When deciding to sell your home, ONE of the first things you’re advised to do is stage it! Clean it up to show just how much beauty your home has to offer a potential buyer. With doing this, you can also add value to your newly listed residence, and it doesn’t have to break the bank! Keep reading to find out ‘Six Sure Ways to Increase Your Property Value With Landscaping!’
Stepping Stones
This easy option will instantly give off a polished & trimmed appearance to any home. This option is more cost-effective than opting for a full side walkway!
Decorative Pebbles, Mulch & Sod
Creating a landscape that is clean, edged, and put together, shows that you have maintained your home. This is a straightforward way to increase the value in the eyes of potential buyers.
Outdoor Fire Pits
This is one way to create luxury, and not spend an arm or a leg. Unlike a pool, hot tub or large outdoor kitchen, this option is cheaper to build, less expensive to maintain and creates a warm and gorgeous social space outside.
Pops of Colour!
It has been shown that adding pops of colour to your landscape increases the value of it. It can be as simple as a red shrub, or even the colours you use to stage it (i.e. pillows!) We have also read, even a red door!
Trees, Trees, and More Trees
Unlike extensive, lush gardens, that can sometimes be overwhelming to future buyers, and in return, turn certain buyers away, trees require almost no work! They provide shade in summer and block gusty winds in the winter. If large trees aren’t your style, try picking columnar tree varieties, that can also ensure privacy from your neighbours.
Landscape Lighting
There isn’t much elaboration required for this one! Adding landscape lighting creates a luxurious look that allows you to enjoy your backyard hours after the sun sets. Not to mention, it adds functionality and aesthetic value, which is a HUGE bonus when selling your home.
