The State of a Florida Lawn: It Can Make or Break a Home for Sale
Pro-Staff Pest Control emphasizes the importance of a lawn’s condition, as it relates to how well a Florida home will sell.
Orlando, FL, June 13, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Selling a home can be a difficult task in this economy. That is why the care and upkeep of a lawn is so crucial. A crisp, fresh lawn can be the main reason why home buyers are drawn to a certain Florida home, and ultimately, it will increase the chances of selling it.
Unfortunately, many homeowners overlook the curb appeal their lawn has on future buyers. Simply put, the better a lawn is cared for means the better the impression it will receive. Buyers are essentially judging a house by its cover because they translate a well-landscaped yard into the rest of the house being just as impeccable.
A yard that hasn’t been cared for decreases the value of the home in the eyes of the buyer. Yet, a home’s value can increase up to 12% if it has been landscaped properly. Grass should be cut at the right height. It’s recommended not to cut more than ⅓ the length of the blade of grass. Also, leaving a lawn clippings after mowing instead of bagging them is vital. There are valuable nutrients in the clippings that are left behind. This is a natural fertilizer and allows a yard to maintain a lush, green appearance.
Mowing is only half the battle because edging and trimming are just as important. Edging must be done with an appropriate edger, not a weed whacker. Trimming plants and bushes is critical as well. They may be time consuming and tedious, but it’s the little things that can bring a yard together. These are necessary because they both give yards a polished look that increase the curb appeal.
“Selling a house isn’t easy these days,” says Pro-Staff CEO, Bob Welch. “But the more you care for your yard and understand the impact it has on your home’s value, the more likely you are to succeed in selling it.” Pro-Staff Pest Control strives to educate homeowners in their journey to increase their odds in successfully selling their homes.
