Use clinging plants, such as ivy, on vulnerable walls. This breaks up the writing space and makes it harder for the paint to reach the wall. Plant bushes in front of walls (make sure no windows or doors are too close!). This makes it harder for people to get close to the wall.

Erect fences between your business and public property. This helps people know where the boundaries are, and also makes it harder for graffiti vandals to get close enough to your walls.

If there are payphones and benches close to your business that encourage people to hang out, see about getting them removed. Find out what you can do to make graffiti vandals more visible.
