Sellers interested in increasing the value of their properties should take a step outside their homes. After reviewing a decade’s worth of research, one horticulturist calculated that proper landscaping can increase a property’s value by up to 12.7 percent. The homes that benefit most from this strategy are those that have better-quality designs that feature masses of planting and a sophisticated balance of trees, shrubs, and seasonal color. Of course, one of the best ways of increasing value through landscaping involves making the most of pre-existing mature plants and trees. Generally speaking, the older the tree, the greater its value. Additionally, prospective buyers are attracted to outdoor seating areas, such as patios, which increase the livability of the property.
