Landscaping Works for Everyone
Did you know that you should expect to renovate your homes landscape every 15-20 years to keep plantings in scale and to compensate for trees growing longer? On the plus side, a landscape renovation not only adds beauty to your neighborhood, but also raises property values. Property design and installed landscapes will even improve the environment. Real estate experts say one of the most appreciated benefits of a landscape renovation is that it will pay off when it is time to sell your home. Imagine speeding the sale of your home by five to six weeks by renovating or updating an existing landscape.
Money Magazine estimates that you can expect to recover100-200 percent of your landscaping investment. Authorities agree that landscaping is good for your entire community specially when it is designed and installed by a landscape professional.
According to the American Association of Nurserymen plants add economic and environmental value to communities. By simply following basic landscape design principles, you can increase the value of your home 15 percent. A landscape professional is trained to select and install plants that will add beauty and value to your home. Planting trees is one of the best a home owner can make. For example, proper placement of only three trees will save an average house hold up to $250 in energy cost annually! This is a welcome benefit for you and your family not to mention the environment. That is money saved for a “rainy day.”
Have an erosion problem? A landscape professional has expertise in determining what plants control runoff, slow erosion and allow water to be absorbed in the soil. If that “rainy day” does arrive, you need not worry about the costly problems, such as wet basements, damage plants, and soggy ground.
You don’t have to spend your weekends working in the yard. Professionally planned and installed landscaping can greatly reduce the amount of weekly care. A landscape designed for your lifestyle can be described as “therapeutic.” Careful plant selection by a landscape professional can eliminate wear and tear on you so you can enjoy more time with family, friends and neighbors.
Professionally installed landscapes are an extension of your personal taste that adds thousands of dollars of value to your home and the entire neighborhood. You will enjoy your landscape- but so will your friends, your neighbors, and your environment!
