subject: Landscape Designers Offer Beauty And Value [print this page] Now that youve established your home, its time to think about expanding it. Many people will just buy a larger television or more kitchen appliances, but what does that really contribute to your home? That extra few inches of screen is nothing compared to improving your homes aesthetic quality and increasing its property value at the same time. Hold off on buying a shallow, meaningless upgrade and invest in your home while improving its beauty and appeal through exterior landscaping.
Landscaping options can include many different arrangements or additions. From specialized lawn maintenance to a customized patio, a landscape designer will work with you to form and design your homes exterior. Think about it, maybe you want to expand your lawn design to include a water feature or intricate stone work, or you want to build that dream patio to host the next Fourth of July cookout. Landscaping services offer deck builders and landscape designers that can help to sculpt your property into whatever your tastes see fit.
This is not without some concerns; there are many things to take into account during the consultation process with a deck builder or handy man. First of all, there is such a thing as overdoing it. Too heavy a design will ruin the appearance of your home, and will overcomplicate the most basic lawn maintenance tasks. Excessive, bulky stonework leads to awkwardness for tasks like mowing and hedging. Also, in emergency situations, too much or too bulky landscaping additions can harm more than help your home. A deck that is too sprawled and awkward to navigate in an emergency situation could add important seconds to emergency response time, or cause complications in the movements and procedures of the response teams. Always design with an eye for functionality as well as visual pleasure.
Finally, a landscaping redesign can cause your homes value to skyrocket. Experts say that with an in-depth landscaping, or deck addition, property value can go up as much as 20% of the homes worth from first impressions on the house. Some say that aesthetics do not contribute to tangible value, but that is simply not true as a landscaping design can add as much to home value as a kitchen or bathroom redesign, and usually for a lower cost.
Schedule a consultation with a handy man or landscape designer today to add beauty and value to you property. With proper lawn maintenance and regard for conscientious design your exterior can become something truly remarkable, able to stand the test of time while being reflective of personal taste and value.
