Yard Makeover

yard-makeover-1

A yard makeover is a labor-intensive job for even the simplest of projects. However, yard work is easy to do, even though the work may be exhausting.  This makes making-over your yard a fantastic option for any family considering DIY home staging.

Outdoors is the best place to save some real money and still present a positive impression to potential buyers who come to view your home. Remember, the exterior home staging aspects are just as important as the interior and maybe even more so in some housing markets. Never neglect your front or backyard when selling your property.

This commentary provides simple fixes for common yard issues.

Yard Makeover Aspirations

Making over a yard may entail a bit of work or a complete overhaul:

Grass is nice on any property, as long as it is green and healthy. Patchy, dead or sparse grass is unaesthetic and should be replaced with new sod. Do not seed the lawn. This will take too long to produce good results and will look awful until the grass fully grows in.  Sod is cheap and easy to install, making it an ideal solution.

Remove any ugly or dead trees and shrubs, as these will not endear any buyer to your home. Replace them with inexpensive items from your local garden center. An investment of a few hundred dollars in landscaping materials can make a huge change in the outdoor space around your house.

Finally, finish off with a natural touch by planting some fresh flowers in colorful shades around your home. Put some in the beds and others in cheerful containers near the main entranceway, garage and alternate entrances to your house.

 

Yard Makeover Ideas

If you pavement is cracked or damaged, it should be replaced or repaired. Driveways, walkways and pathways can all be easily fixed with blacktop sealer, concrete caulking or new cement. New walkways can be made from natural stone or slate. Although these projects might seem difficult, they are actually very easy. They will take some time and effort, since the physical labor can be tough.

If you have an old rusty swingset or pool, now is the time to get rid of it. Leaving up these remnants of childhoods long past is a real problem when selling a home. No buyer wants to have to remove an old playset, jungle gym or above ground pool as a housewarming present. Take the time to demolish and remove these eyesores and you will have no worries when it comes to selling your home.

 

Yard Makeover Experiences

Ok, as a final thought, make absolutely positive that you keep the yard neat and clean. This is the easiest part, but is also the most neglected by sellers. Every day, take a moment or two to go outside and clean any garbage and debris off your property. Organize any children’s toys lying about and always remove garbage cans to a covered shed. This little bit of care will keep your yard looking fabulous day and night.
