Front Yard Landscape And Home Improvement

Did you know that well-thought front yard landscapes are more valuable in terms of the value of your home than kitchen or bathroom renovations? This should be a good enough reason to start working on a comprehensive plan to fix what’s wrong in your yard.

Here are five top tips that are inexpensive and likely to improve the look of your property overnight.

  • Do a major clean up in the yard. Call in a rubble remover and get rid of the old rusted hosepipe and the broken-down washing machine and lawnmower. Pull out the weeds at the side of the house. Rake and de-weed the lawn. Sweep the paths and driveway. Fix or replace rattling windows and doors. Apply varnish to window frames to brighten them up. Clean the gutters. Go up on the roof and rid it of debris and give the roof a good sweep. Paint the trim of the house. Pick up the dog poop once or twice a day.
  • Get a hose reel so that the water hose is not always tangled up in a heap in the yard. Replace the old mailbox with one that is large and sturdy.
  • Take a close look at the front door. Does it need to be varnished? Do you need a peephole so you can check first before you open the door? Clean the glass portions of the door. Sweep the porch and rid it of unnecessary items. Give away the birdcage that’s been gathering dust on the porch.
