Outdoor Projects That Will Increase Your Home Value
The exterior of your home is on display for everyone to see, and if you ever decide to put your home up for sale, then there will be a lot of people going in and out of your home. You definitely want your home to impress and be able to sell for so much more than you first bought it for. With increasing housing prices, now is a great time to increase the value of your home by adding some outdoor features. Even just fixing up a broken fence or touching up some spots with new paint can add value to your home. Every little detail you change can make a huge difference to the look of your home. If you’re on a budget, there are many things you can do to make your home look like it’s worth a million dollars; for example, redesigning your front yard by adding a few plants, new fruit trees, or putting in the time to make your grass grow greener and evenly.
Plant some trees
Planting various trees can definitely increase the value of your home by at least $9,000, according to Better Homes & Gardens. Avoid planting them by driveways and along the side of the house in case of any issues. They’ll make the perfect hangout spot when they grow, and you can plant different types, such as fruit trees.
Add light fixtures
Your home is your safe space, so installing some light fixtures outside along the walkway, by the front door, or the garage door will give your home more security. LED lighting is one of the most common lighting options because they provide extra illumination. They’ll definitely add value to your home if you decide to sell it.
Freshen up the roof
Cleaning or replacing your roof tiles if they’re cracked or faded can make your home look brand new. That being said, it’s better to get a professional to take care of the repairs to be on the safe side. When you’re trying to sell your home or increase its value, you want every part of it to be perfect.
Install an outdoor kitchen
There’s nothing better than enjoying the warm days outside with a cold drink and a barbecue. Investing in an outdoor kitchen gives you the luxury of being able to cook outside while not having to go back and forth inside your home. All you need is a grill, ice chest, and stainless steel appliances.
Install a shade structure
When your backyard lacks tall trees to give you shade, the best way to prevent a sunburn is to install a beautiful shade structure, such as a pergola. You can decorate the small space with furniture, a fire pit, or bright string lights. It’ll make a cozy environment and add value to your home.
