5 Ways to Boost Your Home’s Curb Appeal

5 Ways to Boost Your Home's Curb Appeal

Whether you’re hoping to sell your home in the near future or want to list it down the road, its value will eventually come into play. Good curb appeal is one of the best ways to attract buyers and increase your asking price, so it’s an essential factor that you shouldn’t ignore. If your home isn’t looking its best, here are five ways you can boost its curb appeal.

1. Plant Some Foliage

If your yard is just a sea of green grass, you want to break that up and give your yard a bit more diversity. One way to do that is to plant a variety of trees, flowers, and shrubs. Choose plants with different colored flowers that bloom throughout the year. Additionally, plant things that are of different heights and shapes. The variety will give on-lookers plenty to look at while boosting your curb appeal.

2. Paint Your Home

Depending on what part of the country you live in and your climate, you will need to repaint your home every five to 10 years. You could try to simply powerwash the dirt and grime off of your home, but if you haven’t painted it in a long time, you’ll likely find that washing it only highlights its wear and tear even more.

When choosing an Arizona painting company, make sure you go with a licensed, insured company with good online reviews. Don’t choose a company simply because they have the lowest prices. Paying more for quality work is always worth it in the long run.

3. Hide Your Trash Cans

Even though everyone has some, no one really wants to look at trash cans. If you don’t have space in your garage for them, build a small alcove on the side of the house to keep them tucked away. You can use pallets or large pieces of lattice placed over a simple wood frame. Make sure you use an outside paint and varnish on the alcove to ensure it stays looking great for years to come.

4. Update the Lighting

Ensuring your home looks good at night is just as important as ensuring it looks good during the day. In fact, many homeowners have reported that they would pay more for a home with updated outdoor lighting. Choose large outside lights that adequately illuminate your front and back areas, and invest in other smaller lights that you place around your property. If you have a path in your front or back yard, add lights along it to help enhance the look of your yard while ensuring you can walk on the path safely at night.

5. Work on the Landscaping

Nothing destroys your curb appeal quite as fast as unmowed grass and weeds growing out of control do. To help your house look its best, keep your lawn mowed and the weeds in your flower beds and around trees and bushes pulled. If you hate pulling weeds, lay down some mulch to help keep them under control.

Even if you aren’t selling your home anytime soon, you should still work on its curb appeal. With a little bit of work and some continued upkeep, you’ll find you have a home that is the envy of the neighborhood.
