Quality landscape improvements return 100% or more of their cost when a house is sold

A Word on Budget
Often we get asked, what is a realistic budget? Obviously, this answer is going to vary by the individual project. However, for your overall home landscaping, one rule of thumb is that it’s not uncommon to invest ten percent or more of your property’s worth; this figure should include all landscape design and installation costs, as well as plant materials.

If this seems steep, remember, your residential landscape design is one of the first things prospective buyers notice when they visit your house. Realtors say many Dallas home shoppers will not even get out of their car if the house lacks “curb appeal” and that quality landscaping reduces the time a home stays of the market by five to six weeks. Additionally, many homeowners don’t realize that quality landscape improvements return 100 to 200 percent of their cost when a house is sold.* Landscaping is the only home improvement that can boast this kind of return on investment.
