Resources for Realtors & Home Buyers/Sellers

Selling your home?

Statistics show landscape rehabilitation can increase property value by 10-12%, with strategic/sophisticated designs boosting value by 20%.

  • Days on Market: A study by the National Gardening Association found that homes with appealing landscaping can sell 6 weeks faster than homes without. This can save sellers money on holding costs, such as utilities and property taxes.
  • Enhanced Curb Appeal: According to a survey by HomeLight, 63% of real estate agents suggest curb appeal is the most significant factor in a home’s sale. A thoughtfully maintained yard, including crisp edges, vibrant plants, and well-designed hardscaping, creates a welcoming well-cared-for impression that can influence the initial perception of the property and improves marketability.
  • Higher ROI: A study by the University of Virginia found that homeowners can expect a 109% return on landscaping investment, based on the increased value of their home. 
  • Therapeutic Benefits: While not a direct financial return, a study by the Royal Society of Medicine found that gardening can reduce stress and improve mental health, leading to a more enjoyable home-selling experience.

Buying a new home?

Now that you are settled in, restore your ecosystem’s health & improve functionality within your landscape, to encourage time spent in your personalized Eden.

  • Properly Manicured Landscape: Keeping landscape maintenance top of mind is crucial in saving money long-term and reducing annoyances.
  • Functional Outdoor Spaces: Adding luxury items such as pergolas, flagstones, water features, saunas, or outdoor kitchens can extend the usable living space of a home, increasing its value and appeal to potential buyers.
  • Environmental Benefits: Landscape rehabilitation can also improve the home’s environmental impact. Trees can reduce energy costs by providing shade and windbreaks, and they also absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, contributing to cleaner air. According to the U.S. Forest Service, a mature tree can provide the daily oxygen requirements for four people.
