Landscaping Tips to Help Sell Your Home

Having outstanding curb appeal is one of the most important factors when listing your house on the market. No matter how beautiful your interior, home buyers will be deterred if your landscaping leaves much to be desired. Here are some tips for making your lawn visually stunning and a draw for home buyers.

Do:

Care for your plants.

While many varieties of plants add property value, trees are best known for raising the price point. Make sure your trees, bushes, and flowers are trimmed and pruned. Keeping your plants under control creates a tidy landscape that is more appealing to potential buyers. Add mulch to your flowers and tree beds to keep them healthy and flourishing. Mulching adds aesthetic appeal to your landscape by adding a pop of color amidst the greenery.

Maintain your lawn. 

Maintain your grass in the same way that you care for the rest of your plants. An overgrown lawn detracts from your land value as it gives buyers the impression that your property has been neglected. It's important to stop grass from overgrowing, which can distract from the rest of your landscaping and create a messy, rugged appearance.

Don't:

Choose too many plant varieties.

Having an abundance of different plants adds color and value to your yard, but it needs to be done in a thoughtful design. Planting an array of random plants can make your landscape look cluttered and unattractive. Professional landscapers recommend planting shrubs and bushes in complementary color groups and by species to create curb appeal. 

Neglect outdoor plumbing issues. 

Be sure to fix any issues with your outdoor irrigation systems, as it's easier to have them repaired than have to explain the situation and haggle with a potential buyer. Additionally, repair any outdoor hose or sprinkler leaks. People take moisture damage seriously, and having water leaks will raise other concerns over your home, such as whether there is mold or structural damage indoors.
