How Landscaping Adds Value To Your Home

Good Landscaping Adds Value

Doing some simple DIY landscaping to your outdoor area and garden can really increase the appeal of your home. Or hire a professional for larger projects and get the benefit of their design ideas, too.

It will help you to enjoy your home much more, and assist in getting a higher price if you decide to sell.

Landscaping does not need to cost the earth, but does require you to do some planning and hands on work to achieve great results.

Simple Landscaping & Gardening Ideas

Some of the simple landscaping tasks you may consider doing include:

Mow and edge your lawn
Trim trees and bushes, or replacing them if necessary
Plant trees and shrubs to hide less appealing areas around your home
Weed and mulch
Plant low maintenance waterwise plants including natives
Install raised veggie gardens add to the charm (and provide organic food as well)
Add small retaining timbers or materials to separate parts of the garden

Bigger Landscaping Projects

Create an outdoor seating area
Add a firepit with seating around it (away from main building)
Use combinations of different surfaces such as mulch, grass, paving and gravel to create different zones
Add retaining walls to step down slopes and create different zones
Build a patio and entertaining area
Create paths through the garden
Install outdoor blinds so you can enjoy your garden in any weather

Where possible using recycled brick or surplus building materials to create these areas will help save you money on landscaping costs, yet still make the area look inviting as long as it’s done well.

The added value isn’t just in the actual materials used but the way the area can be enjoyed. People pay a premium for well designed useful spaces and garden areas.
