Landscaping and real estate

Curb Appeal

First impressions are lasting impressions. Your front yard is the first and last thing a prospective buyer sees. Make sure they arrive and leave with a positive view.

A single specimen plant, a shrub, for example, can create a favourable impression, when properly selected.

Landscaping Tips

add value to your property

Landscaping your front yard can increase your property's value by up to 15 per cent.

The first question you need to answer before beginning a front yard landscaping project is how long to you plan to live in this home?

Is it a starter home? Are you looking for a quick resale or is there where you and your family will live permanently?

The answers to these questions can determine your approach.

If you are settling in for the long run then ask yourself this: How do we use the front yard? BBQs and other family and friends get-togethers usually take place out back. The back yard is where the children play.

The front yard is frequently for display. It is the face you show the neighbours and others who drive and walk by.

If you are planning to sell, the front yard is what prospective buyers see first. First impressions are lasting impressions. What the buyers see as they drive up will influence how they view the interior.

Create a good first impression.

Now before you create your landscaping plan you need to decide the following:

How much sun and shade does the yard receive. The answer will determine your plant choices. The right plant, right place philosophy is a good guide to succesfull landscaping.

How much time to you have for maintenance? Do you enjoy cutting the lawn? If not consider reducing the amount of space that you devote to lawn. Replace grass with a rock garden , shrub or tree.

Do you want to have a different effect each spring and summer? Annuals allow you to change the look each year and provide colour throughout the seasons.

Are you interested in a naturalized look? Then native plants are what you need. What grows where you live? visit a local nursery and talk with the experts.

Is fragrance an element you wish to include? Many herbs add beauty and fragrance to your garden. A rsoe bush or two may be just what you need. Buy quality.

How much time do you have to tend to the garden? If your free time is at a premium then low maintenance perennials may be the answer.
