Ways To Improve the Curb Appeal of Your Property

March 19, 2020 by Jennifer Noyes

If you’ve decided to put your home on the market, you want to make the entire property as attractive as possible. To get more interested buyers, you need a landscape design to make your yard stand out. You don’t necessarily have to spend a bunch of money to achieve this goal. A few simple changes or additions can make a world of difference and get more inquiries. 


Revive the Flowerbed

If you’ve neglected your front-yard flowerbed, now is the perfect time to get a fresh start. Start by weeding the area and clearing it of unwanted items. Next, add some planting soil and put in some colorful flowers. Look for perennials and other flowers that complement your yard. Add some dark mulch as a nice finishing touch. If you don’t have a flowerbed in the front yard, carve out a small chunk of space by your porch or along the sides of the yard. 


Put in Some Plants

In addition to flowers, flourishing plants can add an inviting, charming appeal to any home. Think about options that catch the eye throughout the year. You can find plants that will grow throughout much of the year. You can also put plants in planter boxes or hang them by your door or under an awning. 


Light it Up

Your dark property will look pretty lonely if you don’t have good lighting. Lights not only improve your property’s curb appeal but add a measure of security as well. Consider placing low-voltage lights near your flowerbed or along the driveway or porch. There are some reliable LED options available as well. 


Water Features

If you want to get ambitious, you can turn some heads with a fountain in the front yard. A backyard pond surrounding by plants can be a relaxing spot to unwind at the end of the day.


If you’re struggling to find the right landscape design, think about some of these ideas. A professional can help you decide which ones make the most sense.
