by | May 6, 2020 | Lawn Care Tips

Upgrading the landscaping on your property offers many rewards while giving a fresh new look to your outdoor living spaces. Choosing from the many options available can be an exciting prospect for homeowners who are dreaming of a patio makeover, masonry walkway, irrigation, or the ambiance of mood lighting to enhance backyard gatherings. The completion of your unique upgrade can have the immediate benefit for you and your family of increased time and enjoyment spent at home. An attractive reward for your investment is seeing the monetary value of your home increase along with its desirability through the eyes of potential home buyers.

The National Association of Realtors and the National Association of Landscape Professionals conducted several surveys and compiled a list of landscape features that offered the highest rated returns financially, as well as rating the contentment factor. The following list was compiled of results taken from consumers, who were asked about their last outdoor project; landscape contractors, asked about average project costs, and realtors, surveyed about the cost recovery for each project.

The complete findings of the report that polled realtors, homeowners, and landscape professionals can be found in their 2018 Remodeling Impact Outdoor Features report.
