The real estate value of your home is improved by a well-installed landscape
According to the Journal of Environmental Horticulture, the characteristics of your home’s landscaping can greatly improve the property’s real estate value, in addition to exponentially decreasing the time it takes for a house to sell:
| Element | Increase in home's real estate value |
| Tree covered lot | adds 2-9% |
| A single tree | adds 2% |
| Hedges or walls, dense vegetation, landscaped curbs | adds 2-4% each |
| Sophisticated landscape design | adds 5-10% |
| Improving average landscape to excellent quality | adds 10% to resale price |
| Each dollar invested upgrading a landscape | returns $1.35 |
