If you’re thinking about selling your home, one of the most important things to consider is your yard. A well-maintained and landscaped yard can be a major selling point for potential buyers – but how can you improve your yard if it’s not up to par? This guide explains three simple tips that will help you improve your yard before putting it on the market.
3 Tips for Improving Your Yard Before You Sell Your Home
Check out these three tips for improving your yard before you sell:
- Mow the lawn and trim the edges
- Pull weeds and add mulch or stone to landscaping beds
- Clean up any debris in the yard, including leaves, sticks, and toys
Here’s a closer look at each.
Yard Improvement Tip #1: Mow the Lawn and Trim the Edges to Make a Good First Impression on Buyers
One of the simplest things you can do to improve your yard is to make sure the grass is mowed and the edges are trimmed. This makes a big difference in terms of first impressions – potential buyers will see a well-kept lawn and assume that the rest of the property is just as well-maintained. If you have time, consider watering the lawn a day or two before showings so it’s extra green and luscious.
Yard Improvement Tip #2: Pull Weeds and Add Mulch or Stone to Landscaping Beds
Weeds can make even the most beautiful landscaping beds look unkempt. Take some time to pull weeds (or hire someone to do it for you) so that the beds are looking their best. You can also add mulch or stone to the beds as an extra touch – this will help them stand out and look even more polished.
Yard Improvement Tip #3: Clean Up Any Debris in the Yard, Including Leaves, Sticks, and Toys
No one wants to see leaves, sticks, and toys strewn about the yard – it looks messy and makes the property seem unkempt. Before showings, take some time to clean up any debris that’s accumulated in the yard. This will make a big difference in terms of first impressions.
