When selling your home, curb appeal is important. That may seem obvious, and yet, many people still undervalue the exterior appearance of their home. No matter how much charm and functionality the inside of your home has, you won’t get people to come see it if the outside of your home doesn’t draw them in. So, if you feel like you’re struggling to draw people in during open houses, or you haven’t yet listed your home on the market, take stock of its curb appeal. If you need some livening up, a little landscaping can completely reinvent the look of your home.
A Subtle Makeover Can Have Eye-Catching Results
When you see the same sights around you every day, you stop noticing certain things. Ask a friend, or someone who doesn’t regularly see your home to help you evaluate the home’s curb appeal. They may be able to spot areas that need a little touch up. When you make a decision about the landscaping you want to do to the outside of your home, you don’t have to get extravagant. You don’t need hedges trimmed in the shape of animals. Simple adjustments to the foliage of your yard and porch can make all the difference.
Refresh What You Already Have in Place
This procedure doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. You don’t have to put in a new flower bed or import an exotic tree of some kind. Often, simply refreshing what you already have works great. Refresh mulch and soil where appropriate. Pull out dead plants and replace them with fresh blooms. Consider greening the yard with a lawn food product to add color and vibrancy. A little yard work can have the front of your home looking brand new, and that can draw in prospective homebuyers.
Small Additions to Your Front Porch or Door Can Make a Difference Too
If you want to make some additions to the look and feel of your home exterior, you can add small potted plants to the front entrance, or even a wreath to the front door. Adding little pops of color with potted flowers can have a nice eye-catching effect too. Plus, when you use small, mobile planters, you can take these bits of foliage with you when you move. When you have your landscaping plan in place, you should also consider thoroughly cleaning the door, patio, windows, and walkways to make your home exterior really shine.
