If you are contemplating a landscape design to reinvigorate your garden, there are likely to be several reasons that are driving you towards that decision. It could be you have moved into a new home, and you want to put your stamp on it with a newly landscaped garden. Or it might be that your garden is lacking aesthetics such as swimming pools and is not somewhere that you and your family can enjoy.

Another, and extremely important reason for having a landscape design created for your garden is once it has been fully installed, the value of your property is almost certainly going to increase. That could be anywhere between 1% and 10%, and some are even bold enough to suggest 20%. We obviously cannot guarantee you any of those figures, however, if the past is a guide, a beautiful, landscaped garden will certainly add, not detract from a property’s value.

Whatever that value might be, it is only of any positive effect if, when you come to sell your property, you have buyers willing to pay your asking price. A further benefit of a landscaped garden is that its existence is going to make your home a more desirable option for buyers than other properties that do not have a well-designed landscape garden.
