Americans love homes with lush lawns, but it takes more than a great lawn to make the most of your property. A quality landscape design and installation can transform your property and make it more suitable for your home or business. Installing a quality landscape isn’t cheap, but it offers many great rewards. Here’s what makes investing in a new landscape for your home, vacation property, or place of business an excellent choice.

Improves Property Value

When you work with a local sod company to install a quality landscape, you improve your property’s value by a significant margin. According to Bankrate, a professionally installed landscape can improve a property’s value by 20% or more. The improvement in property value adds up to tens of thousands of dollars or more in equity. If you're looking to sell your property soon, then you can recoup much of the investment when someone buys it.

Creates Outdoor Living Space

You can include a patio, deck, or pool deck as part of your landscaping design to create an outdoor living space. A patio or a deck is popular for entertaining friends and family and relaxing outside when the weather is nice. You can install a covered patio or deck and include a fire pit, outdoor kitchen, or heat lamps to make it usable throughout the year.

Enhances Your Property’s Beauty

A well-designed and built landscape makes your property more useful while enhancing its beauty. You can enjoy spring blossoms and fall colors when trees, shrubs, and plants are part of your new landscape. Flower beds and aromatic plants can tantalize your sense of smell while encouraging you to spend more time outside to enjoy the scenic beauty. Additionally, trees and shrubs that have been strategically planted by a local sod company can stop the sun from beating down on your home and its windows, meaning you can enjoy some sweet shade.

Improves Your Privacy

Trees, shrubs, and hedges can make an effective screen against passersby on nearby roadways, sidewalks, or neighboring properties. Retaining walls and terraces can also help create private outdoor spaces that enable your family to enjoy time outdoors without being concerned about prying eyes. When night falls, shrubs and hedges can make it harder for people to see through your windows and inside your home. Improved privacy adds up to increased security.
