If you\u2019re considering selling your house, curb appeal is crucial. Good landscaping not only beautifies your home, but also increases its value. Depending on your area, a well-planned lawn and garden can increase your home\u2019s worth by as much as 28%<\/a>. Even if you\u2019re not planning to move, garden design is an investment in your home. Though it might take a few years to reap full benefits as plantings mature, think of it as a venture that grows over time.<\/p>\n

Design sophistication is key when enhancing your property. Find landscape architects<\/a> whose work you admire, and interview several before making a decision. An architect or designer will also ask you questions, including how much maintenance you\u2019re willing to do. For best results, hire a landscape architect in the winter, so that the design is ready by spring and work can get underway.<\/p>\n

Your landscape architect works with contractors and can recommend suitable people for large projects, such as earth moving. For an additional fee, your architect\u2019s firm can supervise the plantings by a landscape contractor. That\u2019s money well spent to ensure all plantings are installed correctly.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s important that your design plans are appropriate for your home. Some garden projects suit most properties, while others may look out of place. Select a design that is cohesive with and enhances your home\u2019s architectural style. For best results, include a mix of trees, native plants, and flowers.<\/p>\n

Trees<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Trees do more than improve the look of your property. Well-placed trees help cool the house in warm weather, reducing energy bills. Their roots aid in preventing storm-water runoff and subsequent pooling. Aesthetically, one or two large specimen or shade trees on the front lawn of a typical suburban home add the most curb appeal. Another option for homes with large road frontage is a tree line consisting of several tall deciduous trees, along with complementary fencing.<\/p>\n

Flowers<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Nothing accents your home like colourful annuals or perennials in your flowerbeds. Just viewing flowers lifts the spirits, and gives homeowners and potential buyers a good feeling. Potted flowering plants brighten entranceways, and you can take them with you if you\u2019re moving.<\/p>\n

Native Plants<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Choosing native plants for your garden means you\u2019ll have a lovely design with minimal upkeep. That\u2019s because these plants thrive in the soil and climate of your region. They\u2019re also a source of food and shelter for the native birds and wildlife. This way, you\u2019re not only updating your garden, but also helping the environment.<\/p>\n

As with most things in life, you get what you pay for. While your local garden centre may have perfectly acceptable flowering plants, a reputable nursery will provide the best options for trees and shrubbery, which when professionally planted, will ensure maximum longevity.<\/p>\n

Maximize Aesthetic Value<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

The right garden and landscaping design can downplay some of your home\u2019s shortcomings. Hedges are an attractive way to shield your property\u2019s boundaries and add privacy. If you live on a busy road, certain plantings can help reduce noise levels. Your landscape designer can devise the best ways to minimize any issues with your particular property.<\/p>\n
