Great Options to Maximize Your Curb Appeal
There are many choices you can make for your home’s exterior that will improve the home’s exterior. In turn, these choices will boost the way you feel about your home and its market value should you decide to sell your home. These four improvements will lead to a home that offers outstanding curb appeal and is more inviting to guests.
1) Landscape Lighting
Make your home stand out at night by installing landscape lighting. You can choose from many different types of lights, including the following:
- String lights
- Area and path lights
- Under water lights
- Patio lights
- Deck lights
- Step lights
- Spotlights
Lighting can help to define paths, outdoor living areas, or for entertaining outdoors throughout the year.
2) Water Features
Few things bring a landscape to life better than water features. From waterfalls and windmills to koi ponds and fountains, water features can add something special to every yard.
The added benefit is that they add a hint of serenity to your outdoor living area. Offering a place to relax at the end of a long day and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature.
3) Irrigation Systems
If your neighbor’s grass is always greener than yours, perhaps it’s time to invest in an irrigation system for your lawn.
Lawn irrigation systems offer many benefits. These benefits include:
- Decreasing weeds
- Conserving water
- Preserving the nutrients in your soil
- Saving time over watering lawns by hand
- Creating greener lawns your neighbors may grow to envy
There’s a lot to love about irrigation systems that makes them well worth the investment.
4) Drainage
Ponding water in your lawn and garden can lead to many unpleasant things in the south – mosquitos in particular. Ponding water kills grass and if it is ponding close to your home can cause rot, mold, and structural problems for your home.
It is better for the beauty of your lawn, your sanity, your health, and the structure of your home to eliminate ponding water by installing an effective drainage system. This will keep your grass and family healthy and create a more beautiful lawn space – even during the rainy season.
