Home renovation projects will always represent an excellent investment and doing up the house to suit your lifestyle can be incredibly rewarding… but let’s not forget that these home improvements deliver other benefits beyond making the house warm and welcoming.
You can also add serious value to the property, which will stand you in excellent stead if and when you come to sell.
For landscaping and garden design, there are many different approaches to take, but some will add more value than others. If this is a top concern for you when it comes to making changes at home, here are some of the best options to help you get the biggest bang for your buck.
Outdoor kitchens
A huge trend these days, outdoor kitchens – perfect for the patio! – will not only serve you well while you call your house home, but it can also add significant value to the property and make it easier to sell when the time comes.
Front-of-house landscaping
It’s easy to neglect the front of your house in favour of the back, where it’s likely that you’ll spend more time with friends and family, but prioritising curb appeal and properly landscaping the front can add up to ten per cent or so to the value of your home… not to mention the fact that prospective buyers often make up their minds before they even set foot in the house.
Privacy
Being able to enjoy spending time outside without worrying that passersby or neighbours can see you is invaluable. You have plenty of options for making your garden more private, ranging from beautiful fencing, brick walls (or a combination of the two!), trees, hedges, screens, living walls, strategically placed outbuildings and so on.
Of course, these are just a few ideas so if you’re keen to add as much value to your home as possible but aren’t sure where to begin, get in touch with the LW Landscapes team today.
