The Investment of a New Landscape

Plan for beauty and function in your yard

When considering investing in your landscape, you have a few questions to ask yourself before you get started.

• Why should you landscape your yard?
• How much do you want to invest?
• What type of design do you want to incorporate around your home?
• What trees should you plant and why should you plant them?

A couple of reasons that people want to redo their yard is to add trees and plants that add beauty and functionality to their landscape. A good landscape design should work for you and look great too.

It is vital to implement a comprehensive plan when it comes to installing trees and plants. Planning will ensure a smoother and safer project while making sure you will end up with your perfect yard. Once your project is complete, a new landscape will bring immense value to a home or property, increasing the value of your home or property up to 20% or more.

FUNCTIONALITY

Create Privacy

Every home or property should have a landscape that functions. Consider owning a home, and there's a 2-story window peeping right down into the pool or hot tub area. This is a significant issue, especially if your neighbor's house is RIGHT next to your home.

This uncomfortable situation is presented to us almost every day at Moon Valley. Blocking out that nuisance and other issues such as noise have become one of our specialties.

Lower Monthly Bills

Another problem we see is where a home has the sun beating on a living room window or some other room of a home. Suddenly, when the sun is beating down on the window and heating your home, the room is not very comfortable and may even become unbearable. Not only can trees shield off the sun, but they can also help lower electric bills throughout the summer. 

Increase Home Value

A healthy, well-designed landscape can make a world of difference when it functions for you. Not only will it work for you, but it will help increase the value of your property or home.

Consider a house that has similar issues and doesn't have the right trees or plants in their yard that may otherwise add shade and privacy to the property. That home may not sell for as much money and might even stay on the market longer, missing opportunities to make money and complete the home selling process.

Having a plan and installing the perfect trees is vital for every home or property. The proper trees and plants can make a huge difference. Implementing a plan and having trees and plants installed as soon as possible helps increase the value of your property or home.

BEAUTIFICATION

Add Curb Appeal

Beauty in your landscape is also essential, as curb appeal creates the WOW factor. In terms of color design or variations in the landscape design, curb appeal will increase the value of your home or property and the value of the neighborhood. We have seen this in many cases!

I don't know how many times I've had a customer fall in love and purchase a home because of a "particular look."

Consider Long Term Investment

Consider a house that is landscaped gorgeously with vibrant colors and variations of trees and plants, and another house is dark and dingy with little to nothing in their landscape. Which home would you want to purchase? The one that welcomes you; not the one that scares you away, right?

Buyer interest is essential to consider during your design process, even if you don't imagine selling your home for years. This is important for commercial properties too! A shopping center, for example, that is well designed with beautiful trees and plants, will be more inviting to new customers.

When it comes to Houston, Texas, we see this far and wide. As Houston is the 4th most populous city in the United States, you can imagine the real estate scene, both commercial and residential. Creating a beautiful landscape will increase the aesthetics, curb appeal, and ambiance within a home, thus making it more appealing and stand out, adding more value.
