Or, it might be that you are already a restaurant owner. If so, maybe your other restaurant or restaurants have been so successful that you have decided to open yet another restaurant. Good for you! 

Do you already know how you will landscape the front of your restaurant? If not, from arranging for commercial asphalt paving services to adding the actual landscaping, here are some ideas that might help you.

Find A Commercial Asphalt Paving Contractor

As you look for a paving contractor, consider using one that focuses on commercial projects. This way, the contractor will have the experience to give you excellent counsel for your own business paving projects. For example, the contractor will be able to help you make use of every inch for parking purposes. He or she will help you to decide what kind of walkway that will lead to the restaurant's front door will be best.

Is there enough space for you to include a circular driveway in front of your restaurant? If so, the paving contractor might suggest that you not use just concrete for the surface of the circular driveway. A second material, like bricks or flagstone, might add interest to the area right in front of the entryway,

​Actual Landscaping For Your Restaurant

As you decide how to landscape the front of your restaurant, think of the kinds of foods you'll be serving. For instance, if you will serve French cuisine, you might want a very formal feeling in the landscape. Use things like topiaries to add formality and elegance to the landscape.  

Maybe you have a beach theme for your restaurant. If so, things like palm trees and decorative flamingos would be very appropriate for the landscaping. If you have a Mexican restaurant, consider having huge Mexican pots that you can fill with real or faux geraniums and other flowering plants. Other pots holding different types of cactus would be nice, too.

No matter the theme for your restaurant, a multitiered water fountain would be a great focal point for your landscaping. Think of adding statuary to the front of the restaurant, too. For example, if you have a barbecue restaurant with a Texas theme, the statue of a cowboy would likely be perfect.
