systems that conserve water. We also use rainwater collection systems and install features like rain gardens and bioswales to manage stormwater and reduce runoff.
By incorporating local plants and green infrastructure, we create spaces that support biodiversity, improve air quality, and offer hands-on learning opportunities for students in environmental fields.
Boosting Campus Curb Appeal
A well-landscaped campus makes a lasting impression. Whether you’re welcoming new students or hosting alumni, clean walkways, colorful flower beds, and tidy lawns set the tone.
We specialize in adding seasonal color, perfect turf, native blooms, and fresh mulch to bring life and energy to your outdoor areas. Our clients consistently praise the visual impact of our work—and how it reflects positively on their institutions.
Custom Solutions for Established Campuses
Every campus has its own layout and style, especially when working with older buildings or unique architecture. We design landscaping plans that complement existing structures and create outdoor spaces that are both practical and attractive.
From small courtyards to large greenspaces, we tailor our work to fit your space and style. We also offer flexible maintenance options, including seasonal planting and holiday décor, to keep your campus looking its best year-round.
Creating Spaces for Students to Connect
Central plazas and outdoor gathering spots are key to a vibrant campus community. We design and build inviting social areas with comfortable seating, shade, and clear walkways—spaces that bring people together while keeping safety in mind.
Whether it’s an outdoor kitchen, a central quad, or a quiet garden, we create welcoming environments that support student life and school spirit.
