Are you ready to upgrade your home for spring or summer? If so, it's time to call a local landscaper to work their magic. Home upgrades can be a great way to improve your living space and increase the value of your home. Here are four upgrades that a landscape designer can help you with to increase property value.

1. Care for Your Lawn

According to Bankrate, spending 10 to 20% of your home value on landscaping offers the best ROI. The easiest and most cost-effective to utilize landscape designers is with general lawn care. They can plant new grass sod and gardens in strategic areas. Having beautiful flower beds, especially as spring blooms, can add beauty and fresh scents to your outdoor space. They can ensure that grass, flowers, and other elements can thrive by getting rid of and preventing the ongoing occurrence of weeds.

2. Plant Trees

Planting one or more trees on your property has many benefits. A landscape designer knows the best locations to strategically add them. Trees in the right location can even help you save on your home heating or cooling costs as they provide natural shade. They also clean the air and can be a natural source of food. If you look forward to picking your own apples, lemons, oranges, figs, or nuts, you can do so by planting new trees in your front or backyard.

3. Add Water Features

Who doesn't love to have a nice water feature on their property? After all, according to Healthline, being near water can naturally provide a feeling of wellness and tranquility in people. A landscaper can design a small pond where you can add beautiful tropical fish. Enjoy nature's chorus every morning as birds flock to a bird bath outside. Water features and strategically planted trees can also encourage other friendly wildlife around, such as butterflies, grasshoppers, and ladybugs.

4. Build a Deck

Last but not least, a landscape designer may also be able to add a deck if they specialize in hardscaping services. With a deck, you'll have the foundation to relax and enjoy your water features and gardens in comfort. Plus, with the majority of American homeowners interested in houses that have a deck or patio, it could easily add more value to your home.
