Your yard is the first thing that a prospective buyer will see, and it will reflect on you and your neighborhood. A gorgeous landscape can add to the value of your home, bringing the value from “good” up to “excellent” in many areas. In addition, proper landscaping can improve the environment by reducing environmental pollutants, reducing the need for sewage absorption, and increasing the amount of oxygen in the surrounding air.

Landscaping doesn’t have to break the bank! Even if you are low on funds, you can incorporate beautiful small or large landscaping projects that are affordable and attractive. The money you spend will likely not be made back 100%, but will be returned in terms of enjoyment. Make sure that the money you spend on landscaping reflects your needs, desires, and personality, and enjoy your landscaping for years to come.

Plan first! Many people waste time and resources by having an incomplete plan. Consult with your local landscaper to determine a plan that meets your needs and budget and purchase materials appropriately.
