Does Landscaping Increase Your Property Value?

Your house is more than just the place you live. If you’re like most people, it represents the biggest investment of your life. Just like any other type of investment, you want to get the most out of it. When you eventually decide to sell it one day, you want to get the most money for it possible. If you plan to pass it on to your family after you pass away, you want it to be a welcomed inheritance that can benefit their lifestyle and not something to “deal with.” You do this by taking care of it. You don’t let it just fall into disrepair, of course. Beyond that, there are some things you can do to make your home worth more. This is known as increasing your property value. Is hiring a landscaping company one of these?

Yes! To fully understand why professional landscaping is so important, one must understand “curb appeal.” Essentially, this real estate term describes the attractiveness of a property for sale and its surroundings when viewed from the street. Curb appeal is what gives homebuyers their first impression of a property before they even step inside. The aesthetic look of a home’s exterior can tell what someone can expect to find on the other side of the front door. A big part of this is the yard. Your yard is the first impression potential buyers get of your home. This is why it’s important to have an attractive one.

If someone pulls up to your house for the first time and sees a yard that hasn’t been mowed in a few weeks, a tree growing out of control over the roof and porch, dead flowers in what used to be a flower bed, and patches of burnt and dead grass, what do you think they will imagine the inside of your home to be like? Probably not well cared for. Even if the inside of your home is clean and immaculately cared for, the outside tells people otherwise. In fact, most house shoppers will probably never even give your home a chance to wow them because they’ll be so turned off by the yard.

Whether you plan to sell your home this month, this year, or just someday, keeping your yard looking its best is the easiest way to improve your property value. LandPro Landscaping is here to help!
