Curb appeal is a big deal, and every homeowner knows that the first impression most people have of their home is how it looks from the outside. No matter how much time and effort you put into designing, cleaning, and maintaining your home, it simply won’t be seen as much as the exterior. Because of that, it’s essential that homeowners put that same amount of effort into maintaining their landscape. The problem that many homeowners face is twofold: the work that goes into maintaining a landscape is time-consuming and physically challenging, but more importantly, most homeowners “don’t know what they don’t know”. Beyond mowing and weeding, most homeowners are unaware of the steps involved in maintaining a beautiful landscape. This is where working with a professional landscape company comes in. Outsourcing your landscape maintenance may be an investment, but it’s one with a strong ROI that will keep your curb appeal high.Large modern brick home with professionally landscaped yard.

The Basics: The Professionals Get the Work Done

Just like cleaning your house, maintaining your landscaping is a job that never ends. If you let your landscaping chores slide, even for only a few days during the growing season, you can find yourself in a never-ending game of catch-up. Instead of spending your evenings and weekends relaxing, you’ll spend your “free time” mowing, mulching, weeding, planting, pruning, watering, and keeping on top of all the other tasks that go into keeping on top of the maintenance. Your time is valuable, and spending hours outside may not be how you want to spend that time. You may also find yourself spending time – and money – at landscaping supply stores to get the tools and equipment you need.

When you invest in a professional landscaping company, you know the work will get done when it needs to. The weekly maintenance will get done, the extra seasonal jobs will get done, and not only will they just get done, but they’ll be done well. Professionals have the experience and equipment to do these jobs efficiently. This benefit alone is well worth the investment for many homeowners.

Beyond the Basics: Projects that Increase Your Home’s Value

Your exterior landscaping isn’t only the first impression that increases your curb appeal. If you take the time to invest in your property, you can significantly increase the value of your home. Many homeowners invest in projects for their own enjoyment, since spending time outside with friends and family is valuable, but if you do choose to list your home at any point, there are certain projects that will give you a boost. Potential buyers love to see a well-designed and well-maintained exterior, especially one that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional for entertainment purposes. You want any potential buyer to picture themselves enjoying your property before they even set foot inside the home itself. Professionally designed landscapes with focal points can increase the value of your home substantially, because buyers are willing to pay more for a property that has been thoughtfully designed and well-maintained.

Big landscaping projects are intimidating to take on. Even something as simple as plant selection can be overwhelming for homeowners who aren’t familiar with different options, and the idea of designing a garden or installing a hardscape can be too much. But a professional landscape company understands everything that goes into these projects and can help guide you toward the projects that will have the most impact.This can be as simple as designing a garden to serve as a focal point, or as complex as creating a hardscape with landscaping features integrated into the design.

Tree Work Needs a Professional

Good trees can add significant value to your property, but only if they are healthy and well-placed. Many things can go wrong when you plant trees on your property, and making the wrong move can be an expensive mistake. A professional landscape company can work with you to determine the right kind of tree, the proper placement, and even help you make choices that will decrease your energy costs. If planting a tree in the right place can save you on heating and cooling costs, your ROI is already beginning to grow. Not only can landscape professionals help you with tree selection and placement, but they also have the experience to plant the tree correctly. They can help care for it during the first few vulnerable years, and later, will help monitor any signs of concern that, if ignored, could turn into expensive mistakes. Any tree work you want to do on your property should always be done in partnership with a landscape professional.

High-quality professional landscapers can transform your property in a way that not only enhances your enjoyment but also increases the value of your home. Landscape professionals have the right knowledge, equipment, and experience to make the right decisions and get the work done. They have the skills in design, plant selection, and maintenance practices, which enable them not only to make your home look good, but also to keep it looking good all year long. Instead of spending your valuable time struggling your way through yardwork, only to be too exhausted to enjoy the results of your hard work, you can have a landscape you can be proud of. When you are ready to make a wise investment in your property that will pay off over time, look to a landscape professional to help you get your home where you want it to be.
