Landscape Tips for Home Sale Success

Give the impression that the property has been loved and cared for.

We Buy Houses Fast – St Louis MO : If you wish to sell your home you will want to pay a lot of attention to the outside so that when the buyers pull up to the curb your house will stand out and be considered appealing to those coming to take a look. It doesn’t need to be expensive, but several things should be done so it has the proverbial ‘curb appeal.’

Remove all seasonal décor, such as Christmas lights, reindeer lawn ornaments, last year’s garden stakes with no plants on them, and the remnants of pumpkin mash still staining the sidewalk. There should be no sign of holiday décor.Plant flowers wherever you can, they are inexpensive and serve well to bring an inviting presence to the house. If you can place window boxes under the windows, that would be a great addition. Flowers planted along the sidewalk can make it seem like a good idea to walk up to the house. Yellow is the best color by far for adding appeal.

“It looks best where the light can shine into the house and makes it look well kept.”

Stone, brick, or any other kind of wall may look old and worn. Take the time to fix it up and reshape it so it looks great once again. Do the same with the porch steps and railings. Give the impression that the property has been loved and cared for. Anything that gives the impression that you have not taken care of the home will be a potential deterrent to buyers who want to buy well maintained homes.

Trim up the plants, bushes, and trees. If your bushes have grown up over your windows, trim them back to get the windows exposed. It looks best where the light can shine into the house and makes it look well kept. Some people prefer the English cottage look with everything growing willy nilly all over the house and grounds, but many prefer the cleaner cut look. If in doubt, do what you feel might be appreciated the greatest number of lookers. Neutral is good.

When everything is in good shape, you can add in some character items. Bird baths and fountains, old wagon wheels, subtle statues, etc can be placed around the yard to give it some character. This is where you can use your personal taste but don’t get carried away. You might think the plywood character of granny bending over in the garden showing her bloomers is funny but it might be too much humor for someone else.
