The cover of a book matters.
How you dress for a job interview matters.
The landscaping around your home matters as well.
Whether you are selecting a book from a crowded library shelf, presenting yourself as the best candidate for a new job, or getting ready to sell your home, appearances matter. And while the books that you read may not impact your financial future, the choices you make in how you dress for an interview or how you landscape your yard do. In fact, there is a growing amount of research that indicates that the landscaping of your home can have a significant impact on the return on investment (ROI) that you will see in the future. Some experts even believe that outdoor landscaping may be one of the most important investments you make in your home. From plants, trees, and shrubs, to mulch choices, the houses in some subdivisions are so similar that it is the landscaping that can add personality and sophistication to a property.
Fortunately, many landscaping companies make use of bark blowers and blowing high quality landscape materials to fill in landscaped areas in a way that looks both uniform and professional.
The Right Kind of Landscaping Can Help You Add Value to Your Home
Bark blowers and other landscaping tools help create attractive areas for home owners, parks, school, and commercial properties. Finding the right landscaping choices is a process, however, that takes both time and patience. You want to make sure that you get recommendations from friends or family and that you have a plan ahead of time about what kind of budget you are working with.
The latest research indicates that 83% of Americans think having a yard is important. in addition, 90% of those with a yard think it is important that it is also well-maintained. And while landscaping is an investment, spending as little as 5% of a home’s value on landscaping may yield a return on investment (ROI) of as much as 150%. In fact, landscaping can increase a home’s resale value by as much as 14%.
In addition to adding value to a property, landscaping can also make sure that your home sends the right message to the neighbors. In fact, 67% of Americans agree that professional landscaping would allow them to have a nicer yard, according to a recent survey by Harris Poll for the National Association of Landscape Professionals. How your yard look matters as much as how you dress for an interview and the cover of a book. Selecting a landscaper that has machines like bark blowers can help you make sure that your yard has a professional look.
Once you have had the landscaping that you want installed, it is also important to make sure that you have the right plans in place to keep your landscaping looking its best. For instance, landscapers recommend that new bark dust is applied every two to four years, depending on the type of bark and how well the space is maintained.
