Landscaping can add tens of thousands of dollars to the value of your property. In fact, it is one of the few home improvements you can make that not only adds value immediately, but also increases in value as the years go by. Plants grow as the years go by, Fireplaces are great for outdoor entertainment and pools can give you a great time and add substantial value.
Landscaping Improves a Home's Value
A well-landscaped home has a significant price advantage over a home with no landscaping. This advantage ranges from 5 percent to 13 percent depending on the type of landscaping and the home's original value. That translates into an extra $15,000 to $39,000 in value on a $300,000 home. There's more to landscaping than sticking some flowers and a couple shrubs in the ground, however. Overall design and planning is important aspect for added value.
Outdoor Lighting. Outdoor lighting tops the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB)’s list of most desirable outdoor features every year. Beyond just making your home look better at night, there are numerous benefits to adding walk-way or garden lights along your property- they can protect against slip and falls and helps deter burglaries- because of this, some insurance companies even offer discounts to properties with outdoor lighting.
Walkways. Walkways help welcome guests to your door, and keep them from smushing through wet grass when it’s raining. More importantly, however, adding something like a simple stepping-stone path can do wonders for improving curb appeal.
