Surveys of real estate agents have
illustrated that professional landscaping designs
can add as much as 15 or 25 percent to the value
of a property. Customers need to realize that a professionally installed landscape is one
of the few purchases that appreciates in value if its well maintained. Additional
studies have shown numerous ways in which a professionally installed and properly
maintained landscapes can benefit the homeowners or property managers beyond the obvious
property beautification. Homeowners can
expect to recover between 100 and 200 percent of the cost of a landscape installation in
selling their house.
