The Value of Landscaping
Whether you have just moved into a new home or are about to sell your current home, landscaping is important. Not only are there several environmental and possible health benefits to having a well-maintained yard, such as production of oxygen and reduction of stress, but there are also financial benefits.
Mature trees and lush grass reduce heat, both around and inside your home, which helps reduce your energy consumption, saving you money. Similarly, landscaping can reduce the amount of sediment loss due to water erosion, in turn protecting your home from foundation issues and your budget from costly repairs. Most surprisingly, a well-landscaped yard can increase your home’s value by as much as 13% according to the Appraisal Institute. This is a significant amount when selling your home. Landscaping helps make your home's first impression to prospective buyers.
Having decided to improve your home’s landscape is a wise investment, but what you plant is equally as important. Choosing plants that are native, or indigenous, to the region you live in is great way to save money by reducing the need for maintenance—less water consumption, less fertilizer, and less insecticides. Some cities in Texas even offer rebates, grants, and free tools to encourage its residents to create native landscapes and rain-scapes, such as Austin.
Now is the perfect time for all North Texans to start drafting their designs (check out TexasSmartScape for help) and purchasing plants for their improved landscapes. Collin County Master Gardeners Association is about to kick off its 2021 spring sale, beginning on March 27th and ending on April 10 th , do not miss this opportunity!
