Benefits of Curb Appeal

Investing in landscaping for curb appeal not only enhances the visual attractiveness of a home, but also provides practical and economic benefits of: increased property value, neighborhood appeal, first impressions when selling or simply having guests over, and personal enjoyment when you come home.

The entrance to a home starts at the street. An exceptional design makes an impression from afar and also close up.

Clients consider how open to the outer world they want their home to feel. Privacy can be created with gates, plants, and hardscaping. Here we utilized the sand dune for privacy.

When you approach a house, it should be clear how to get to the front door.

Materials and plants should match the aesthetic of the architecture.
