Aside from the soft (plantings) and hard (pavements) landscaping, the site elements also consist of things like benches, planters, mailboxes, fencing, (wood or metal), including privacy fencing between units and in some cases playgrounds and garbage enclosures.

It is important that these elements are properly maintained including painting repairs or even replacements in order to maintain the curb appeal of the site.  More importantly, this maintenance supports the safety of people using these elements, reducing the corporation’s risk. 

Bicycle and storage racks are increasingly common at downtown locations.  Permanent storage is often located inside the building and in a locked area to prevent theft.  Important parts of a trusted Storage System will often include security elements such as cameras and mag locks, operated by fobs or card readers, at the doors and gates.
