Are you getting ready to sell your home or just wanting to make a few improvements? Here are 6 tips to help you spruce up your yard and add value to your home.
1. Start with some edging. Creating a clean edge where grass meets mulch, straw or pavement goes a long way in making your yard seem more well kept.
2. Cut back the weeds. Many common yard plants tend to get unruly without regular attention, so cutting them back should be an annual event. Even if you get heavy handed with the garden shears, it will only take a season or two for your plants to grow back more beautiful than ever.
3. Fertilize the lawn. Your grass will be visibly greener with just one fertilizer application. However, if you truly want a lush lawn you can expect to commit to several rounds.
4. Add a splash of color. Invest in plants that flower in different seasons, keeping your yard in full bloom all year round.
5. Try a new angle. Most foliage is found at the base of the home or along the perimeter of the yard. By adding some plants throughout the property you can make your yard seem larger and your home will appear to be further from the road.
6. Create a private sanctuary. Create your own backyard retreat by adding a natural barrier with evergreen shrubs. If you really want your privacy then a fence may be your best bet.
