The landscape of your house is the first thing a buyer would notice, and having an attractive one will increase your home value by at least 5 to 11 percent! Here are some tips to get you started if you don’t know how to make your home’s landscape a valuable asset.
Tip #1
Blend the landscape into your home’s design Your landscape should complement your house. A Japanese garden or a Victorian-style landscape will look out of place in a home that has a modern and opulent appearance. They should always match to make everything look tidy and appealing.
Tip #2
Design with a plan in mind You must plan first before you start designing your landscape. In light of this, you must conduct in-depth study to determine the ideal flowers, plants, or trees to use in your yard. Do not overcrowd them, especially with the ones that require a lot of maintenance.
Tip #3
Establish seasonal balance Make your landscape season-friendly all year round! Although buyers might come in just one season – especially during summer – it’s still good to give them a glimpse of how it would look when seasons change.
Tip #4
Plant trees Planting trees in your home will not just help you lower the cost of air-conditioning since it’s been made aware that its shades keep the homes cooler, but it could also help the environment cut down on pollution. Trees are also known to be a good stress reliever. Nothing compares to spending some alone time reading a nice book under a tree.
Tip #5
Edging your lawn A well-trimmed lawn will give prospective buyers the idea that you prioritize maintaining the property on the inside as much as the outside.
