Landscaping tips to improve a home's curb appeal

The interior may be what sells the home, but the curb appeal sparks the initial interest.

With that in mind, here are four potential ways that landscaping can improve a home's curb appeal.

Keep the edges clean. Edging around sidewalks and driveways gives the yard a nice, clean feel. Installing lights along the sidewalk makes the home stand out at night and creates a subtle elegance. 

Don't forget the flowers. Whether they are planted in the yard or placed in flower boxes and pots, colorful flowers are an inexpensive way to make the yard pop and improve the curb appeal of a home. Shade-loving flowers can also be used to cover dead spots in a yard shaded by large trees.

Trim trees and bushes. No one will notice the fine edge work or the beautiful flowers if they are completely buried behind overgrown bushes. Trimming bushes back provides an overall clean look to the yard and allows other aspects to shine. Cutting loose branches from trees also provides a clean look and eliminates safety concerns.

Add a berm. Berms can complement existing flowers or edging and are a great way to break up flat spots in a yard.
