Boost Your Property Value with Landscaping
Does landscaping increase property value? The answer is a resounding yes!
First impressions matter, especially when it comes to real estate and the curb appeal of your property. While interior decor can go in and out of style, proper landscaping of a home can be timeless, growing and maturing every year to create a beautiful environment.
If you're ready to boost your property value, here are a few suggestions on how to make it happen:
Maintain Your Lawn
Start with the basics. A well—maintained lawn can say a lot about a home. If people see that the outdoor area is being well taken care of, they are more likely to believe the interior is as well.
A few simple ways to maintain your lawn and give it some TLC include:
- Watering lawn and plants regularly
- Mowing your grass
- Fertilizing, aerating, and over seeding
- Keeping your yard free of invasive weeds
Plant Trees
You can't go wrong with trees. They provide plenty of natural benefits and they just have a way of making a house look like a home.
A yard with trees can provide ample shade coverage, perfect for the hot Clayton, NC summers when you want to spend time outside without overheating. Strategic location and coverage can also help lower the cooling costs of a home.
Trees also help reduce noise and increase privacy — perfect for creating a peaceful haven in busy, populated neighborhoods.
Have a Plan
The design of your lawn, trees, plants, and walkways should be planned! A well thought out, cohesive design especially in your front yard is key to first impressions. A disorganized design or poor landscape maintenance can turn potential buyers away. Well—designed plant beds or naturalized areas will add seasonal variety and color to your yard year-round.
Remember, a landscape with a mature, healthy lawn, trees and plants will always add value to your property and convey to potential buyers that it is well maintained.
Even if you're not looking to put your home on the market any time soon, investing in proper lawn and landscape care now can have a significant ROI when it's time to sell. Plus, your landscaping will look fantastic!
