Invest in and Personalize Your Home with Landscaping

Now that you've got your custom built Fischer & Fritchel home, it's time to make it your own. With a little effort, time, and money, you can drastically change the overall value and appearance of your house. In March, we posted about improving the value of your home from the inside, but with the arrival of spring, we'd like to show you a few ways to add to the value of your home from the outside. With nice weather settling in, it's the perfect time for some do-it-yourself love on your home.

Whether you just want to enjoy your own backyard more or are looking to increase its resale value, landscaping has proven to be one of the best home investments you can make. Studies show that home buyers value a well-landscaped home higher than a comparable one without landscaping, so your efforts you pay off in the long run.

Shrubbery or a new tree can be purchased for under $100 and will become a permanent fixture in your landscaping. Such a simple addition can increase the aesthetic value of your home and backyard. You can also consider purchasing a selection of perennial flowers from a local nursery. These flowers will return every year to add a bit of color to your home's exterior and can be easily planted. Ask your nursery for help in planning your new flower garden's design.

If you don't have the money (or green thumb) to plant new trees, shrubs, and flowers, you can always manicure those you already own. Laying down new mulch, pulling weeds, and trimming back overgrown trees and shrubs can make your home more inviting.

The ultimate addition to your home is a new deck. According to Remodeling magazine's "Cost VS Value" report, a new deck can add more value to your home than a sunroom, bathroom remodel, or extensive kitchen remodel. Consider composite decking, which requires no maintenance and won't rot. Building a new deck adds a new outdoor living space for you and your family to enjoy, and the cost of it can be largely recouped in the added resale value of your home.

You can upgrade your current home with new additions, from flowers to a new deck. If you're looking to do more extensive work on your house and need the help of a professional, visit the Fischer & Fritchel website to learn more about our signature home renovations.
