While expensive\nrenovations of the kitchen and bathrooms can be useful, they usually don\u2019t\nrecoup more in value than you spend. Meanwhile, landscaping improvements are\nguaranteed to get you back all your costs and then some.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is because landscaping is becoming\never more important to the next generation of homebuyers. Not only is the\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kravelv.com\/5-ways-to-spruce-up-a-homes-exterior\/\" class=\"wpil_internal_link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">exterior of your home<\/a> what visitors first see \u2014 which forms their first\nimpression of the property \u2014 but your landscape can function as another place\nto live and entertain. If you are looking for some high-value updates to make\nto your home, here are some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kravelv.com\/tropically-themed-pool-landscaping-ideas-2016\/\" class=\"wpil_internal_link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">landscaping ideas<\/a> to get you started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Impressive Doors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The doors and windows of your home aren\u2019t\nonly functional; they also lend your exterior vital personality and style. If\nyour doors are old and outdated, it is probably time for an upgrade. One of the\nhottest front door trends is steel and glass, which makes an impressive and\neye-catching statement. You might also consider updating your garage door,\nwhich recoups 98 percent of your costs <a href=\"https:\/\/www.remodeling.hw.net\/cost-vs-value\/2019\/\">according to\nRemodeling Magazine<\/a>. Your garage door should match the style of your home,\nbut dark colors, lots of windows and energy efficiency are all big pluses to\nbuyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Healthy Lawn<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kravelv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/healthy-lawn.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11529\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Every home should have a lawn, but if you\nwant your property to stand out, your lawn should be and healthier than the\nrest. Unfortunately, lawns require near-constant maintenance to grow their\ngreenest, which means you either need to devote your days to lawn care, or you\nneed to hire an expert. You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trugreen.com\/local-lawn-care\/illinois\/peoria\">search online\nfor lawn care near me<\/a> to find lawn care professionals who know what your\ntype of grass needs. A good-looking lawn boosts a home\u2019s value by more than\n$1,000, which makes the extra expense worthwhile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Large, Old Trees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is something inexplicably charming\nabout old shade trees, so you should give your property a few. It\u2019s most\ncost-effective to raise a tree from a five-foot height because at that stage,\ntrees are still relatively small and cheap but they will grow tall and\nmagnificent in just a few years. You should opt for trees that are indigenous\nto your region, which will require less care and upkeep than non-native trees.\nYou should plant your trees between 15 and 20 feet from your house to enjoy the\nmaximum impact on your energy bills and avoid too much debris falling on your\nroof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An In-ground Fire Pit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kravelv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/firepit.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11528\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Outdoor\nliving is a major landscape renovation trend, but if you don\u2019t have the space\nfor a full kitchen and living space in your yard, you can almost certainly add\nan in-ground fire pit. Fire pits create a sense of camaraderie as well as a\nfocal point for your yard\u2019s entertainment area. You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prudentpennypincher.com\/70-best-diy-fire-pits\/\">DIY a simple\nfire pit using bricks or stones<\/a>, or you can have a professional build a\nfire pit replete with gas burner into your existing patio. In either case,\nyou\u2019ll enjoy a hefty increase in home value because of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Larger Deck or Patio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is another valuable update triggered\nby the outdoor living trend. If you have the budget and space, it\u2019s a good idea\nto increase the size of your outdoor entertaining area. If you can\u2019t increase\nthe size of your current deck or patio, you might hardscape another area of\nyour yard using gravel or pavers as well as a covering like a pergola. While\nthis is a larger investment in your landscaping, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nar.realtor\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/2018-05-remodeling-impact-outdoor-features-05-23-2018.pdf\">National\nAssociation of Realtors and the National Association of Landscape Professionals<\/a>\nattest that you\u2019ll recoup between 69 and 76 percent of your costs in your increased\nhome value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dramatic Lighting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While you might <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kravelv.com\/home-landscaping-design-tips\/\" class=\"wpil_internal_link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">landscape your home<\/a> based\non its appearance during the day, you and your guests will most often see the\nexterior of your home in the evening and at night. That means you should\nstrongly consider adding lighting to your landscaping to highlight important\nfeatures and add drama. Your first priority should be illuminating paths and\nproviding light to entertaining areas, perhaps by hanging string lights over\nyour patio or deck. Then, you should consider installing up-lights on taller\nelements of your landscape, like trees and trellises. This will show off the\nhard work you put into your landscape and create an attractive scene in your\nyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have worked on your landscaping,\nyou can turn your attention to other renovation projects inside your home.\nUntil then, you should prioritize making your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kravelv.com\/tips-to-choose-the-perfect-landscape-contractor-in-budget-for-best-landscape-designing\/\" class=\"wpil_internal_link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">landscape absolutely perfect<\/a> to\nincrease your home\u2019s value by leaps and bounds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you want to increase the value of your home, you should immediately start thinking about what updates you can make to the exterior.
