Great Landscaping Improves the Value of Your Home

Front Yard Home Lawn Flowers

Research confirms what many of us already intuitively believe. First impressions of any sort of matter in a big way. This is especially true when it comes to real estate. Without question, the first thing an interested homebuyer notices is the condition of the lawn and the overall manner in which a property is landscaped and maintained. It’s only natural for buyers to pay special attention to a home boasting an outstanding lawn. HGTV explains, “Your lawn is the first thing people see when they approach your home, and regardless about what people say about judging a book by its cover, it’s crucial to make a positive first impression. In buyers’ minds, if you’ve neglected the outside of your home, they can only imagine how bad it is on the inside…Healthy, lush lawns are always in vogue.” We couldn’t have said it better!

After all, one of the primary reasons why many individuals, couples, and families opt to buy a home instead of renting or owning a condominium, townhouse, or apartment is the ability to take advantage of everything that a well-maintained lawn offers. Enjoying a barbecue, playing lawn games, and chasing the kids around the yard are just a few reasons why a beautiful, healthy lawn appeals to a diverse array of qualified buyers who are anxious to enjoy the benefits of homeownership.

While a fabulous lawn may be the main attraction of a well-landscaped property, special attention paid to shrubbery, trees, hardscape, and other exterior features also reap substantial benefits. Who doesn’t enjoy a brick walkway, a natural stone patio with an inviting fire pit, the warmth generated by a natural canopy of trees, or a “living fence” consisting of neatly trimmed hedges?

Just think of all the ways you might enjoy a welcoming, green lawn and well-maintained property. Now think of the extra money you will make just for maintaining and enjoying your yard when you decide to move! According to a recent Michigan State University study, you can expect considerably more at the real estate closing of your home when your yard is in good shape.

Research confirms that an attractive lawn and landscape can boost a home’s value by 5% to 11%.

This is a significant increase, especially on a home valued at $300,000 or more.

So, what are you waiting for? The science behind today’s sod has made it possible to enjoy a beautiful new lawn virtually overnight.  For lawns that need a little TLC, products like Lawnifi® offer a simple solution to providing year-round health to your yard.

If the realization that a carefully cared-for yard will reap benefits both now and at the time of listing your property, now is the time to become a student of Sod University!
