Owning a home is a big step towards creating an inheritance or acquiring a certain wealth. One thing is for sure, once you are an owner, a lot of expenses and especially investments are to be expected! The goal of these outlays of money is to have a positive return on each dollar invested (ROI). For example, it is common to invest in a new kitchen or bathroom, which will consequently increase the value of the home.

However, a question that often comes up is: does landscaping increase the value of a home?

According to experts, the answer is: Yes

Indeed, landscaping increases the value of your home. It is therefore important to take a portion of your budget and devote it to your land. A house that has had its landscaping work done has a selling price of approximately 5.5% to 12.5% ​​more than a house that has not had any work done. (Source)

A home valued at $600,000 that has completed its landscaping work would add between $33,000 and $75,000 in value.

What types of work should you undertake?

It is important to understand that planting a few plants and building a patio without digging are not jobs that will increase the value of your home. We recommend investing in all the basic exterior work first:

Fence
Pool
Asphalt or paving driveway
Patio
Sod

Once this work is done, all that remains is to maintain your new layout. To ensure that your work lasts for a long time, it is important to do business with a professional and recognized company.

To have a good visual of the work that will be done at your home and to avoid unpleasant surprises, we recommend finding a company that offers 3D and 2D design services.

After all, it is important to invest in your home so that it increases in value, but the most important thing is to be comfortable and at home.
