Research from organizations such as National Association of Realtors and various real estate studies has found that quality landscaping can increase a home's value, often by several percentage points. Mature trees, healthy lawns, attractive plantings, and cohesive landscape design tend to deliver the highest returns.
Properties with attractive outdoor spaces often generate more buyer interest and may spend less time on the market. Buyers frequently associate a well-landscaped yard with overall good property maintenance.
If you don’t want to complete a full-scale landscaping project, consider these small but impactful updates: paint fences, add mulch, remove weeds, trim bushes and trees, replace old patio furniture with new seating, add colorful potted plants and new planters, and incorporate native plants, which tend to be lower-maintenance.
