5 Reasons to Landscape Your New Home

Increase your home value up to 15%.

According to the American Society of Landscape Architects, landscapes can add as much as 15% to the value of your home compared to other houses on your street. If you’re unsure what to budget, one rule of thumb is to start with 5 to 10 percent of your home’s worth.

Prevent a decrease in home value.

A 2021 U.S. realtor study found that poor landscaping can decrease your home’s value by 10%. In Iowa, that’s a median decrease of $133,000.

Maximize your return by investing in the right features.

More than 1200 real estate agents advise that the most important landscaping elements for the value of your home are trees, plants, and mulch. The most important hardscape elements are patios, outdoor kitchens, and firepits.

Differentiate your home from the neighborhood.

A recent survey found that improved curb appeal can differentiate a home in a subdivision of similar house styles, and quality landscaping results in a higher selling price than homes with minimal landscaping.

Optimize your home's value with design sophistication and mature plants.

Investing in a landscape design expert is the highest-ranked factor that adds to the perceived value of a home, and the value of landscape investment increases over time as trees and shrubs mature.
