Increase the Value of your Home: Landscape your Garden says D&G Garden World!

May 25, 2009 - PRLog -- Even if space is short within a home, the impression of a bigger property is made possible by cleverly designing a garden so that it works as a living-space extension.

Dave Smith of D&G Garden World (http://www.dggardenworld.co.uk), an Essex-based garden landscaping company with over 20 years experience in the trade, says: “A stunning garden that has been well-planned to incorporate practical benefits such as sectioning off areas for children to play, creating privacy from neighbouring properties and keeping animals contained will attract attention from prospective buyers.”

Dave suggests the following for adding space and therefore value to a property: “When designing the garden, consider a deck or patio that leads out from large glass doors and make sure you don’t hide it behind curtains – you want your viewers to walk into the room and immediately be drawn to your lovely outside space!”

Dave suggests that this decking or patio area is used to create an outside dining and entertaining space. He says, “Consider covering it and adding a heating system so that the area can be used all year round rather than just during the summer months.”

Another idea to consider is to add an outdoor kitchen with a permanent barbeque or outdoor oven and a sink. “If your property is strapped for entertaining space inside, make that space outside! That way you can utilise your inside space for other important things, thus making your home even more attractive to potential buyers” says Dave who finishes with a valuable piece of advice, “And don’t forget the front garden! It is the first thing viewers see so make sure it looks fantastic and leaves a lasting impression.”

Landscaping a garden makes it easier to sell a property. It is all about extending space outdoors, and making that outdoor space habitable all year round.

Anyone in any doubt on how best to utilise their outdoor space should contact D&G Garden World for friendly, expert advice; it will be money well spent, and will be recouped when the property is sold!
