Landscaping for springfield mo real estate

Increase Springfield, MO real estate property value

One of the major questions we often get regarding Springfield, MO real estate is whether or not landscaping can truly impact property value. You’ll be happy to learn that yes, it can. It not only increases value, but it also increases value immediately. This makes it a great area to focus on before a sale.

So, now you know that landscaping can change the overall value of your home. Where should you start? Take a look at some ideas from Southwest Missouri Realty, your Springfield, MO real estate expert, to get your creative landscaping juices flowing.

Lighting Fixtures

Outdoor lighting is beautiful and affordable; it creates a sense of calm and safety for homeowners. From patio lights to garage-mounted motion sensors or small glowing garden lights, outdoor lighting can bring in plenty of interest from those shopping for a new house.

Retaining Walls and Fences

This is an area where you may need to factor in the cost of materials versus the increase of value on your home, but if you’ve already started a project of this nature, then a great time to finish is right before you sell. If done well, a retaining wall or fence can create an aesthetically pleasing yard and offer a sense of privacy from neighbors and animals around the community.

Trees, Trees, and More Trees

We take them for granted in nature everyday, but there are certain tree types that can add a big boost to the value of your home. This landscaping addition is so popular across the United States that there is an actual online calculator you can use to determine how much value a specific tree will bring to your home for Springfield, MO real estate sales.

Not only do these plants add aesthetics in the way of greenery, shade, and sometimes flowers and fruit, but they can also add a sound barrier between your home and the next. Visit treebenefit.com/calculator to see for yourself.

Driveways and Walkways

Having a newly paved driveway majorly boosts curb appeal; smooth, undamaged paths will do the same. Whether or not these updates will improve the overall appraisal of your home depends on the inspector, but it will certainly help create interest in your home and make open houses more appealing to shoppers.
