The exterior is the first thing potential buyers notice when they see your home. This will immediately create an impression on other people, and professional landscaping ensures the impression will be good. Well-planned paths, gorgeous greenery, and professional maintenance services to keep shrubs nicely trimmed can instantly help you make more when it's time to sell. Professional services can also help you boost your property value. Here's how.

Improve Actual Value

The actual value of your property instantly increases when you have a gorgeous landscape. According to HomeLight, a well-landscaped property will be worth up to 10% more than properties that are not well-landscaped. The more effort you put into your home's landscape, the higher your property value will be. For example, the more you invest in your landscaping, the higher ROI you can expect to get.

Improve Perceived Value

Potential buyers often have a perceived value of homes. A home with the amenities a buyer wants will be worth more in their eyes, even if the extras don't add to the market value of a home. Many buyers are willing to pay more for a home if they think it is well-kept. A flawlessly manicured lawn and beautiful gardens will give buyers the impression that they will not have to invest in countless repairs or improvements.

Improve Outdoor Living

Outdoor living spaces remain a hot trend in the real estate market. Homeowners can increase the square footage of their homes by adding an outdoor kitchen, fire pit, patio, or more to their property. Outdoor living areas can also drastically increase property value. After that, work with a landscaping company to plant greenery around the spaces to enhance visual appeal. Blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living is a huge selling point.

Improve Energy Efficiency

The world continues massively shifting towards eco-friendly practices, including energy-efficient upgrades. A proper landscape can help reduce energy costs. Strategically placed mature trees help create more shade, keeping your home cool during heat waves. Shrubs and bushes help create a barrier during the winter, protecting your home from harsh winds.
