3. Marry the house to its landscape

One of the things that can have the biggest impact in exterior appeal is landscaping. Take time to come up with a basic plan for your landscape. The trick is to strike a balance between lawn and plants. If you want to house to appear married to the landscape, make sure to create a transition from the house to the grade by using species that descend in height from the home. If your budget cannot accommodate planting anything new, do a big clean up. You may also detail trees and shrubs and edge flower shrubs. Remember to weed and get rid of dead plantings.

 

4. Add outdoor art

Create a more attractive yard by adding a weather-resistant work of art. Make sure that the pieces you are going to put complement your home’s natural palette and exterior elements.

Fountains should be placed on level ground in optimum sight and hearing vantage points. Adding outdoor arts will set your property apart from other South Tampa homes for sale in Sunset Park.
