Taking the time and energy to create a beautiful garden is the best way to bring the best offer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Draw potential buyers through the door by creating an enticing landscape. Consider these seven ways to make your landscape pop this spring :<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Plant a Tree<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It may seem silly to plant a young tree in your yard given the fact that it won&#8217;t provide much immediate shade, but homebuyers will see the potential that new trees have. This can help create an idea of what the home will look like years after they purchase it. Trees are also beneficial because they grow deep root systems which help keep water from running off the soil.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Add New Color<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">An easy way to make your landscape pop is to plant new colors in your garden. Choose a bloom that will be in season while your home is on the market. Plant larger flowers, but also include some smaller blooms in pots near the entryway or walkway. Adding reds and yellows will help create interest in the home.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Tend to the Lawn<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dead spots in the lawn can be an eyesore and may deter buyers. Be sure to keep your yard maintained by cutting and watering it often. Feed your lawn with a quick release fertilizer that&#8217;ll provide hardy growth and reseed any visible bare spots. Also, if you don\u2019t have time to maintain the lawn, consider hiring a landscaping company that can bring your yard back to life quickly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Spread Some Mulch<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mulch is one of those landscaping elements that puts a finishing touch on your entire yard. Spread organic mulch\u2014such as bark dust\u2014under and around plants to help keep weeds from growing. Mulch also provides a beautiful base color to your yard and keeps plants hydrated all year long.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Place Outdoor Seating<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Potential buyers will want to be able to sit outside and enjoy the landscape that you&#8217;ve created. Make sure both your front and backyards have a spot to rest. Front porches should feature a small caf\u00e9 table and\/or rocking chairs. Place a full outdoor dining set on your back patio. Providing a spot for new owners to spend time outdoors is an essential part of making your landscaping intriguing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Install New Lighting<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Landscaping isn\u2019t always just about the plants. Lighting will provide homebuyers with the best view of your garden. Consider installing new lighting in the yard that&#8217;ll help draw attention to your home no matter what time of day it is. Potential buyers who tour the home after dusk will still be able to see the yard with the right lighting. Solar spotlights can make certain plants stand out, and string lights can help create ambiance in the backyard.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Clean up Hardscapes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The structure of your yard is another place that either makes or breaks a home tour. Pressure wash walkways, patios and decks. Also, be sure to remove any weeds around the pavement so the hardscapes look their best.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You spend a lot of time making sure the interior of your home is clean and inviting. A few improvements to your landscape will help entice potential buyers through the front door!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.rismedia.com\/2019\/7-ways-make-landscape-pop-spring\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Home Sellers : 7 Ways to Make the Landscape Pop This Spring<\/a> by Katie Kuchta | RISMedia housecall<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Homes with great curb appeal typically have a well-maintained yard.
