This is an ongoing series of Home Staging Tips for home owners that are selling their homes. Most are DIY'er tips, inexpensive, and very beneficial for properly marketing your property.
Yard maintenance is another important aspect of home staging. A well maintained yard, also show a seller that you care about your property. If your property is overgrown, covered in weeds, has dead spots, dead plants, buyers will assume it's either an as-is property, or that you don't care, or desperate to sell, and have given up maintaining the house too.
No matter what time of year it is, always take out overgrown shrubs, it's hard for owners, especially if they planted them many years ago, and have watched them grow. Taking large shrubs and plants will not only make your yard look larger, but it will open up the front of your house and make it look fresh and new.
In the summer, keep the yard mowed, weeded, and fertilized with flower beds defined and new flowers and shrubs planted, followed by mulch.
In the fall, keep the yard raked, or hire someone to do it for you, prune, and cut back dead foliage and plant plants that will make it through the fall period. Use a winterizer on your yard.
In the winter, if it snows, keep a path clean from the car to the front door, or hire someone to do it for you.
In the spring, fertilize, pull out everything that didn't make it through the winter, and plant new bright foliage to get you into summer.
