1. Add color & texture

 

 

 

 

 

 

The outside of your home is the first thing buyers see. Adding color, texture and dimension to the garden beds will add attraction to your homes value. Keep in mind which plants are going into the landscape. If an area is getting full sun you don’t want to install a plant that requires mostly shade. Utilize different heights and textures to create different focal points.

2. Edging

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edging a yard can make it look well maintained and can give the illusion of lower maintenance. There are many different options to choose from such as natural, aluminum, plastic, or pavers. Edging is a cheap fix to boost curb appeal and value in a home.

3. Maximize privacy

 

 

 

 

 

 

Installing trees around your property can create the feeling of having privacy which increases home value. Aside from creating privacy trees provide shade, produce oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide.

4. Mulch

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Installing mulch can give your landscape a nice neat look to it. It looks clean and well taken care of when installed into a landscape bed. Mulch also can help to minimize weeds in a garden bed.

5. Install outdoor lighting

 

 

 

 

 

 

Adding outdoor lighting can increase the safety and security of your home. There are many different options available to help compliment your home and your plantings. Outdoor lighting will enhance your property and highlight your plants.
