Updating your landscape design is a great way to improve the overall quality and value of your home while giving you the front or backyard that you’ve always dreamed of. Thoughtfully landscaped homes not only have a significant price advantage over homes without landscaping, often ranging in the tens of thousands of dollars, but also have a much more favorable curb appeal. Unlike interior design, a beautiful landscape does not frequently go out of style, with plants growing fuller and more luxurious over time. With careful preparation, an understanding of native plants and grasses, and design planning, you can create an outdoor living area that takes full advantage of your surroundings while providing a smart investment for the future.
