How Much Value Does Landscaping Add To Your Long Island Home?

March 31, 2022

A properly landscaped yard is advantageous to every homeowner. This type of improvement can significantly enhance the curb appeal of your property, which is among the most important components in selling a home and in the process can add tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars to the value of your home. Even if the interiors of your property are stylish and upscale in nature, the landscape is the first thing people see when looking at your home, which is what they use to form their initial impression. If you want to add value to your home through landscaping, it’s important that you use your money correctly to ensure a high return on investment.

How Much Landscaping Can Add to the Value of a Home

A home with an ample amount of landscaping is invariably going to be more valuable than a home without landscaping. A fair estimate is a 10-20% increase. If your home is worth around $400,000 before landscaping, it’s feasible that some wise investments could allow you to add $40,000 – $80,000 or more to the value of your home, which could bring you significant profits if you decide to sell your home in the future.

The amount of value that you can add to your home with landscaping depends on how much you invest into the project as well as the types of improvements you make. To get the best return on your money, make sure that you create a plan before getting started. This may require seeking out a professional landscape designer to conceptualize the elements into your outdoor space that will be best suited to bring an ROI.

Landscaping Tips for Boosting Curb Appeal

There are plenty of things that you can do to add some value to your home. Some basic tips to adhere to that don’t cost a lot of money include:

Mow, fertilize and water your lawn on a weekly basis
Add some flowering annuals near the front door
Make sure that your yard is free of weeds
Refresh landscape mulch every year
Remove weeds from rock beds
Keep trees and shrubs pruned
Mulch or remove leaves each fall
Consider adding a concrete or paver patio

Each of these tips aren’t too costly, especially when considering they are an investment into the future value of your home. If you want to add a significant amount of value to the property, you’ll want to make some strategic changes which could include a beautiful garden with colorful plants, automatic irrigation system and more.

Landscaping is a great way to increase the value of your home without spending too much money. There’s a wide array of improvements that can be made to a landscape on any budget, which gives you the opportunity to choose the improvements that best match the look and style of your home while ensuring a maximum return on investment.
