Does your lawn have the curb appeal to seal the deal?

___

While many homebuyers prefer not to appear superficial, it’s a fact of real estate life that curb appeal can make or break a sale. That manicured lawn, those meticulously trimmed shrubs — they're not just for impressing the neighbors. They're probably the first thing potential buyers see, setting the tone for the rest of the house tour.

Southern U.S. landscape specialists Fairway Lawns, says, “Think about it this way: you wouldn't show up to a job interview in your pajamas, right? The exterior of your home is like your professional attire when it comes to selling. It needs to look sharp, polished, and ready to impress.”

These landscapers have seen it all when it comes to curb appeal, knowing that a little bit of TLC can mean the difference between a bidding war and a home that stays too long on the market. Their tips for making sure your lawn is ready for its close-up:

  1. Prune and shape your mature trees and shrubs. They are a major selling point only if they're healthy and well-maintained. “Overgrown hedges and unruly branches can make your home look neglected.” Look for a local landscaper’s tree and shrub care program that ensures your greenery is in tip-top shape.

  2. You only get one opportunity to make a first impression. That first glimpse of your home as buyers approach the front door is crucial. Bright, colorful plantings and a weed-free walkway will draw the eye and make them eager to see what's inside.

  3. Throw a new mulch layer down to instantly refresh the look of your flower beds and planter areas, creating a cohesive, polished appearance. Plus, it helps your plants and trees stay healthy.

  4. A water feature like a fountain or birdbath can be a real showstopper, but only if it's clean and in working order. No one wants to see algae-filled, neglected water features.

  5. Stay on top of mowing, edging, and general lawn maintenance to make sure your green space is as appealing as possible.

Fairway Lawns reminds you that you're not just selling a house; you're selling a lifestyle. “That lifestyle starts the moment buyers pull up to the curb. When you observe these basic tenets, you’ll make sure your home's exterior is ready to seal the deal.
