The exterior of your home is the first aspect visitors and potential buyers alike see when they drive up. That’s why it’s important to introduce landscape design features that enhance curb appeal. If you’re not sure where to begin, Pasadena Gardening & Tree Service in Altadena, CA, lists a few of their favorite suggestions below.

3 Value-Enhancing Landscape Design Ideas

1. Add Lighting

Illumination serves a variety of roles. First and foremost, it creates a relaxing ambience in the yard, welcoming guests and helping everyone feel calm. Additionally, it deters would-be thieves who would prefer to break into a home under the cover of darkness. Finally, it lights up walkways and helps visitors easily find their way to and from the front door.

2. Make It Private

You’ll win points with visitors and buyers alike — and turn the property into an oasis for yourself — by making it a private space. You can do this in numerous ways: You could install a privacy fence, plant a row of thick shrubs, add a few large trees, or build a verticle wall covered in greenery.

3. Keep It Neat

Even if you don’t want to add any elaborate landscaping or hardscaping details, keeping the yard neat will go a long way towards increasing curb appeal. Make sure there are neat borders around the driveway, walkways, and gardens; trim the lawn regularly, but not too short to promote healthy growth; and add aesthetically pleasing mulch to the gardens, such as wood chips. Trim the trees regularly and, since it’s getting into the fall, rake often as well.
