Updating your landscaping does more than just improve the visual appeal of your property. It can also improve functionality and safety, and help maximize your use of the property.
Did you know that the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) recommends that homeowners invest 10 percent of their home's value in landscaping? In a study they conducted, they also found that a professional landscape with great curb appeal can add up to 20 percent to your home’s value. In fact, it is one of the few home improvements you can make that not only adds value immediately, but also increases in value as the years go by. Based on the ASLA’s findings, the following is a good starting point to help you evaluate your budget.
| Initial Home Value | Recommended Starting Budget | Updated Home Value | Return on Investment |
| $400,000 | $40,000 | $480,000 | $40,000 |
| $500,000 | $50,000 | $600,000 | $50,000 |
| $600,000 | $60,000 | $720,000 | $60,000 |
| $800,000 | $80,000 | $960,000 | $80,000 |
| $1,000,000 | $100,000 | $1,200,000 | $100,000 |
