There is absolutely no reason to spend a fortune on landscaping to improve your property value. As we watch Oprah and every remodeling show on tv, the general public has in mind to hire a landscaping artist to create the ultimate home look. But with a few inexpensive tips, anyone can have a beautiful home with showcase curb appeal.

Whether you desire to sell your home for top dollar or simply compete with your neighbor's fantastic lawn, it is all possible. The first thing that you should spend money on is:

1. Water - It is amazing how many people never stop to think about the logistics of what makes a lawn grow. It isn't the most expensive fertilizers, it is tons of water. Hearty grass grows on lots of water and very often. Make watering to the best value, by always watering first thing in the morning or late in the evening when the sun is not out to soak up all the water.

2. Bedding plants - bedding plants are very inexpensive and some as low as thirty cents to fifty cents each. Some of the most popular are petunias and marigolds. They are very hearty and can line your sidewalk.

3. White rocks - Rock accents are very cheap also. Spend some money on some black plastic wrap before laying the rocks, so the rocks do not sink into the soil.

4. Trellis - the single most beautiful addition to any home are some simple trellis. Some trellis placed by windows with some very cheap climbing yellow roses, add tons of value to a home. Roses can cost as little as two dollars each. A wonderful entrance trellis by the front walk with some climbing lilacs add tons of beauty and done very cheap also. There is never a necessity to do everything in fresh plants. Many a home is decorated with wreaths, ribbons and plastic candied fruits. It is all in how it is placed.

5. Tulips - Around your accent trees you can plant some tulips for some quick color and bright hues.

6. Carnations - Another cheap flower that adds beauty to your lawn. Place some carnations in some hanging pots, by the front entrance.

7. Rubber Plants - Rubber Plants add accent by the front door way. Place them in large pots with some white accent rocks for a highlight of your new palace.

8. Lighting - A few inexpensive lights at the front entrance can increase your property value. By simply changing a bulb and adding some light colored bulbs, the whole neighborhood will be in envy.

As you can see, a few minor changes can improve the value of your home quickly, inexpensively and beautifully. Most ideals in this article will improve your property value with little effort and money. Especially, if you are thinking of selling your home, staging the front or even the back yard is very important. Many times the buyer will not even want to look at a home unless he is attracted to the front of the home.
