hen you think of landscaping, what comes to mind? Scenes of giant topiary? Jack Nicholson wandering through a haunted hedge maze? Well, you’re not wrong, but it doesn’t have to be that complicated. Landscaping is a service any home can benefit from, whether its a property with an inground pool or a row house with a postage stamp yard.
Landscaping is too often pushed to the back burner when it comes to home maintenance projects, but it should never be overlooked. It’s a simple way to improve the curb appeal of a home, raising the dollar value of your property and your neighborhood as a whole. But, even if you know you’ll never sell your home, landscaping has its benefits. Studies have shown that being in green spaces makes us live longer, happier lives, meaning you’ll get to spend more time in the house and community you love.
So, bring landscaping forward on your to-do list and let these six businesses help make you the yard of your dreams!
