The ROI of Professional Landscaping for New Builds

Several important financial concepts are often considered within the new homebuilding world, and return on investment (ROI) is one of the most common buzz terms. One segment of new home builds that tends to offer consistently high ROI is landscaping – why is this, and which factors contribute to strong ROI of professional landscaping for new builds?

At Wright Landscaping, we offer a wide range of landscape design, build and maintenance services for clients around Salt Lake City, Layton, Kaysville and nearby areas. As a top landscaping company in the area, our landscapers regularly work with homebuilders to design and maintain beautiful properties as they hit the market for the first time. Here are some of the chief factors that contribute to strong ROI for these projects, all of which we pay close attention to during any such project.

The Broad Concept of Curb Appeal

One element that will come up regularly within this conversation is curb appeal, which simply refers to how attractive a property looks from the street. This is an important factor for both homebuyers and anyone looking to improve their property’s value – a strong first impression can go a long way towards driving up interest levels in the property.

Curb appeal can be affected by several different factors, including landscaping choices we’ll get into below, plus any exterior paint jobs or basic repairs that have been performed. Even small details like fresh flowers or well-maintained hedges can make a big difference when it comes to curb appeal. In addition, proper maintenance of walkways, driveways and other key areas can boost curb appeal even further.

Landscaping as a Key Factor in Curb Appeal

Landscaping is an essential aspect of curb appeal and can greatly impact the overall appearance of a property. A well-maintained lawn, carefully selected plants and flowers, and proper maintenance of outdoor spaces can all contribute to creating an inviting and visually appealing exterior.

This is especially true for new home builds. Clients in these settings typically expect clean, virtually perfect landscape as they visit a new property for the first time, and a professionally landscaped area can help create a positive first impression.

Reducing Costs for Long-Term Savings

Another way of measuring ROI for landscaping on new home builds is in the various ways professional landscaping services can help reduce costs over time. For example, a well-designed and maintained landscape can provide natural cooling for homes in the summer, reducing air conditioning costs. Strategically placed trees can also act as windbreaks, helping to lower heating bills in the winter months.

Investing in quality soil and irrigation systems can also lead to long-term savings on water usage and plant replacements. By choosing drought-resistant plants and incorporating efficient irrigation methods, homeowners can save money on their monthly utility bills while still maintaining a beautiful outdoor space.

Limited Maintenance Needs

In many cases, clients looking for new build homes don’t desire lots of maintenance with the property they’re going to purchase – this is often why they go for a new build in the first place. In these instances, low-maintenance landscaping is a huge selling point.

With the right design and plant selection, homeowners can have a stunning landscape without having to spend hours every week maintaining it. With the right design and plant selection, homeowners can have a stunning landscape without having to spend hours every week maintaining it. This will make a property far more attractive to potential buyers, especially those with busy lifestyles or retirees looking for a more relaxed lifestyle. Additionally, low-maintenance landscaping can also help save on water and energy costs, making it appealing to environmentally-conscious buyers.

Customization Options

Newly built homes often come with the option for homeowners to customize their outdoor space according to their preferences and needs. This means that clients can work closely with landscape designers to create a personalized outdoor oasis that reflects their style and meets their specific requirements.

From choosing the type of plants and materials used to incorporating unique features such as fire pits or outdoor kitchens, the customization options are endless when it comes to new build home landscaping.

As you can see, there are several ways that professional landscaping services can generate strong return on investment for new home builds.
