Did you know that having a beautifully manicured landscape adds both beauty and value to your home?  Whether you’re updating your landscaping for your personal enjoyment, or cleaning up the look for a quick sale.  Here are a few steps you can follow to ensure your home makes a great impression.

 

·  *Trimming trees, shrubs and plants helps to establish a clean look.  Particularly if they have been in place for more than a few years and have grown untended.

 

· * Weed removal and routine lawn mowing are key to achieving a manicured lawn.  Removing weeds can be quite tricky.  The best way to control weeds is to get them while they’re young.  A few simple pulls “here and there” can put you on the right track to a controlled lawn.  Also make sure your sprinkler timer is coordinated with the watering schedule for your neighborhood.

 

· * Adding color to your garden gives your landscape a little extra pizzazz.  Choosing the right plants can be a decision all your own or coupled with a landscaper or a quick visit to your local nursery.  Explaining your style and color tastes should provide enough to identify the right plants for you.

 

·  *A light layer of natural, bio-degradable mulch in landscape beds and tree rings should be added to not only provide visual appeal but to aid in water retention and weed suppression. You can find many tips and tricks on line or by using previously mentioned resources like landscapers and nurseries.

 

To ensure your home is “picture perfect” without any bumps in the road, a DRC application is needed before any major exterior changes in your landscape are done.
