Let's talk about investing in the landscape of your home.

We’re heading into the spring season, making now a great time to think about investing in your outdoor space.

It seems to be, when most homeowners think of investing in their home; they are thinking of indoor projects. Remodeling the bathroom, updating the kitchen, etc. Which is not a bad thing; we live inside our homes, right? When indoor spaces are in need of some TLC, we understand that those are important areas of your home.

Outdoor Living Space

But, what about your outdoor space? Do you enjoy the time spent in your backyard? Or are there areas that could benefit from some renovation?

The American Society of Landscape Architects recommends that 10 to 20 percent of your home’s value should be budgeted for landscape. This rule of thumb is especially important if you are thinking of selling your home as an updated landscape is one of the best improvements you can make to increase the resell value.

Things to Think About

How do you like use your outdoor space? If you could, would you plant produce in a garden? What is your favorite fresh herbs to cook with? Are mosquitoes making it challenging to be outside for long periods of time? Do you have young children that use a playground or are you in a stage where you’re wanting more formal entertaining?

Communicating with your landscape professionals about what you are wanting to get out of your backyard helps let them know what landscape and hardscape renovations will best suit your needs and help your budget go further.
