The landscaping, or lack thereof, can make or break the sale of a house. Having the proper curb appeal will add more value to your home, and have the “pull” that people look for when looking for a home. With a great landscape design, incorporating the right style and the right amount of care, can easily help increase your home’s worth. Here are a few ideas on how to make your landscaping stand out from the others, to help you get the sale.
- 1. Have a Plan: Planning out your landscape design ensures the view flows nicely and stays within budget. Mountain Road Landscaping can help create a design that works with whatever drainage problems, sun & shade exposure, and anything else your land has to offer without wearing out your budget.
- 2. Consider Adding A Tree: Trees increase the value of your home by about 10 to 15%. They provide shady spots making the yard more refreshing and more enjoyable. Trees also can be a stress reliever for the occupants of the house.
- 3. Stick With A Style: Don’t bounce between styles when it comes to your landscape and make sure it will look beautiful with your home. It needs to have a natural flow no matter where you’re looking in the yard.
- 4. Keep It Well-Manicured: Keep your grass short and looking well maintained. Seeing a well-manicured lawn with crisp edges where you can see a distinct line between the yard and the driveway, sidewalk, etc., gives the illusion of low maintenance. It also shows how well the house has been taken care of.
- 5. Make It Colorful: Don’t be afraid to add color and depth to your landscape. Think about the aroma of specific plants as well. The front and back of your house can smell like a peaceful meadow, and some flowers attract butterflies and birds.
