Landscaping Tips For Selling Your Home in Denver

Posted on: July 23rd, 2017 by , No Comments

Are you struggling with selling your house in this market? You may need some landscaping tips for selling your home in Denver.

Landscaping Tips For Selling Your Home in Denver – We’ve all heard the expression that, “you can only make a first impression once.” Unless you have a forgiving person willing to give you a second chance. When it comes to investing into a house, you rarely get those unless you offer to pay to update what someone didn’t like. This post is going to be about how you can update your landscaping to make that great first impression!

If you don’t know what landscaping is to begin with, let’s give you the definition for it as a verb (Dictionary.com):

  • to improve the appearance of (an area of land, a highway, etc.), as by planting trees, shrubs, or grass, or altering the contours of the ground.

Now that we briefly went over the importance of landscaping, supplied a definition of landscaping in the context of this blog, let’s go into the actual use and landscaping tips for selling your home in Denver or elsewhere for that matter.

1. Create A Comfortable Experience

Once of the best things about having a backyard with a big porch and plenty of space is to be able to entertain guests, family and friends whenever you invite them over to try a new recipe you’ve found! Or to simply have a good drink while talking about the good life. Here’s what you can do to make it better.

  • Have a variety of seating options
  • Make it hand free as much as possible with tables to place drinks or plates.
  • Make sure there’s plenty of umbrellas or a gazebo to create shade from the sun.
  • If you already have your property listed with a Realtor or not, make sure you or your listing agent host a barbecue with plenty of guests on one specific day to take advantage of showing of your grilling skills with plenty of space for entertainment!

2. Appeal to the Curb

Since a large percentage of home buyers begin the process on the internet, glamorous photos are critical to getting home buyers from their house to yours. This is probably one of the best landscaping tips for selling your home in Denver. We can’t express enough how important curb appeal can be when it comes to selling your house.

  • Add welcoming decor such as doormats
  • Add a new mailbox if it’s in the driveway
  • May be time to cut down that old Japanese shrub blocking the porch
  • Make sure paints flow evenly

3. Get New Color from Plants

You can’t wait for fall just to have some new color show up from the beautiful trees surrounding your house. Nor do you want to paint your house a bunch of different colors just to make it pop. “Keeping it simple and doing less work is not a bad thing. Get some new plants such as Peonies or Tulips and surround your front porch or backyard with them to add extra color that’ll make anyone distract from that old fence you may not be able to replace. It’ll be cheaper too!

4. Keep Everything Neat

Usually we admire someone who is organized and neat about everything. We like things to be neat and clean because it gives us a clear mind going through our day. Clutter can be stressful. This house buying process is already a headache for most so you don’t want to add onto that. This may seem like one of those common-sense landscaping tips for selling your home in Denver but it’s worth bringing up!

  • Clear all the unnecessary junk out of the gutters and pull any weeds.
  • A great power washing on a house is like washing your cash after going 4 wheeling.
  • It may be time to have a yard sale for everything you haven’t used in that storage shed.
  • Hire a window cleaner, the sun reveals a lot!

We hope this was very helpful so far. It may seem like quite the chore but it’s kind of like doing the dishes after a great dinner. You still have to do the dishes. It’ll be well worth your time to make the landscaping a key selling point especially before the winter time comes.
