Installing an automatic irrigation system is one of the simplest ways to maintain your yard and increase the value of your home.
Whether you're considering a drip system or an in-ground sprinkler system, both distribute a controlled amount of water to keep your landscape looking its best without overwatering or underwatering.
If you reside in a part of the country where arid, dry weather is the norm, installing artificial grass can add value to your home quickly. Artificial grass eliminates the need to purchase lawn care equipment.
Even better, yard turf can last up to 20 years, so you don't have to worry about replacement if you plan to relocate within that time frame. In addition, artificial grass conserves a great deal of water, which can significantly reduce your water bills—an enticing selling point!

Your yard may be lacking in greenery. Consider tree plantingTree planting is a landscape project that involves selecting, placing, and nurturing trees in a spec...! Depending on where you reside, trees can add between $1,000 and $10,000 to the value of your home, in addition to filling up empty space.
Buyers are interested in mature trees, so planting a tree sapling does not guarantee an increase in property value. It can take somewhere between three to eight years for a tree to reach maturity, so plant them as soon as possible.
Keep in mind, however, that depending on tree size, relocation, and planting complexity, hiring a landscaping company to assist with planting mature trees be costly.
Potential buyers will notice if you neglect to maintain a large number of shrubs and bushes surrounding your home. Each year, you should prune and shape the bushes in your yard to remove dead or overgrown branches.

Adding new mulch is one of the best ways to keep your landscaping looking new for longer. Mulch aids in soil moisture retention.
It restricts evaporation, insulates the soil, and helps maintain lower root temperatures, thereby supplying plants with vital nutrients that help them look their best. Moreover, it is an ideal addition to any landscape design!
