When most people think about increasing the value
of their home the first thing that comes to mind is interior
renovations. Things like new carpeting, kitchen cabinets, or new
appliances, but an often overlooked way to make your house value go up
is to landscape the yard.
With just a little effort you can drastically change the entire
appearance of the outside of your home. Some shrubs along the outside of
the house will give it an entirely different look, and a stone walkway
is something even a landscape novice should be able to do themselves
with a little instruction.
If your ready to make some major change how about a back yard patio
with a brick barbeque pit. This is great for entertaining and would be a
major selling point when it comes time to sell the home.
Decorative landscape also gives your home a unique quality that
isn’t found very often. Things like garden statues, water fountains,
pedestal bird baths, and stone figures can be picked up at most garden
centers and make your yard really stand out.
One of the best places to find one of a kind pieces is second hand
stores and garage sales. Old items such a copper tubs or wooden benches
that many would consider junk are very popular right now, and many
places that specialize in such item are charging hundreds or even
thousands for these things but if you’re a bargain hunter and keep an
eye out you can find some great deals.
While you can easily spend thousands of dollars landscaping your
home you don’t necessarily have to. In fact if your willing to do the
work yourself a couple hundred dollars on plants and some garden
decorations are really all you need to increases the value of you home
by up to 2%-7% .
