6 Landscaping Tricks that WOW Buyers

1. Add splashes of color

With every changing season, a landscape should provide a new display of colors,

textures, and fragrances. It's best to use one or two and repeat them.

2. Size trees and shrubs to scale

These should be planted in the right scale for the house so that they don't

block windows, doors, and other arachitectural features on the home's facade.

3. Maintin a perfect lawn

A velvety green lawn demonstrates tender loving care,

so seller's, be sure your yards don't have brown spots.

4. Light up the outside

Good illumination allows buyers to see a home at night and adds drama.

5. Let them hear the water

The sound of water appeals to buyers and you shouldn't just reserve this for your backyard.

A small fountain accented with rocks provides a pleasant gurgling sound, blocks street noise,

and is affordable.

6. Use decorative architectural elements

A new mailbox, planted window boxes, and a low fence wrapped in potato vines

add cachet, particularly during winter months when fewer plants blossom.
