Keeping your home's exterior updated and looking its best is important for many reasons: it increases its curb appeal and value, and it provides you and your family with an enjoyable outdoor area to gather together in. Follow these 6 tips to make your home's exterior one you'll love coming home to!

1. Match your landscaping to the style of your home.

Keep your lawnwork similar to the type of home you have. If you have a modern home with sleek lines and a streamlined look, it may not be the best idea to incorporate landscaping that would better complement a Victorian-style home. A landscape that enhances your home will add to its value. 

2. Effectively mulch and weed.

Having well-defined mulch lines creates the appearance of a well-maintained property. The beauty created from the contrast between mulch, walk areas, the lawn and other landscaping is highly pleasing to the eye. And of course, be sure to keep your mulched areas (and your entire property) free from unsightly weeds. 

3. Don't just trim weeds; edge your lawn.

Edging your lawn is a nice finishing step that can make a world of difference in its appearance; the sharp, clean lines of edging give your property an extra touch of class. 

4. Install outdoor lighting.

Don't just rely on the sun to show off your outdoor areas. Strategically-placed lighting not only highlights the finer points of the exterior of a home, but also adds a layer of safety and security.

5. Add some color to your lawn.

The impact of a few well-placed hydrangeas or eye-catching colorful azaleas can't be understated; by simply adding some color, you can totally alter the look and feel of an outdoor space. 

6. Recover dried-out spots in your lawn.

Drainage can be different for every lawn, and occasionally you may notice some patches of your lawn suffering more than others. These brown patches not only create eyesores, but also weaken the integrity of the grass root system. Be sure to reseed these areas, and have a professional check the soil health.
