The appearance of your yard and landscaping is one of the biggest impacts on curb appeal. When it is time to put your property on the market, you do not want to be caught needing to spend time, energy, and money on landscaping that is far behind what it should be. Here is how you can help make sure your landscaping improves your property value.

How Your Landscaping Can Improve Your Property Value

If your landscape is unkempt and ugly, it is going to hurt the value of your property. However, cleaning up your lawn and yard and adding some key elements to your land and property can help improve curb appeal. 

Some helpful projects include:

Trees and Shrubbery: Beautiful trees and shrubbery replacing old and dying greenery can vastly improve curb appeal. 

Planting Areas: Flowers and other smaller plants provide a beautiful accent to your home and yard.

Retaining Walls and Boulder Walls: Not only do these walls prevent erosion and improve drainage, but they can also add significant beauty to your property.

Water Features: Ponds and waterfalls connect the beauty of your yard to that of the surrounding area, thus adding significant value to your home and property.

Outdoor Living Spaces: Adding quality patio pavers, fire pits, outdoor seating, outdoor kitchens, and generally making your lawn and yard a place in which your family will spend time can significantly positively impact your home’s property value.

Outdoor Lighting: Like outdoor living spaces and retaining walls, the right lighting provides both beautiful form and incredible function.
