You don’t have to get away to be in the great outdoors. The best outside spaces are often in your own back—or front—yard.
First looks
How’s the curb appeal? Your home landscaping is the first impression and it makes a significant impact on your home value. A beautiful, well-maintained front yard is inviting and speaks to the care of the interior of a home before someone even sets foot inside.
A well-staged patio or deck makes people feel welcome to pull up a chair and relax. A simple, inexpensive outdoor rug paired with an end table and chairs offers the illusion of increased square footage.
The professional approach
Frugal homeowners are often compelled to tackle their own landscaping projects to stretch their dollars, but if you don’t have the experience, complex landscaping is better left to professionals.
So, if you’re looking at adding brick pavers, or building up your landscaping to give your yard a visually appealing effect, consult the professionals.
However, if you have a green thumb and want to save some money, planting a variety of perennials and annuals in an existing flower bed is a great low-cost way to add curb appeal and increase your home’s value.
Money talks
Setting a budget is an essential step for homeowners who want to control cost and outcomes. Landscapers will work with you to review options and can offer advice on priority projects if you’re looking to spread out developments over a period of time to fit your budget.
