Much has been said about how home renovation can raise a home’s resale price. However, most articles tend to focus on the bathroom and kitchen, while neglecting the exterior of the home. Landscaping is one area of home renovation where smart and strategic spending can produce some of the highest returns on each dollar spent improving the home.
Landscaping’s importance lies in its contribution to the beholder’s initial impression. Good initial impressions serve two purposes. First, it serves to stir up interest, and thus bring more potential customers to see the home. Second, it sets the right tone for the rest of the tour through the home. Better still for homeowners, improving the landscaping tends to be simpler and more affordable than other areas of the home.
For best results, homeowners should consult experts because mishandled landscaping efforts can cause serious problems. Still, there are some simple things that are useful for most homes out there. For example, homeowners can repaint their homes’ exteriors, and touch up the front door. However, more extensive renovations include replacing old siding, adding porches, replacing roofs and installing insulated windows. Overall, homeowners should focus their landscaping efforts on changes that possess the most visual impact because these are the effective in getting the right message across.
