Boosting Home Values by 35%

September 15, 2010

According to a study published in the Journal of Environmental Horticulture.  After evaluating 75 homes, the study (in Lubbock, TX) concluded that every dollar invested in landscaping returns $1.35 – or a 35 percent return on investment.  The same study found that having a high-quality landscape compared to an average one increases the sales price of the home by 5.7 percent. 

So hown can you translate this 35 percent increase in value into an increase in your bottom line? 

  • Add color to the front porch by planting attractive containers with mums or pansies.
  • Make sure plants are in proportion to the home, and not overgrown. In new subdivisions, an investment in trees and shrubs can help make a home stand apart.
  • Eliminate all weeds. Every. Single. One.
  • Add outdoor interest with hardscapes – Paver patios, Pergolas, Retaining walls, Swing arbors or Water Features.

Why wait any longer?
