With Spring just around the corner, the time has never been better to give those dormant flower beds a little bit of love, especially if you’re planning on putting your home on the market.
I’ve already written about the importance of curb appeal, but it’s a topic that’s significant enough to warrant a second look. When it comes to your yard’s vegetation, ask yourself whether you prefer to look at flower beds which are full of weeds and overgrown, or ones which are bursting with gorgeous flowers.
In short, when buyers decide to make an offer on your home, remember that they are often investing in a certain lifestyle just as much as the house itself. Therefore, since leading with a charming yard can make a great deal of difference, use flowers which will give you the most bang for your buck.
