You may think that the only thing that makes your property value go up is the area and locality in which it’s situated. However, there are numerous other factors that contribute to the value of your property, starting with what it looks like on the outside. It’s not just about the structure and color of your house, but also the surrounding area around it - which is your garden. 

Whether your garden is small and compact or large, there are many different ways in which you can enhance it to look more gorgeous and inviting, thereby increasing the property value as well. In this blog, we’re going to walk you through several tips and tricks that will help you create the garden of your dreams - let’s get started!

 

1. Make the garden as green as you can

The best way to catch anyone’s eye is to make your home look super green and lucious on the outside. People are so tired of seeing concrete buildings and towers everywhere they turn, and seeing a house that has some greenery including well-maintained garden edging, is what immediately attracts everyone’s attention.

To do this, all you need to do is plant as many trees and shrubs as you have space for. Don’t be worried about how long it will take for the trees and plants to go - most trees grow to a considerable degree within the first month of planting.

If possible, try to plant fruit trees as these will give you utility as well as aesthetic value in the long run. After all, a property’s value will automatically skyrocket if it comes with a fruit orchard. 

 

2. Add a lawn with grass of your choice

Instead of having a concrete pathway all around the garden, add a lawn to make the place look more wholesome and inviting. Not only will this make the garden look more refreshing and natural, but will also encourage insects and other garden organisms to grow and thrive. You can also choose a grass which does not need much maintenance and water, so this will reduce the amount of work you need to put in to maintain it. 

 

3. Add a small water body

One of the best ways to instantly increase your property’s value is by adding a water feature to your garden. This doesn’t mean that you need to go all out and install a 7-feet water fountain (unless you have the space for it), but even creating a mini pond where you can have Goldfish or Koi will immediately make the place look more beautiful. 

Depending on the space you have, you can decide on the width and depth of the pond. Also be sure to add in the necessary safety measures to make sure no one accidentally trips and falls into the pond. It also helps to add beautiful water plants to the pond, as this will make it look more natural and also act as food for the fish you put in it. 

 

4. Add furniture and lighting

The final touch you would need to add to your garden is the seating and lighting. You can either purchase garden furniture and place it in your lawn or near the pond, or even add rustic seats made out of tree stumps instead of chairs and tables. 

It also helps to add lighting wherever it seems necessary - this will help you enjoy your garden even when it’s dark. There are many different landscape lightings you can choose from, and also choose tiny spotlight lamps for your pond - this way you can also enjoy seeing your fish in the evening. 

Once you're done, you can also get an expert opinion from realtors who will be able to give you a correct estimate of how much your property worth has increased since you’ve invested in your garden decor and maintenance.
