First impressions are everything and if you’re hoping to sell your house this year then it’s the first impressions you’ve got to rely on to make it sell. One of the first things that prospective buyers will always notice when they tour a house is the landscaping because that’s the thing that’s going to welcome them to the property.
Whether it’s trimmed hedges or maintaining flower beds, it’s important to make sure that you have thoughtful decisions made when working on exterior home and yard renovations. You should be doing everything possible to ensure that your home is going to sell at the right price, and that means looking at landscaping renovations first and foremost. Before you start pulling out the lawn mower and the electric weed eater, you may know a local landscaping company who can help you out.
Having your garden look exactly the way you want it to look is one thing, but having it look good enough to sell the house is another. Let’s take a look at these landscaping considerations so that you can up your curb appeal and make your house sell quickly.
- Design your landscaping based on the architecture and build. Before you do any landscape renovations, you should take a look at the style of your house from the opposite side of the road. When it’s installed well, landscaping can really complement the home’s details, but you have to make sure that it matches the material of your house, the style of your house and where the. For example, if you’re standing out on the street and looking up at the house, where does your eye immediately go to? You want to make sure that the landscaping can be featured at that height. Too much landscaping can take away from the beautiful details of a naturally old house, but complimenting an older home with a few large trees and surrounding the foundation with brightly coloured flowers can make all the difference.
- Go with shape and height. When you’re planning your landscaping renovation, you need to bring in some curves and height throughout the lawn so that you can improve the curb appeal and make it look more attractive. This will help to create balance in your yard and enhance the surrounding fencing or retaining walls to make your landscape more modern. You want to separate flower beds and grass with edging and retaining walls, and you want to make sure that the landscaping itself is free of any weeds. If your roof is lower, consider smaller trees that don’t go above that roofline.
- Choose a long lasting style. You should always add plants to your garden that last in your local climate. You want to make sure that you have the right temperatures for your garden so that you’re not constantly having to dig it out and dig it out. Get in touch with local nurseries and consult with which plants work best in your region so that you can ensure that you are using plants that will last.
- Water it. To use your irrigation system to maintain that curb appeal, you need your garden to really grow, and you need it to look pretty at the same time. We don’t always have enough time to water our plants, but irrigation systems that are equipped with timers and water gauges, as well as moisture sensors can really keep your lawn looking bright and beautiful. You want that pristine look without the hassle, so installing one in your yard can give you a ton of benefits such as consistent watering, eliminating any uneven water distribution, and timed watering too.
- Think about privacy. Landscaping renovations that protect the privacy of your home are always going to be popular.If you’re looking for ways to add more privacy, landscaping gives you the seclusion that you need. There are many ways that you can do it, from trellises and gates in front of a pathway to large shrubbery around the perimeter of the property and wood lattice fences. When you install these types of walls and fences, as well as vegetation, they are great sound barriers and they keep prying eyes away from the front of the house.
- Make a statement. A landscaping renovation that’s going to help you to sell your house is making a statement through different pathways. Traditional brick inlays, curved walkways, colourful concrete and even mulch and gravel can help to create pathways that people want to walk down. You have to remember that they need to feel welcomed when they go to your house and especially if you’re looking to sell.
