The Outside of your Home
The exterior of your home is the first impression people have about you and your household. Your home should show your personality but also be presentable to others in order to maintain the overall value. When the outside of your home is a mess, chances are, people will assume the inside is as well. On the other hand, if it is too perfect, potential visitors may be intimidated by the appearance. By simply maintaining the exterior of your home you are helping to create a flow between the inside and the outside. Not everyone will have the ability to grow beautiful flower gardens or to build landscape art that is one-of-a- kind but every homeowner can maintain a clean and appealing yard.
What if you don't have a Green Thumb?
Some homeowners are not the best caretakers of their yards due to lack of time, knowledge, and ability to care for plants. Not everyone will be able to fill their yards with flowers and plants that can help increase the value of their home but they can maintain the value of their home with proper upkeep. Some of the easiest ways to do this are simple and can be done over a weekend. Take a minute to ensure your gutters are free of debris of any type. You may need to use a ladder to accomplish this task but it is one of the most important ones. Trees shouldn't be overlapping onto your house and the shrubs on the perimeter of your house should be properly manicured. Watch for any areas of pooling water around your home and ensure that it is not a sign of a more serious problem.
Not Everything will Grow
In the Lowcountry of South Carolina, the weather is mild and because of it's proximity to the water and swamps, the air is usually thick with moisture. These weather features make it an ideal location to grow certain plants and trees but impossible to grow others. Curb appeal will only work if your landscaped areas are thriving. The value of your home will not withstand or even increase if everything in your yard is dying or struggling. Many local nurseries in the area and on the neighboring islands have knowledgeable staff members who can help you make the best choice for successful curb appeal. You may be surprised at the different vegetation you can now grow in the yard of your new home in North Charleston with Crescent Homes. With so many possibilities, the exterior of your home can have just as much style and personality as the inside.
It's not all about the Trees
The exterior of your home is more than trimmed grass and pretty flowers but the structure itself. From the front porch to the back patio, your new home should show your care and upkeep. Don't let the small problems become big ones. When you notice a crack in the cement, fix it or if you notice any number of items that seem to be falling apart, take care of them as soon as possible. The torn screen and wobbly porch banister will just get worse with time. To increase curb appeal, your home should be cared for in a way that promotes a homeowner who cares about their property. Take pride in your new home in North Charleston and enjoy the landscaping options of the area.
