As far as first impressions go, a well-maintained, notable landscape is extremely important. Your landscaping is the first thing a guest sees when arriving at your home and the last scene they see when departing. To achieve a positive, memorable first impression, homeowners should not only invest on the inside of their property, but the exterior and landscaping as well.

Selling

When selling, one of the best things to do is to freshen up the landscape to give a great first impression to future buyers and to increase your resale value. If a buyer sees an overgrown, unkempt jungle in the front of the home, they are most likely going to think that the inside of the home is the same way.  It immediately turns potential buyers off and leaves your property in a negative light for the rest of the tour. Pruning or removing overgrown shrubs and weeds is very influential, as this action helps your landscape look neat and tidy. Additionally, many new homeowners prefer a blank canvas when it comes to landscaping; this way, they can create their own vision to meet their personal outdoor tastes.

Friends & Family

When guests, neighbors, and family see your property for the first time, the way your house looks and feels to them at that moment will last in their minds for years. This is the reason why homeowners should strive to wow guests that are invited to their home for the first time. Though the removal/pruning of overgrown shrubs and weeds are a must (especially around walkways and entrances to the home), we recommend investing in the creation of an outdoor livable space. This can include a patio, decorative fire pit, pergola, and walkways. These additions to your new home will make your house the choice location for family get-togethers, barbecues, and parties.

The home is the main course and the landscape is the garnishments to make the main course more appetizing!

Whatever landscaping goals you hope to accomplish for your home, remember that any exterior work that you do should complement the existing features of your home. When a new guest visits your home for the first time, he or she should feel as though the transition between outdoor and indoor living is seamless. Accomplish this and guests’ first impression of your home will be one of captivation for years to come.

Landscape renovation can certainly beautify the exterior of your home. However, many people neglect the fact that the proper design and installation of a landscape project can also lead to better enjoyment of the area surrounding your house. By creating walkways, patios, fireplaces, pergolas and even full kitchens, Integrity Landscape Services, LLC can help transform your yard into a beautiful and outdoor living space.

When most people think of an outdoor living space, the first thing that comes to mind is a brick patio. The professionally-installed patios that we design not only enhance the aesthetic attributes of your home, but they also allow you to spend more of your daily life in the beautiful outdoors.

Pergolas help to provide shade to living spaces and are especially wonderful during the summer. These structures are extremely durable while maintaining a high level of craftsmanship and detail. Installing a pergola will maximize your delight as you enjoy your cool comfortable outdoor living area.

Having an area that is dedicated to preparing food will make your home the choice location for family and neighborhood get-togethers. Gas grills, sinks and freezers can all be implemented into your patio’s existing brick color combinations for a look that will truly make you love spending time outside while cooking for friends and family.
