Riverside Gardens Increase Curb Appeal, and Home Values
Graham & Kelly Levine May 6, 2013
Have you heard of "curb appeal"? Curb appeal is the impression your home gives when someone drives up to it. And like it or not, visitors are forming opinions about your home, before they even open the car door. Updating your Riverside garden landscaping is not just about good looks. Home value can also increase with a fine-tuned and maintained yard.
Before hiring a landscape designer to reconstruct your Riverside garden, it's helpful to put together a list of questions. You might want to share images of design styles and verify license and insurance, as well. The right landscaping combines local elements and weather conditions, as well as energy efficiency.
Your outdoor landscaping can also serve as a sound or visual barrier. Many options are available from furniture placement to the planting of tall shrubs along a home's border.
According to Better Homes and Gardens, the Top Trends for Your Riverside Garden in 2013 Include:
