Landscaping is a great way to improve the curb appeal and value of your property. According to some experts, landscaping can increase a home’s resale value by 15-20% on average12. However, not all landscaping projects are equally beneficial, and some may even decrease the value of your home. Here are some tips to enhance the value of your property with landscaping:
- Keep your spending on outdoor and landscaping improvements in the range of 10-20% of your home’s current value1. Spending too much or too little may not give you the best return on investment.
- Choose landscaping projects that both expand living space and add low-maintenance beauty to your property1. For example, you could build a deck or patio, add a water feature, or plant trees and flowers that are native and drought-tolerant.
- Avoid landscaping projects that are geographically infeasible, seem high-maintenance, or are “too niche” for most buyers1. For instance, you may want to steer clear of pools, game courts, or exotic plants that require special care or equipment.
- Create privacy through landscaping by using fences, hedges, or trees2. This can make your property more attractive and comfortable for you and potential buyers.
- Maintain your lawn and garden regularly by watering, mowing, fertilizing, pruning, and weeding2. A well-kept yard can make a positive impression and show that you care about your home.
