This Colorado Spring air is tempting us to plan get-togethers with family and look forward to times of soaking up the sun on the patio and laughing around the fire pit.
Spending time outdoors is a time honored tradition here and, bonus, did you know that your yard is more than just a place to enjoy, relax and beautify? It’s a very crucial part of your home's value. Whether it’s a small patio, yard or sprawling lawn with all the bells and whistles…a properly installed landscape can help realize the full potential of your property value.
How big of an impact you ask? Our friends at Plant Care Today shared this positive insight:

•The sale of a property can go up by as much as six weeks
•Patio landscaping can raise property value by 12.4%
•A landscaped curb can increase home value by 4.4% and hedges can add 3.6%
