The Great Exterior


Curb appeal – that is what it’s all about! When it comes to increasing the market value of your home and attracting potential buyers, the landscape around the house is the icing on the cake. Not only can the landscape increase the real estate value of your home, but putting focus on curb appeal can help your home sell faster. Many older houses are overgrown with large ragged foliage that obscures the house and may provide a dark and dreary atmosphere. Some easy ideas: Trim back large plants to expose the house. Adding small accent plants around the yard can make the yard appear more groomed. If your lawn suffers from poor upkeep or bare spots, consider rock or foliage gardens to cover the affected areas.
