HAVING A WELL-MANI -MANICURED LAWN MAKES ALL OF THE DIFFERENCE
If your lawn is a brown expanse of dead, withered grass or an overgrown mess riddled with weeds, buyers will definitely not be attracted to your home. Therefore, having a well-manicured lawn that shows off just as much beauty as the rest of your home is essential. A lawn that appears too high maintenance can be a turn-off, so it’s best to go for a neat and attractive look. You don’t need to go overboard with the lawn care; instead, have the grass trimmed nicely and ensure it’s healthy. Having a simple garden around your home's perimeter is also a great idea. You can plant bright flowers to lighten up and bring a joyous feeling to your lawn area. If you have a garden or want to add a special touch to the landscape, throw down some mulch in a darker color, such as a solid, dark wood brown. Mulch helps to neaten things up and gives the area a “clean” feeling. Plus, mulch almost always looks good in nearly any setting when put down properly. You cannot go wrong with it, and it adds remarkable curb appeal. One thing to avoid when it comes to this area of curb appeal is too many lawn ornaments. It’s perfectly OK to have one or two in your garden, but if you have trinkets, statues, and decorations all over the place—especially garden gnomes—it will look tacky, cluttered, and uninviting. Even though the buyer knows the lawn ornaments don’t come with the house, they could still hesitate or walk away based on pure tackiness.
