5 Low Maintenance Landscaping Ideas to Boost the Curb Appeal

The real estate market has begun to improve, however it is still tough for homeowners who are interested to sell their homes to achieve a positive gain. One way to increase the value of your home in the market is to increase its curb appeal through removing clutter and making your home stand out from others.

Here are 5 low maintenance ideas to boost the curb appeal of your home.

1. Redo Your Driveway with Rock or Stones
   Driveways will eventually age and crack. This leads to the driveway becoming an eye sore for neighbors. Stamped concrete is one of the options that will help your yard stand out. Paving stones can provide that high-end look. Paving stones may also allow for simple future repairs.

2. Manage Weeds
   Regardless of whether you choose herbicide or a natural control option, it is important that you manage the weeds around your home. You should spray driveway cracks, and pull up existing weeds.

3. Adding a Gate or Fence
   Adding these features will help to increase the curb appeal of your home. Fence panels are easy to install, and can be painted to match the look of your home.

4. Use Synthetic Grass
   Artificial turf is becoming more and more popular. You can have a lush lawn that does not need mowing, weeding, or watering. Synthetic grass is a convenient option for those who cannot dedicate a lot of time to their yard.

5. Drought Resistant Plants
   These durable plants are able to thrive naturally in your area, and a good way to add color to your yard with little maintenance requirements.
