If your landscaping has stayed the same but you’re on your fourth hairstyle and fifth pair of jeans, you probably have some outdated landscaping.
Take a close look. Any red mulch out there? Overly clipped shrubs? So many ornamental grasses people mistake your place for a garden center?
Landscape design trends change.
So your yard is so huge an airplane could safely land. You could host a pro football game. People mistake it for a sod farm.
Plant the wrong tree too close to your house, and you could be living a scene from a Godzilla movie: your foundation cracked, your house heaving, roots on a rampage!
Is it OK to plant trees near a house? What kind of trees won’t damage your foundation?
Everybody thinks about flowers out front when it’s summer, but when it comes to attracting attention to your commercial property, think bigger.
Selling your house? You’re probably surrounded by cans of paint and busy clearing out closets.
Don’t forget your front yard. Landscaping plays a huge part in selling a house.
Think about it. Potential homebuyers see your lawn, your garden beds and your front walkway long before they get a peek at that half bath you just remodeled.

What are the best landscape projects to increase resale value? And how much of a difference can sprucing up your curb appeal really make?
