Your home is probably the largest investment you will ever make! The development of your exterior landscape is a substantial portion of this investment. Realtors and Lenders say 10% of Home Value should be allocated to landscaping projects (i.e. $250,000 home value; allocate $25,000 for completed landscape). A well-planned landscape not only impacts the beauty, appearance and enjoyment of your property, but also simultaneously impacts curb appeal and thus, increases the market value by as much as 10-17%. A combination of the three landscape features that impact property appearance and value the most are:
1) Plant size 2). Diversity of plant material and hardscapes 3). Degree of Design Sophistication
