INSTANT CURB APPEAL. Increase the value of your home without hiring a landscape designer. Let’s face it, in these challenging economic times we need to use this time wisely to maximize value of your home.

 

Multiple studies have shown the increasing importance of curb appeal in selling a home, especially in a competitive market.

According to the Real Estate Agent Community Trends survey, commissioned by JELD-WEN Windows & Doors. Out of about 500 realtors polled, 82 percent agreed that buyers unimpressed with a home’s exterior will not want to look inside. The results also found that 90 percent of respondents agree that a sale depends on first impressions of the front entry, while 91 percent said that the home’s exterior is just as important as what is inside.

 

Another study by The Florida Nursery Growers and Landscape Association compiled the following property value statistics:

 

  • Landscaping can increase the resale value of a property by as much as 14%
  • The sale of a property can increase by as much as six weeks
  • A landscaped patio can raise property values by 12.4%
  • A landscaped curb can increase property value by 4.4% and hedges can add 3.6%

 

As our economy starts to improve and home sales increase, you will be ahead of the game!

 

Create a stunning DIY lighted, landscape design using pre-fab, curved raised garden bed kits, which contains everything you need to transform your empty yard into a stunning garden oasis, in less than an hour. You can have your landscape done before your realtor comes over to appraise your home.

 

A great choice for raised garden bed kits are called Landscape In-A-Box. They are beautifully designed all-inclusive, eco-friendly, curved raised garden bed kits. They come in different sizes and shapes to add variety to your yard or garden. They appeal to the “green” buyer as well. Unlike pressure treated wood, these composite wood timbers do not leach toxins into the soil. They are easy to install with just a screwdriver and a mallet, and even include an optional solar lighting kit.

  1. that’s awesome gardening idea! wish i could do it too

  2. Very fabulous! I like the design of it for gardening purposes.

  3. Every real estate agent I have ever used has told me that every dollar spent in fixing up your landscaping will return $2 (at least) when it’s time to sell your home. It makes sense too - the very first thing any prospective buyer will see when coming to view your home is the outside. So it’s wise to try and make a good first impression. If you pull up to a home that has weeds growing all over the front of the house, they will not be entering the home in a positive frame of mind.

  4. First through the eyes and then through the ears my old band director used to say. First impressions really matter.

  5. Great post. I kind of agree but only in certain instances.

  7. Excellent read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little research on that. And he actually bought me lunch because I found it for him smile So let me rephrase that: Thanks for lunch!

  8. Hey - nice blog, just looking around some blogs, seems a pretty nice platform you are using. I’m currently using Wordpress for a few of my sites but looking to change one of them over to a platform similar to yours as a trial run. Anything in particular you would recommend about it?

  9. There is plain a lot for me to discover outside of my books. Thanks for the wonderful read,
