Do you wish your front yard welcomed you home?
Do you want your backyard to be your favourite get-a-way?
Here are just some of the benefits of Landscaping…
Watershed Land Design’s landscapes improve a property’s resale value
The most practical pay-off of landscaping is its potential to raise the value of real estate. Lush landscapes create the positive impression that the inside of the house is also properly maintained. Beautiful landscapes can increase property value by 7 to 14% and can accelerate the sale of a home. Moreover, experts believe that homeowners can recover as much as 100 percent of the money they invested in cultivating landscapes when they sell their homes at higher values. Think trees are only good for giving shade? Many homebuyers willingly pay a premium on picturesque landscapes because they help create a sustaining environment while evoking a sense of harmony and balance.
Watershed Land Design’s landscapes create energy efficiency
Besides raising resale value, landscaping delivers another attractive return: it can reduce a home’s annual heating and cooling costs. Carefully positioned trees can cut as much as 25% off a household’s energy consumption for heating and cooling. Landscaping can help decrease heat buildup in the home by blocking and absorbing the sun’s energy in the summer, while trees, fences, or other landscaping features can be used as windbreaks to shield a house from wind chill during the winter.
Watershed Land Design’s landscapes enhance a property’s aesthetic value and create a desirable living environment
Captivating landscapes provide a shelter of serenity and calm. You spend a good part of the day running the rat race. Don’t you want to come home to the solace of sturdy trees, colorful blooms, and cozy deck chairs nestled within welcoming landscapes that smell of freshly cut grass? Landscapes that celebrate the beauty of nature in all its vibrant hues comfort the soul and reinvigorate the senses.
Plus! The clever use of landscaping can provide privacy and home security by replacing unsightly views with beautiful screening plants.
Landscaping combines elements of art and science to enhance a property’s aesthetic and economic value and make a home more energy efficient.
