Keeping Your House Value UP
 

Landscaping can add 7% to 15% to your home's valueWith a less than stellar economy and declining house values, maybe now is the time to become proactive and get involved in preserving your home value and enjoy living with the results.

Everyone agrees, quality landscaping can increase 'curb appeal' and home values and the biggest component of your landscape is your lawn.


The people who know say:

  • 'Landscaping can add between 7 and 15% to a home's value.' the Gallop Organization

  • 'Homes with "excellent" landscaping can expect a sale price about 6 to 7 percent higher than equivalent houses with "good" landscaping, while improving from "average" to "good" can result in a 4 to 5 percent increase.' Clemson University

  • 'Landscaping can bring a recover value of 100 to 200 percent at selling time. Kitchen remodeling brings 75 to 125 % recovery rate bathroom remodeling a 20 to 120 % recovery rate, and addition of a swimming pool a 20 to 50 percent recovery rate.' Money Magazine

Benefits of a quality lawn

  • Enhanced house value and increases 'curb appeal'

  • Reduced bothersome noise by as much as 50%

  • Significantly reduces air temperatures around the house by 10 to 20 degrees (The front lawns of eight houses have the cooling effect of about 70 tons of air conditioning. That's amazing when the average home has an air conditioner with just a three or four ton capacity.)

  • Reduction of air and water pollution (2,500 square feet of lawn absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and release enough oxygen for a family of four to breathe)

  • Reduced soil erosion and storm water control

  • Increased 'usability' of your yard

  • Source of beauty and comfort
