A beautifully landscaped home can make the difference between your home selling and a homebuyer choosing another more appealing property. Studies show that homebuyers make up their minds about a home within moments of seeing it. Curb appeal is extremely important! Another strong trend that helps to sell a home is upgraded outdoor living spaces such as an outdoor kitchen, patio cover or pergola, deck, large paver or natural stone patio, fire pit, water feature or even a sprinkler system. According to the National Association of Realtors and the National Association of Landscape Professionals, "an overall landscape upgrade, new patio, new deck, and softscape upgrade all rendered roughly 100% in cost recovery."
