Did you know that landscaping can increase your home’s value by 20%?



It can be easy to forget your landscaping when you’re busy upgrading your home’s interior, but landscaping is a critical part of the home-selling puzzle. 

In fact, landscaping is one of the few land improvements you can make that immediately adds value to your home. Even if you don’t intend to sell your home, sprucing up the landscaping gives it a more satisfying and welcoming look. 

Your landscaping can also say a lot about your home’s interior. 

If a visitor or a potential buyer sees an overgrown shrub that needs attention, there’s a little to stop them from thinking the interior is just as untidy. 

So, if you’re looking for a place to start with home improvement, landscaping might just be the ticket. Spruce up your home’s exterior with these easy landscaping ideas.

1. Add a Fence to Your Backyard

Installing a garden fence is perhaps the most underrated yet one of the easiest and most impactful ways to boost a home’s curb appeal. 

For instance, if you’re passionate about gardening and spend a lot of time nurturing plants and flowers, installing a fence will help protect it from pests. And that’s not all; fencing offers many benefits to an outdoor space. Here are a few of them.

• Improved aesthetics – A fence can improve the aesthetic value of a property. A visually-appealing fence will add a sense of structure to the outdoor space.
• Fencing can protect your landscaping, especially if you live in an area prone to high winds or heavy rains
• Fencing your yard can help eliminate unsightly views
• Fencing can improve your home’s security

More often than not, many Palisade Fence Co. customers are building quality redwood, cedar, and iron fences out of necessity. Be it for improved security or protection from pests; a backyard fence is a must-have for your property. 

2. Plant Some Perennials

The thing with perennials is that you plant them once, but they bloom every year. And while annuals (plants that bloom once) can just be as beautiful, planting perennials means you don’t have to work on your garden every time spring rolls back around. 

For the best results, opt for natural perennial ground covers. 

These low-maintenance plants not only look good but also bring along a variety of beneficial properties for your landscape. And because perennials remain in the soil for many years, the root system helps improve the soil structure. 

3. Add Flower beds Around Trees

The area around the stand-alone trees provides an attractive space to add more color and uniqueness to your front-of-house landscaping. If you have many stand-alone trees, take advantage of this space by filling it with decorative flowers. 

You could dig out circles of grass around the tree trunks, mulch them, and fill them with flowers. When choosing flowers for this project, make sure to plant flowers that match or work well with other species of flowers you have in the front yard. The idea is to ensure the colors won’t crush with what you already have around your house. 

4. Invest in Outdoor Art Work

If your outdoor needs a little sparkle, consider an ornament or some artwork. A yard sculpture, a stone garden sphere, or a set of quality, hand-crafted wind chimes will do the trick, adding another level of creativity to your landscaping. 

You could even hang a piece of outdoor artwork on one of your exterior walls, especially one that borders your patio. 

Wrapping Up

If done right, landscaping can bring massive changes to your home. It can enhance the overall appearance of your home, giving it an aesthetic appeal that will attract buyers and passers-by. Most importantly, landscaping can boost your home’s value. 

And the best part; it doesn’t have to cost you a fortune. 

You don’t even need an architectural degree to create an appealing outdoor space. With a little bit of effort and a willingness to get your hands in the dirt, you can create an inviting outdoor space without spending a dime.
