As winter settles in and natural color fades from the landscape, commercial properties can still make a bold visual statement with expertly crafted winter container displays. These arrangements not only add curb appeal during the colder months but also show tenants and visitors that your property is professionally managed and visually engaging year-round. At OneSource Property Maintenance, we specialize in designing and installing winter containers that combine durability with artistry.

The Value of Seasonal Container Displays

While most annuals and perennials have finished blooming, winter container displays fill the visual void with texture, contrast, and seasonal charm. These displays:

• Enhance entrances, signage, and gathering spaces
• Support property branding with custom color palettes
• Welcome tenants, clients, and guests with visual warmth
• Show commitment to year-round property care

Well-placed containers keep landscapes lively even when turf is dormant and trees are bare.

Key Elements of a Great Winter Container

1. Evergreen Structure
Start with hardy evergreens like cedar, pine, juniper, or spruce to form the base of your arrangement. These provide essential height, shape, and long-lasting greenery throughout the season.

2. Bold Branches and Twigs
Incorporate dogwood, curly willow, or birch branches for height and drama. These elements add striking vertical accents and architectural interest.

3. Textural Fillers
Add depth with dried hydrangeas, pinecones, seed pods, or eucalyptus. These natural materials bring variety and sophistication to the design.

4. Seasonal Accents
Enhance with festive touches such as berries (real or artificial), ribbons, ornaments, and LED lights. These features highlight the holidays and make containers pop during shorter days.

5. Durable Containers
Use frost-resistant pots made from resin, metal, or treated wood. Containers should have drainage and be weighted or stabilized to withstand wind and freezing conditions.

Designing for Commercial Spaces

Winter containers must be both beautiful and practical. At OneSource, we consider several commercial-specific factors:

• Visibility: Placing displays at entrances, sidewalks, or signage areas to maximize tenant and guest impressions
• Scale: Choosing appropriate container sizes that complement buildings and outdoor structures
• Durability: Selecting plant materials and decorations that endure snow, wind, and sub-zero temperatures
• Maintenance Needs: Minimizing care requirements while preserving long-term appeal

Our team ensures that containers enhance—not overwhelm—your commercial landscape.

Customization and Seasonal Transitioning

Each commercial property has unique branding and usage needs. We tailor displays to reflect:

• Company colors or seasonal themes
• Tenant demographics or foot traffic patterns
• Upcoming events or holiday celebrations

We also plan for seamless transitions between seasons, removing winter elements in early spring and refreshing containers with new seasonal plantings as the landscape awakens.

Why Containers Matter in the Off-Season

Even when traditional landscaping goes dormant, your property doesn’t have to look bland. Winter containers:

• Provide visual continuity across the year
• Extend the usability of outdoor spaces during the holidays
• Reflect care, professionalism, and seasonal awareness
• Create memorable curb appeal that differentiates your property

These small details make a big difference in tenant satisfaction and property perception.
