Keeping up with landscaping is just as important as maintaining the rest of your home. Your lawn is the very first thing visitors will notice, and regular care in this area can earn you a 10% to 12% return if you decide to sell sometime in the future. Below are just a few unique designs you can implement around your property.

3 Landscaping Ideas to Improve Your Curb Appeal

1. Unique Lighting Fixtures

Lighting is a wonderful landscaping tool that highlights the architectural design of your home and the property around it. Offset pathway lights softly illuminate walkways and key points around your home without blocking the natural moonlight. You could also add hanging pendant lights over specific focal areas like a patio or near trees.

2. Colored Stone Walkways

While you could use conventional grey concrete to create the paths around your home, adding color to walkways will breathe some life into your hardscaping. Popular trends include creating patchwork effects that wind through gardens and using large pieces of stone in shades of red or blue to make a dramatic entryway.

3. Hardscaping

Hardscaping can be used to improve both the look of your yard and the way it functions. For example, if you have a small yard, a pergola or trellis can provide vertical space for plants to grow. If you like to regularly hang out in your backyard with friends or family, adding an outdoor fireplace to your patio could be a way to maintain your gatherings as the weather cools.
