Frequently Asked Questions
ROI on landscaping?
Good curb appeal adds 5-12% resale value per NAR studies. Basic $5K spend can return $10K+ in sale premium. Over-landscaping (exotic plants, elaborate water features) often doesn't recoup.
Do-it-yourself savings?
40-60% vs pro landscaper. Sod and plants are easy to source. Hard work: digging, grading, tree planting. Rent equipment for larger jobs.
Irrigation ROI?
Drip/sprinkler systems cost $2-$4/sqft installed. Save on watering cost + plant survival. Pay back in 2-4 years on a property with established landscape.
