How To Increase Your Home's Value By Remodeling It

Did you know you can increase your home’s value anywhere from 5-12% just by rejuvenating your landscape? We all know how important first impressions are.

Consider investing in a landscape design. Having a clear plan and direction for installation will prevent headaches down the road. Your home and landscape should have a cohesive theme. It’s also important not to overlook the individual needs of each plant: water, sun requirements, and correct spacing. It is well worth the investment to hire a professional when planning out your planting design. As Danish-American landscape architect Jens Jensen said “Every plant has its fitness and must be placed in its proper surroundings so as to bring out its full beauty. Therein lies the art of landscaping.” – Jens Jensen

If you are thinking of selling a few years down the road it is never too early to start your landscape renovations. Plants can take several years to mature. Having a yard that is lush and full of thriving established plants can be extremely appealing and comforting to potential buyers. 

You don’t need to go overboard with the planting. Even adding one large focal tree can change the entire mood of your home as well as making a distinctive land marker setting your home apart from your neighbors.

When planning your landscape renovations don’t overlook the hardscape items as well. Refurbishing a deck, or replacing crack and damaged pathways and driveways will drastically increase the value of your home.
