Creating a Serene Outdoor Haven for a
Senior Living Community

Transforming Outdoor Spaces for Senior Living Communities

Senior living landscaping plays a crucial role in enhancing comfort, accessibility, and social interaction for residents. A well-maintained outdoor space encourages movement, relaxation, and connection, promoting an overall higher quality of life.
One retirement community, however, faced significant challenges—cracked walkways, overgrown shrubs, and uncomfortable seating areas made it difficult for residents to enjoy their outdoor environment. Recognizing the need for a change, the community partnered with Steiner Lawn Care to revitalize their landscape and create a welcoming, accessible haven for their residents.

The Challenge: An Outdoor Space in Need of Renewal

The community’s aging infrastructure was limiting residents from fully enjoying their surroundings. Some of the key issues included:

❌ Uneven & Cracked Pathways – Making mobility difficult for seniors.
❌ Overgrown & Unmaintained Greenery – Creating an unkempt, uninviting space.
❌ Lack of Comfortable Seating Areas – No shaded spots for relaxation.
❌ Limited Accessibility Features – Insufficient wheelchair-friendly pathways.

The community sought a professional landscaping solution to create an outdoor space that would enhance residents’ well-being while being low-maintenance and sustainable.
