5 Tips To Develop Your Garden

1)Keep your outside space clear

Open out the outside space and increase the area by trimming back any unruly area’s, ensure that if your potential purchasers arrive, the drive way is empty of any children’s toys, cars, gardening waste, bulk waste and rubbish bags. You may be getting rid of your unwanted rubbish but prospective buyers don’t need to see it. It is typically men who recognise how easy the work in the garden space is and having any excessive or overgrown space can really effect the chance of a sale.

2)Add some colourful features

Where ever possible, make your garden seem appealing by adding some floral touches. A simple technique is to add a set of pots or maybe a hanging basket and place colourful beautiful flowers and for however long you need it will be appealing. Try to avoid heavily scented plants as people have personal preferences and the wrong plant could leave a negative lasting impression. The best part of pots or baskets is they are usually relatively inexpensive and you can take them to a new home.

3)Using your border

The boundary of your space should be used to impress depending on the size and shape of garden you have. If your house has less outside space, blurring the boundaries with some potted plants but not too large can elude the eye to the size and it may be worth lightening the walls with paint. It can brighten the space, but ensure the chosen paint is non offensive and works well with the overall look. If you have a fairly big garden, point out the size, with clearly defined boundaries making sure that all fencing is well repaired and freshly painted or any brickwork is pristine.

4)The entertainment space

If your outside space is looking good, take it over the edge by creating a scene. Have a cleaned and stylish barbeque on show with garden furniture set out, as if you use the space all the time to host parties, even if this is not something you would do most prospective purchasers are looking for the dream rather than the reality. If you’re showing on a day that’s bright and sunny, increase the sale chances by offering them some refreshment when they’re outside.

5)Add a water feature

If the opportunity is there and you have the funding then add something just a little bit special for that extra effect by purchasing a designer water feature that is both beautiful and child friendly, it can make the memorable feature that means your property streaks ahead of the others in the same price range.
