Landscaping Advice

Landscaping, and curb appeal can add as much as 10% to the selling price of a home.  Below are some key points to consider when working to enhance the landscaping of your project.

1. Focus on creating a nice, green lawn.
2. Consider low maintenance landscaping such as plants that do not need much attention or fake grass in certain select heavily used areas.
3. Make sure the house is always the centerpiece, not the landscaping.
4. Focus on having a warm and inviting entry into the house.
5. Add outdoor lighting.
