Hello World! Welcome Friends! Did you know the curb appeal of a house plays a vital role in closing a sale? Your property might have quite a few impressive features, but unfortunately, buyers do judge a book by its cover. When it comes to properties, the exterior matters just as much as the interior.
This implies that a dull, unkempt garden and landscaping will impact how buyers view your property. A considerable amount of space is not enough to sway buyers into a bidding war. If you want to secure the top price for your property, it’s time to commit to a garden transformation.
Let’s take a look at a few ways you can enhance your garden’s visual appeal.
Get Cleaning
The backyard, especially garden sheds, quickly become an unintentional storage space. If that’s the case, then discard all the unnecessary items occupying your shed to highlight its storage potential.
Next up is the actual garden area. Start raking up leaves and pulling out weeds and dying plants.
Mowing and Pruning
Once you’ve cleaned up the area, it’s grooming time. Mow the grass to a neat height. Furthermore, tidy it up by pruning trees and shrubs. Get a professional landscaper involved if you’re not blessed with green fingers.
Merely cleaning and grooming can make a world of difference!
Plant Fresh Grass and Flora
Dried up, patchy lawns can instantly reduce the charm of your house. Replant grass and water generously to maintain its greenery.
Any garden would be incomplete without blooming flora. Planting flowers is an easy and cheap way to make a garden vibrant and lively.
Replace Gates & Fences
Rickety, rusted gates are more horror than heavenly. If you want to upsell your house, it’s always a good idea to replace any old gates and fences. Functional gates and sturdy fences add to the aesthetics while also improving privacy.
For bespoke metal gates and railings, consult the experts at RS Engineering.
Creatively Repot Plants
Even if you don’t have any gardening skills whatsoever, you can spruce up your garden with the help of some unique plant pots. Discard boring, broken clay pots and replant plants in vibrant containers. You can use everything from tires, old rubber boots and chipped crockery for a lovely garden area. It’s simple to do and probably won’t cost you a penny.
Install Seating
You can emphasize the versatility of your garden area by installing a seating space. Garden swings and benches are some classic options. If you have enough space, take it up a notch by creating a coffee seating or an outdoor dining area. Make your garden a space that can be used for personal recreation or entertaining guests.
Provide Shade
Further expanding on the previous point, equip your garden with adequate shade for sitting and relaxing. Whether it’s sunny or heavily pouring, it should be accessible all year round.
Light it Up
Lack of proper lighting can quickly turn a garden from charming to creepy. Make the best of readily available hanging garden lights and fairy lights. You can create a canopy of twinkling lights or wrap them around trees and fences, the possibilities are endless. It’s an affordable step that will revamp the area right away.
Repaint
Peeling and chipped off paint looks shabby. Infuse new life into your fencing, sheds, garden partition and so on with a fresh coat of paint. Also, you can add depth to a small space by repainting with a bold, contrasting color.
Charming additions
Depending on your budget and property style, adding garden ornaments and accessories will give a delightful touch. You can start small with a bird feeder or take it all the way with an extravagant water feature.
Your garden and outdoor area is the first feature a buyer notices. Hopefully, these tips help you turnaround your garden for a favorable sale.
