Using Landscape Design to Help SELL Your Home


When selling your home, you want a competitive edge to secure the best price possible. Boost your property value with clever landscape design! Here’s how:

Make your home ‘the’ house of the street

The first impression potential buyers will have of your property is from the outside – the garden. A well designed garden that complements your home and takes pride of place in the street scape will be sure to have an immediate impact. There are a number of qualities that can raise a property’s value:


  • Level of care taken and garden maintenance at the property
  • An eye for detail and design in crafting the garden
  • Money and time have been invested to beautify the property
  • It’s a desirable place someone could proudly call home!

A garden speaks volumes about your lifestyle

When home buyers are inspecting, they are picturing themselves and what their lifestyle will be (or what investors will market to potential tenants), and this is your opportunity to excite!

Landscape design can create both open space and shelter from the elements – great for entertainers – as well as quiet nooks for relaxation, beautiful large or varied plants for an avid gardener to care for, or a low maintenance, yet luxurious backyard for the time-poor professional. To appeal to lovers of cooking, an outdoor kitchen or veggie patch could be ideal!

Highlight your property’s best points

Landscape design can really help to capture the imagination of a potential buyer, by incorporating a number of design elements into a garden, perhaps framing and highlighting a view, or capturing and making the most of afternoon sunlight with clever, considered garden design.


Something unsightly in your backyard? Maybe the neighbour’s house is an eyesore, or there are utility metres you want hidden. Perhaps your home is near a busy road and you’re tired of the noise. Landscapers can soften the impact of these or obscure them from visibility with smart landscaping and clever planting solutions. Turn these perceived blights into opportunities to innovate!



 
Do it for YOU!


Most importantly – consider your needs in making any upgrade!

Investing to capitalise upon your property’s great appearance is a good idea, but isn’t it smarter to make that investment earlier so you can really enjoy your outdoor space in the meantime? You’ll be prepared with a considered and established garden should you decide to go to market in future!
