The state of your lawn and landscaping can have a significant effect on the overall look of your home. If you want the exterior of your home to look clean and up-to-date, you will need to make changes and improvements from time to time. This could mean changing the paint color of your home, getting a new roof or changing other elements, but it may also mean updating and changing your landscaping. Old landscaping may no longer match your current vision for your home, and you may need to freshen up the overall scheme.
There are simple yet effective things that you can do that will liven up your landscaping scheme and add to the visual appeal of your home. If you think that your yard is looking tired or your landscaping needs a refresh, the following are helpful steps:
- Change out your annual plants every year or as needed.
- Change perennials every few years, and add new mulch as needed.
- Evaluate shrubs and other plants for signs of blight, fungus and other problems.
- Remove unhealthy trees and replace them with better, fuller options.
In addition to your landscaping elements, you may need to update and replace your hardscape elements as well. You may need to clean and seal pavers, pressure wash your driveway, replace curbing or even paint certain things to improve their look.
