Summer is upon us and with it comes high heat, beach days, and those summer storms. There are more ways to get ready for summer than just putting on sunscreen (which you should still definitely do!). Experience the benefits of professional landscaping services. Whether you’re a year-round resident, seasonal, or even thinking of moving, a manicured and cared for landscape can give your property a hefty boost.

“Landscaping can add as much as 14% to the resale value of a building and speed its sale by as much as 6 weeks.” says the Associated Landscape Contractors of America. The value of a home or business increases nearly every aspect of the sale. From the moment potential buyers see the manicured property their impression and expectations are increased. Make the best first impression even before they walk in the door. The Associated Landscape Contractors of America goes on to say that, “Properly selected and placed plants can lower home heating and cooling costs by as much as 20%.” That’s a big savings and a definite win-win. As summer comes in full swing, save on cooling costs with helpful plants around your property.

According to Smart Money, “By spending 5% of the value of your home on the installation of a quality low maintenance landscape, you could boost the resale value by 15%, earning back 150% or more of your landscape investment.” Just as the above statistic illustrated, investing in professional landscaping services may even result in high asking and sales prices. This not only cancels out the cost of the actual landscaping but increases the overall sale. Who doesn’t want that!
