Tangled trees and unkempt bushes can obscure views, darken interiors, promote mold, and block a good look at your home. Many people forget about their trees more than anything when they are putting their home up for sale. Yet, landscaping is one of the top three investments that bring the biggest return. According to a 2007 survey of 2,000 brokers conducted by HomeGain, an online real estate marketing site, an investment of around $400-500 in landscaping can bring a return of four times that.

Nobody likes to spend money, but landscaping might be the most important investment you can make into your home’s value, even if you have kept up with the inside.

Also, if you are someone looking to purchase a home, take a close look at the trees on the property, especially the ones within striking distance of targets. A home inspection may not find the dead or dying tree that could cause major damage to the home or harm your family. If you do notice anything hazardous see if the owner has ever had a professional look at the tree or have us come provide a free estimate then work to negotiate the cost off of the purchase price!
