Increase the Value of your Home: Landscape your Garden

Even if you have run out of space within your home, you could still give it the impression of looking bigger by cleverly designing your garden so that it works as an extension to your living space. In doing so, you will be adding value to your property; don’t forget that buyers these days are looking for added extras and features that are ready-made so that they do not have to do the work themselves!

A stunning garden that has been well-planned to incorporate practical benefits such as sectioning off areas for children to play, creating privacy from neighbouring properties and keeping animals contained will attract attention from prospective buyers.

When designing the garden, consider a deck or patio that leads out from large glass doors and make sure you don’t hide it behind curtains – you want your viewers to walk into the room and immediately be drawn to your lovely outside space!

Use this decking or patio area to create an outside dining and entertaining space and consider covering it and adding a heating system so that the area can be used all year round rather than just during the summer months.

Another idea to consider is to add an outdoor kitchen with a permanent barbeque or outdoor oven and a sink. If your property is strapped for entertaining space inside, make that space outside! That way you can utilise your inside space for other important things, thus making your home even more attractive to potential buyers.

And don’t forget the front garden! It is the first thing viewers see so make sure it looks fantastic and leaves a lasting impression.

Landscaping a garden will make it easier to sell your property, especially if thought and planning goes into the project. It is all about extending space outdoors, and making that outdoor space habitable all year round. If you are in any doubt on how best to utilise your outdoor space, consult a professional landscape gardener for advice; it will be money well spent, and will be recouped when you sell your property!
