If you’re planning to sell your Main Line Philadelphia home, you may be wondering what types of improvements would provide you with a good financial return on your home investment upon resale. According to home renovation expert Bob Vila, the right landscaping can increase your home’s value substantially — some experts say by as much as 5 to 15 percent. As one of the leading landscaping companies in the area, Aardweg Landscaping can help you create a look that is sure to draw in potential buyers.

Up to 10 percent of your home’s value can be wisely spent on landscaping and hardscaping design and installation. The work often goes beyond simply adding plants, as landscape design includes lighting, hardscaping, and water features. When all of these elements are combined in a landscape design, the stunning result helps your property stand out from every other one in your neighborhood. If your property needs to be screened for privacy you may consider having this done before placing it on the market to make it more attractive to potential buyers.

What is the ROI on landscaping? BHG.com says, “…5-15 percent is only a rough guideline based on averages. Generally, more expensive homes have greater potential to increase in value from a well-designed and well-installed landscape. Remember that hardscape features (which can cost big bucks) such as pavers, stone walls, decks, and patios — are part of the landscape investment.”

Qualified landscaping companies such as ours will begin with an assessment of your property. This initial assessment will involve looking at your terrain features and existing plant life in order to establish a basic plan. We proceed to work together with the homeowner to create a stunning design you will love.

The homeowner’s opinions and preferences are of utmost importance in the design process.
