A quality landscaping design that makes your property more useful and aesthetically pleasing can add significant value. According to Bankrate, a good landscaping design installed properly and well-maintained can improve your property’s value by as much as 20%. Instead of taking on all the hard work yourself, you can hire a good local landscaping service to design and install a great landscaping plan for your property. Here’s how the service could increase your property’s value.

Adding an Outdoor Living Space

It's always a great idea to create a living space outside your home. You could add an outdoor kitchen and fire pit to make it more functional and fun to use. A landscaping service can use concrete or brick to create a decorative and highly functional paver installation that looks and works great. The service can also maintain your outdoor area and install walkways to connect it with other parts of your home. All of these elements add up to a huge boost in your home's value. Prospective buyers will be amazed by all your yard has to offer!

Reshaping the Landscape With Retaining Walls

Retaining walls are especially useful design elements that use hard materials to hold back the soil so your property will retain its shape. A landscaping contractor can remove soil and build one or more retaining walls that create more space for things like a pool deck, house deck, or patio, adding even more value to your home. Building retaining walls also helps prevent soil erosion and can improve drainage. A retaining wall has many purposes and gives you many more options for improving your landscape and your home’s value.

Installing Decorative Plants and Landscaping Elements

This is one of the simplest ways to boost your home's curb appeal for added value. A flower garden adds beauty to your property and can create many great scents. You also can have trees planted in strategic locations to provide more shade for your home during the hot summer months. Shrubs, hedges, and other plants can help make your property look better and create a natural privacy screen that protects your privacy. If you ever want to sell, buyers will love having these features bundled in!
