Landscaping Can Increate Your Property Value

A dedicated regime of professional Landscaping is more than just having the prettiest lawn on the block; it's also a simple but essential means of protecting and increasing the value of your home investment. Quality landscaping can add tens of thousands of dollars to your property value in a way that few other home improvements can. Most additions and improvements add immediate value but begin to depreciate once they're completed, while landscaping increases in value as plants grow and thrive. 


Curb Appeal

First impressions (curb appeal) are critical in buyer interest, retention, and perceived value when selling a home. When they pull up to your property, the first thing a potential buyer sees is your home's exterior, lawn, and Landscaping. A beautiful greenspace makes your property instantly more desirable. Still, it can also be a subliminal indication of how well the house and the rest of the property have been cared for. A professionally maintained landscape can increase your buyer's confidence in their investment. 


Environmental Benefits

Healthy plants capture carbon from the air and release the oxygen we breathe. In urban areas, or properties close to industrial facilities or highways, trees and plants also catch particulates and other pollutants, effectively filtering and helping to clean the air.


Also, the root systems of plants and trees allow for 20 times higher water absorption than tilled soil. This means that areas with healthy lawns, trees, and plants are much less likely to experience soil erosion, flash flooding, or areas of standing water after heavy rains.


Finally, adequately maintained (mown, pruned, and trimmed) hedges, shrubs, and ornamentals, especially when combined with well-placed hardscaping, require significantly less water to maintain than those allowed to grow out of control. This is especially important in areas that experience seasonal droughts or water shortages, saving you money on excess water consumption. 


Peace of Mind

We know that the environment we surround ourselves with can positively or negatively affect our peace of mind, mental, and even physical health. An aesthetically pleasing property creates a peaceful, relaxing environment and can reduce the stress and worry over the future of our home investment.
