Along with the beautiful weather comes the start of yard maintenance. With the start of the garden and landscaping season well underway, it is important to consider the landscaping of your home – especially if you are considering a move in the near future.

Landscaping that has been properly installed and well maintained has been shown to increase a home’s value and achieve a 100-200% return on investment at resale*. A well maintained and attractive exterior is so vital when selling a home, as the exterior is the first impression that is made on a potential buyer. The curb appeal of your home can make the difference of a buyer getting out of their car, or continuing on to the next property.

Landscaping is not only for people looking to sell their home in the near future. It is also a very valuable tool for those who are looking to remain in their home in the future. As mentioned in our interactive gardening seminar held on May 7th and hosted by HGTV’s Charlie Dobbin, landscaping can also improve the efficiency of your home & impact your monthly bills. By choosing the correct placement on your property for a tree, the shading or insulation provided can cut back on your heating costs in the winter and your air conditioning costs in the summer. We also can’t forget the enjoyment value that a beautiful garden brings.
