It’s not about your paint color or fancy hot tub, or the type of drapes you purchase. If you really want to maximize on your property values, I’ve got two words for you — curb appeal.

Curb appeal creates the first impression that will make buyers want to put in an offer on your property when you list it. By learning some crucial curb appeal strategies, you can guarantee that your home will go from ho-hum to sold.

Start with these strategies to make sure you are doing everything you can to master curb appeal landscaping.

Create a Beautiful, Colorful, Flourishing Flower Bed

Natural flowers stop people in their tracks.

Rather than simply buying a few readily-sprouted flowers, buy some bulbs and start planting your flowers seasons in advance, so that they flourish year-round.

Take some time to learn about the different species and types of flowers, and mix and match the colors as much as possible. This will create an incredible appearance and vibe for your property and will provide an excellent welcome that invites people into your property.

You can set up flower beds along your porch and plant entire flower bushes around the perimeter of your property. Either way, this will be a huge winner when it comes to building rock solid curb appeal.

Make Your Driveway Solid, Decorative and Functional

Your driveway is also incredibly important when you are trying to build curb appeal for your property. Because of this, put some thought into the driveway that you build.

For instance, do you need to fit a couple of cars, or do you want a wide driveway that can easily fit four or five cars when you have guests over?

You should also determine what sort of material you create the driveway with. This may involve buying some concrete mix and going the DIY route, or bringing in a driveway professional for further help.

Some people prefer brick pavers, while others want solid concrete. Make sure that you build some steps and lights that also offer a great accent for the driveway.

Above all, maintain your driveway regularly through sealing, cleanings and more.

Focus on Your Lawn and Trees

Plants provide fresh, sweet air to your property that creates a sense of euphoria. They also decorate your property with a splash of nature that you can’t get without a little bit of TLC.

Touch base with an arborist that can plant some trees that will last throughout several seasons and for several years. Make sure that they come back for trimmings and prunings so that the tree is well maintained.

Be sure to also plant grass seed so that your lawn is fresh and green, and that you always take the time to mow it, rake the leaves and handle your lawn maintenance on your terms.
