Your lawn is one of the first aspects that anyone notices about your home. Unfortunately, that’s not always a good thing. With a bit of help from a professional landscaper, however, you can spruce up your yard and increase the value of the property in the process. If you’re ready to transform your yard, here are some important tips to keep in mind.

How to Increase Property Value Through Landscaping

1. Look to Your Home for Design Direction

Work with a landscaper to ensure the additions to the property make sense in the grander design sense. Look to your home’s style to narrow down the possibilities. For example, if you have an old-fashioned country style interior design, consider a cottage-style landscape, with a white picket fence and colorful flowers. Landscaping elements that fit your home’s design will bring a much more cohesive appeal to the property than others that clash. 

2. Spruce Up the Space

One of the simplest ways of instantly improving the look of your yard is by trimming the shrubs, adding fresh mulch, or edging the grass. By taking the time to maintain even the smallest elements of the yard, you’re showing prospective buyers that you truly care about the condition of the property. If all of the smaller aspects of the yard look good, the rest of the property is most likely kept in great condition as well. It also gives a very clean and attractive appearance to the entire home.

3. Don’t Overcrowd 

The possibilities of landscape additions are exciting and almost unlimited, but cluttering your lawn with too many design elements, plants, and trees can create an undesired effect—both from an aesthetic and value standpoint. Instead of filling every inch of your yard, focus on working with your landscaper to create one of two main points of interest, such as a smaller mix of shrubs and perennials.
