Question: Inexpensive way to landscape front yard to sell house?

(Posted by: Lori H on 2010-01-25 14:17:05)

I need to put our house on the market within the next 2 months. Most of our grass has died and we have crabgrass. Small front yard. One large tree. Bushes planted up against front of house that are dying/ dead. Any ideas on a relatively inexpensive DIY way to improve the appearance of the yard in order to get it sold? I live in a southeastern state that gets a fair amount of rain and it's chilly/ cold right now. Thanks in advance!

First remove everything thats dead,maybe add some colorful hanging baskets,paint the front door or trim to distract the buyers.

Get rid of all dead stuff, resod the yard. Put some seasonal color where the dead stuff was to perk things up. That will give you good curb appeal.

Take a picture of your house and upload to a free landscape visualizer site. This should give you some ideas on what you can do to spruce up your front yard within a certain budget.
