A beautiful landscape can add so much to your home. It's a place where your pets and children run around and play. Host a beautiful rose garden or grow your fruit and vegetables. There are many reasons why you should keep up with your landscape and here are four ways a landscape designer can help you.

1. Improve Home Value

According to This Old House, as of 2023, standard lawn care and landscape maintenance have the highest cost recovery for homeowners among outdoor projects. Professional work by a landscape designer can improve the value of your home as they ensure you have healthy soil and fertilize the grass, plant trees, and care for other vegetation to enhance the overall beauty and exterior function of your home. Keeping it healthy and aesthetically pleasing can make a home valuable for appraisers and potential buyers.

2. Create a Cozy Space

When you think of coziness, you may picture being inside your home in front of the fireplace or stretching out on your couch. Your landscape designer can create just as much coziness by designing an inviting layout that makes it easy to relax. The placement of flowerbeds near windows or patios, water features that attract friendly wildlife, and strategically placed trees for shade all contribute to a comfortable outdoor space.

3. Choose Suitable Plants

Your professional landscape designer knows the best plants to add to your landscape to help it thrive, add beauty, and be easier to maintain. According to Sustainable America, native plants are a vital part of the ecosystem due to their role in continuous plant reproduction. These plants last longer while attracting and providing a habitat for friendly wildlife pollinators like bees, butterflies, and certain birds. Being a great fit for the environment makes these plants easier to maintain without using treatments or excessive amounts of water.

4. Add More Curb Appeal

Curb appeal refers to how good your home looks from the outside. When you have green grass, bold-colored flowers, and sections marked off with colorful mulch, it can make your landscape stand out on the block. Meet HOA regulations by keeping up a beautiful lawn. You could easily attract potential buyers who, like many, also consider a landscape in their final decision.
