Frequently asked questions.
Answers stay focused on scope and operational planning.
Can maintenance begin on an existing installation you did not install?
Yes. Most takeovers begin with stabilization priorities and a realistic replacement plan before regular cadence.
How do you define replacement expectations?
Replacement standards are tied to visibility and operating needs so stakeholders know when intervention happens.
Commercial plant maintenance in New York
New York is home. Interior Foliage Design has been family-run and based here since 1975, and The Foliage Co provides recurring plant maintenance for offices, hotels, retail, residences and event spaces across SoHo, Flatiron, Midtown, Tribeca and Hudson Yards.
Clients include property managers, facilities directors and hospitality operators responsible for Class A offices, hotel lobbies, retail flagships, multifamily amenities and installed botanical programs.
What recurring care covers
The visual result depends on care cadence, replacements, pest prevention, pruning and access planning. Each site has a set visit schedule and a consistent standard.
- Watering, cleaning, pruning and grooming
- Pest prevention and early treatment
- Plant replacement plans
- Plant health reporting for facilities teams
- Seasonal refreshes for lobbies and public rooms
Care that fits New York buildings
Maintenance in New York runs on building rules. Visits are scheduled around after-hours windows, freight elevator rules, security desks and union building coordination, and certificates of insurance are arranged ahead of time. In brand-sensitive public rooms, such as hotel lobbies and retail flagships, care visits are quick, quiet and clean.
Low winter light in lobbies and deep floor plates slows plant growth, so cadence and watering are adjusted through the year. Winter lobby refreshes and holiday decor compete for the same windows, so maintenance schedules are planned around them.
Taking over an existing program
Many New York clients come to us with plants another company installed. A maintenance takeover starts with a walk-through of every plant, container and location, then a plan for what to keep, what to replace and how often to visit. Containers are checked too, since a cracked or undersized planter can be the real reason a plant keeps failing. Because we are based in New York, the same team that reviews the site manages the visits.
Installation and event projects start at $10,000. Send us your site details to start a maintenance review.
