Landscape: Estate Liquidation the Right Way

A fresh landscaped estate is the key for the estate to reach its highest potential in curb appeal.

CLEAN IT UP

When it comes to improving an estate's landscape, a simple clean up might be all it takes to make a significant difference. The lawn is one of the first things potential buyers will notice when looking to purchase property. We recommend giving the property a fresh trim and to remove dead grass, weeds, leaves, and branches—and if needed, patches of unhealthy grass should be re-seeded.

Make sure to also show love to neglected gardens, bushes, and trees--an unkempt landscape can make a well-maintained estate look less desirable. When it comes to driveways, walkways, and patio areas, clean up weeds growing out around the edges and from in between the cracks.

PAINT/REPAIR

Older estates can go years, sometimes decades without proper upkeep, or without any upkeep at all—leading to withering and erosion to the landscape. Sometimes it only takes a fresh coat of paint, some simple refinishing, or a few repairs and replacements to restore the beauty of the outdoor living space. With a fresh coat of paint and a few necessary fixes, any ordinary deck or patio can turn into an impressive selling point—complimenting the estate’s overall landscape.

FILL IN EXCESS SPACE

At this point, we all know that a well-maintained landscape can bring a big boost to an estate’s curb appeal. But a fun, low-cost, low-maintenance solution to upgrading an estate’s landscape, is to add flowers and bushes to the front of the property. Nothing makes a home feel brighter, friendlier, and more welcoming than colorful flowers and decorative bushes—So don't forget to spruce up the baron flowerbeds with some color. Property owners could even make their own space for flowers and bushes to fill in the gaps—Hanging basket plants or setting up flowerpots are great way to spruce up the estate
