How To Increase Your Kerb Appeal Through Garden Landscaping

The first impression of any home often begins on the front kerb or pavement. If one of your New Year resolutions is to increase the kerb appeal of your home, there are a few ways you can achieve this. You could resurface your driveway, give your exterior walls a fresh layer of paint or install a new colourful front door. However, one of the most effective ways is through garden landscaping. In this article, we will break down the aspects of garden landscaping and discuss how each one can increase the kerb appeal of your home. 

Flowers & Plants

If your front garden is looking dull or lifeless, then it’s time to add what is missing! Flower beds, shrubs and trees do wonders when it comes to increasing your kerb appeal. Not only do flowers and plants add visual interest, brightness, colour and aroma to attract passersby and visitors, you might also attract nearby wildlife. Unfortunately, not every household has the luxury of a front garden. In these cases, the addition of hanging baskets and flower pots around your front door can have a similar effect.

Pathways

There is something about pathways that makes a home more appealing, inviting and welcoming. Pathways practically guide visitors to your front door, but this isn’t the only thing it can do, they can also increase your kerb appeal. Whether you choose a winding or straight path from the kerb to your front door, they add visual interest, colour and texture, increasing your overall kerb appeal. Plus, pathways also prevent visitors and delivery drivers from walking on your manicured lawn or trampling your precious flowers! 

Fencing

Homeowners mainly add fencing to their property to separate their property from their neighbours or for privacy and security purposes. Yet, fencing can also increase your kerb appeal because it comes in various styles, materials and colours such as oak wooden fencing. With the right choice of fencing, it can secure your property and complement the design or colour theme of your home style.

Garden Redesign

A new year can mean a new garden. If your front garden looks desperate for a makeover, you should consider a garden redesign. This includes planning, clearing the site and preparation as well as the actual installation of new features and adding the finishing touches. Garden redesigns are often a bespoke approach, allowing homeowners to see their ideas come to life and working with expert gardening designers. A well-designed and aesthetically pleasing garden is sure to attract guests and visitors.
