When a prospective buyer pulls up to your house, it’s your yard that greets them. Don’t get off track, then, in your outdoor efforts. Here are a few landscaping things not to do.
4 Landscaping Mistakes to stay clear of
1. Ignore maintenance
Many people love the thought of a beautifully landscaped yard, but they aren’t willing to put in the work to maintain it. Make sure that any updates you will be making won’t require an intimidating amount of upkeep for buyers.
2. Forget that seasons change
When planning your landscape improvements, remember to include appealing elements for each and every season and not just a yard packed with flowers which will wither in September. Evergreens add color through the winter, deciduous trees will flower in spring and turn color in autumn, and annual and perennial beds can bloom with color in the warmer months.
3. Neglect growth
Keep your trimmers sharp. Overgrown shrubs and trees can make your house look rundown. And a well-edged lawn suggests that the remainder of the property is as well-maintained as the yard.
4. Let clutter sprout
Kids’ toys, athletic equipment and excessive lawn furniture can ruin the effect of even the most well thought-out landscaping. Keep it neat.
