Cost Effective Landscaping Tips for Curb Appeal

Published on: August 15, 2019

The impression your home creates when seen from the road or driveway is called curb appeal. It is a vital part of your home’s value, especially when it comes time to sell. Any realtor will tell you curb appeal can make a significant difference in how quickly a home sells and how much buyers are willing pay. One cost-effective option for improving your home’s curb appeal is updating the landscaping.

The front yard of a home makes a big impression on visitors or those driving by on the road. The most important consideration is whether it is making a negative impression. A poorly kempt yard can change the entire look of a home. Simply ensuring the lawn is mowed and edged, gardens are weeded and shrubs are pruned can make a big difference. Other tips to improve curb appeal include:

  • Add color with flower beds or planters on the front porch or entrance
  • Clean sidewalks and walkways – remove weeds as needed
  • Add bark mulch around plants for a cleaner appearance
  • Trim trees and remove dead branches

Simple lawn maintenance can improve the first impression your home. You can do many of these tasks yourself or hire a landscape service. If you want to go beyond just basic maintenance, a landscaper can help you choose a few features to add focal points for improved curb appeal.

If you are selling your home or just want to improve the beauty of your home, landscaping is a quick and inexpensive option. Contact a local landscaper to discuss simple ways to enhance the curb appeal of your home, adding value to one of your most important assets.
