Tips – Good Things to Know
- The cost of landscaping a property can be about 50% - 75% less than that of a kitchen remodel.
- Putting 10% - 15% of the value of your home into landscape is a good rule of thumb.
- Your landscape/garden is considered another living space of your home – and it is given a value in an Appraisal Report.
- A property that is beautifully landscaped and maintained has a ‘curb appeal’ that sells better than one that is not.
