It snowed here all day today but the pictures in this post were taken yesterday (April 6) at Lake Junaluska. If you plan to put your house on the market now or very soon, here’s a list of things to do on the outside to impress potential buyers. Well-kempt bushes, lawns, gardens, etc. will decorate the outside of your house and encourage people to want to see the inside!
- Create a ’scenic feature’ such as a water garden, a birdhouse or feeder area, or a nice sitting area.
- Trim and ‘groom’ all of your plants and flower beds, and replace any dead plants.
- Fill your flower beds and planters with lots of good, fresh mulch.
- Repair and/or repaint any flower bed framing or containers.
- Keep any hoses coiled up neatly.
- Green up (fertilize) and trim your grass. This can also include painting your lawn! Check out Grass B Green.
- Clean and power-wash everything outside - decks, tables, walls, eaves, windows.
- Plant a nice, neat garden which will look not only pretty, but useful!
- Make sure Fluffy (your Fluffy or the neighbor’s) doesn’t leave any presents someone might step in.
- Hang a nice swing or hammock from a tree, or on a nice deck.
