Spring is Blooming: Top 10 Landscaping Tips That Add Value!

by Choice Realty Group By Kelly Houston

With Spring's arrival, there's no better time to focus on landscaping—the unsung hero of real estate value. Whether you're looking to sell, buy, or simply love where you live, great landscaping can significantly boost curb appeal and even increase property value.

According to the National Association of Realtors, well-designed landscaping can add up to 10% to a home's value.

First impressions matter, and a well-kept yard can set the tone for the entire viewing experience. Ideally the time to get started cleaning up your yard is about a month before you plan on showing your house.

That should give you enough time to get everything looking just right and not leave the impression that you simply waited until the last minute to put things in order. Follow these tips for sprucing up your yard to help your home sell quickly!

1. Maintain a Healthy Lawn

A well-maintained lawn is the foundation of a beautiful landscape and contributes significantly to curb appeal.

2. Trim Shrubs and Bushes

Keeping shrubs and bushes trimmed and in good shape prevents them from looking overgrown and adds to the overall neatness of your property.

3. Add Fresh Mulch

Mulch not only enhances the appearance of garden beds but also improves the health of plants.

4. Install Landscape Lighting

Landscape lighting is a desirable feature for many homebuyers, adding both beauty and security to your property.

5. Create an Outdoor Living Space

Outdoor living areas, like patios or decks, increase the enjoyment and functionality of your property and can significantly boost its value.

6. Incorporate Water Features

Water features, such as fountains or ponds, add visual interest and create a relaxing atmosphere.

7. Plant Trees

Mature trees add color, privacy, and shade, and they can significantly increase a property's value.

8. Consider a Low-Maintenance Landscape

Many potential buyers are looking for low-maintenance landscaping, so features like irrigation systems and drought-tolerant plants can be appealing.

9. Restore Outdated Features

Repainting fences, power washing patios, and refreshing driveways can instantly enhance your property's appearance.

10. Use Timeless Designs

Opt for classic elements like trimmed hedges, colorful flower beds, and clean walkways that appeal to a broad range of buyers.

By implementing these landscaping tips, you can significantly enhance your home's curb appeal and increase its value.
