When deciding to hire a lawn care and landscaping service in St Louis most people don’t consider the value that regular weekly or monthly service adds to both an individual home and the neighborhood as a whole. Even when disregarding the subjective added value that maintenance service adds, such as the first impression of an appraiser, the general upkeep of your yard for the neighbor who is attempting to sell his house at a premium – adding to the value of the homes around it, and the deterrence of crime with well placed landscape lighting, studies have shown that the professional maintenance of a lawn and landscape increases the value of a home.
In addition to a well-maintained lawn, when considering to add landscaping to increase the value of your home consider things like a stone or paver path and walkway, welcoming social areas, properly trimmed hedges, ornamental trees and shrubs, and colorful flower beds.
MSN Real Estate states that “good landscaping can provide more bang for your buck than almost any other home improvement — provided it’s done right.” As the warm months arrive don’t wait to invest in your lawn and landscape, it may be the deciding factor down the road whether you sell your house for your desired price.
