Now that it’s Spring and hopefully Spring weather will be on the way soon, it’s time to start thinking about landscaping projects. Landscaping is a great way to add both curb appeal and value to your home. All good landscaping starts with a lush lawn. An ugly yard brings down your home’s value, while a lovely lawn creates an excellent first impression and actually raises the value of your property. To bring up the value of your lawn on your own start by removing any trash, clutter, dead plants and weeds from the area. Spread seed or sod in areas that are just dirt patches and follow up by watering and mowing your lawn consistently. Look for lawn maintenance products such as fertilizers, etc. at your local home improvement store and use them for maximum impact. If you have the money, consider hiring a lawn professional who can treat your lawn for pests and fertilize it. Just keep in mind that proper watering and consistent maintenance is the key to a healthy lawn.
