A well-kept lawn isn’t just about aesthetics; there are a number of homeowner benefits to landscaping:
Increase Property Value
First impressions matter when it comes to a home! Landscape design not only boosts curb appeal but can also add up to 20% to a home’s value – good news for homes on the market. Strategic landscape design can also discourage residential crime. Homeowners can deter would-be burglars by trimming overgrown shrubs and using well-placed outdoor lighting, as well as growing thorny or prickly plants and using gravel as mulch under windows.
Lower Energy Costs
A well-designed landscape can help control temperature extremes. Grass lawns are cooler than asphalt and cement, while trees provide shade during the hottest times of the day. These cooling effects lower the overall temperature of urban areas and can lower utility bills. Trees can also block cold winds to help decrease heating costs in winter. Conservation tactics such as Waterwise plants and the proper grouping of plants based on water needs can minimize consumption.
Improve the Environment
Grass, trees, shrubs and flowers reduce air pollution by removing carbon dioxide from the air and producing oxygen. Healthy lawns can reduce potential flooding and act as runoff buffers, absorbing and reducing the flow of pollutants and sediment that might filter into nearby bodies of water. Landscape design can also incorporate plants that benefit local wildlife by providing food and shelter sources for bees, birds, butterflies and more.
Boost Quality of Life
Landscaping can improve time spent at home by adding outdoor living space, reducing noise pollution and blocking unsightly views. Creating an outdoor oasis can relax and rejuvenate the mind and body. The sights and sounds of the outdoors can calm the mind, relieve anxiety and improve concentration. Landscapes can also foster a healthy, active lifestyle. Growing vegetables can motivate families to eat healthier, and patios and lawns encourage outdoor playtime, entertaining and dining.
