Are you looking for ways to boost your home’s value? If so, you may be wondering if garden landscaping services could be a good investment. The answer is that yes, in most cases, calling in professional landscapers can result in a property’s value increasing. Read on to find out more.
How much value does a landscaped garden add to a house?
You may be surprised to learn by how much landscaping your garden can increase the value of your home. According to a study carried out by Post Office Money in 2020, landscaping could boost its value by as much as 77%. “Making the right changes to your home can increase its market value significantly – with garden landscaping coming out on top for the most value added”, spokesperson Chrysanthy Pispinis explained.
There are a few great ways that a landscaper can add value to your property, including laying a lush, green lawn, installing a patio or decking, adding a water feature, and carrying out regular pruning, weeding, and maintenance to keep your garden looking its best. A well-kept, visually pleasing garden indicates to potential buyers that the property has been cared for. An experienced landscaper will be able to offer you expert advice on how to improve your garden with landscaping services and what work should be carried out.
Why does garden landscaping increase a home’s value?
There are several reasons that garden landscaping can raise a property’s value, including:
- Boosting kerb appeal. A well-landscaped garden at the front of your property can enhance the curb appeal of a property, making it far more visually appealing when people approach it. As it’s the first part of your home that potential buyers see, it can make a positive first impression almost right away, leading to higher buyer interest and potentially higher offers. Create an inviting entrance by making sure your lawn is lush and green, add colourful flowers, and ensure that the pathways are clear and tidy.
- Extending living space. Garden landscaping can effectively extend a property’s living space, allowing people to relax, dine and entertain outdoors, often all year round. Features like patios, decking, pergolas and even outdoor kitchens can make the space much more usable, making it more attractive to buyers.
- Privacy and tranquillity. Landscaping can provide privacy from neighbours and create a tranquil, peaceful environment. Adding trees, well-placed shrubs, and visual barriers such as fences and walls can help to make a property feel more secluded, which can be attractive to buyers. This can increase its perceived value.
