Maximize Your Curb Appeal
Landscaping can make a real difference in the perceived value of your home. The National Association of Realtors estimates that houses with higher curb appeal sell for 7% more than the same house without similar landscaping. So how do you get that curb appeal? We’ll fill you in!
The size and style of your house matters. Is your house traditional or modern? Small or large? Angular or softer around the edges? These questions are an important first step to determine what type of landscaping will compliment your home the best. What color your home is will also help you decide on what type of complimentary colored plants to choose from.
Think about your local environment and seasonal weather when choosing the right landscaping. If all of your plants go dormant in the winter it can significantly lessen the appeal of your home for several months of the year. Native plants will require less maintenance and are more likely to thrive in your area.
Remember the basics when it comes to boosting curb appeal. Keep your mulch fresh and weeds away! Keep your grass looking healthy and trim. Address brown spots and turf diseases quickly and correctly.
Most landscaping for the front yard is aimed at highlighting the entryway to the house. This can be done with the right types of hardscapes – sidewalks or patios. Utilize planters by the front door and make sure the walk up to the door is free of dangerous uneven steps or overgrown plants.
