The Importance of Landscaping
It is true, a well-landscaped yard surrounding a brand new home is a beautiful sight. Not only does it allow you to feel more at home, it will generate compliments from family and friends. Moreover, though those are both excellent things, they are certainly not the only benefits landscaping provides. Landscaping adds significant value to your home. In fact, estimates range from ten to twelve percent increases in home value following professional landscaping. On the other hand, should you ever decide to sell, a poorly landscaped yard can drop your expected sale price significantly.
