What’s the Problem?
Is your yard in need of some love? Here are some common issues we can tackle for you:
- Overgrown beds filled with weeds; no definition and faded mulch
- Lawns that are patchy or mossy, with ragged edges and uneven watering spots
- Shrubs that are blocking windows, house numbers, and precious natural light
- Walkways and steps that are slick or stained, leaving the entry looking meh in photos
Our Pre-Listing Curb Appeal Plan (Built for Speed & Photos)
Our process is designed to deliver results quickly and effectively. Here’s what we do to transform your property:
- Define Lines — We create deep bed edging, crisp lawn edges, and sharp cuts around walks and driveways.
- Weed, Shape, and Lift — We perform targeted shrub and hedge pruning to open up windows and sightlines.
- Fresh Mulch (2–3”) — This adds an instant color pop, suppresses weeds, and gives your landscape a clean, inviting texture.
- Lawn Rehab—Tailored to Your Timeline
- 48–72 hrs: Mow, edge, color feed, spot topdress, and green-up (no scalp).
- 1–2 wks: Core aeration + overseed + compost cap (front yard priority).
- Sod Patch: For those bare spots that need to look “done” on photo day.
- Entry Refresh — Sweep/soft-wash, pair pots with seasonal color, swap out doormats, and prune for a welcoming door reveal.
- Hardscape Clean — Treat moss and algae on steps/walks; light rinse (no joint blasting).
- Detailing — We finish with a blowout, rake lines in mulch, tidy gravel seams, hide drip lines, and coil hoses.
Pro Tip: Avoid big plant installs within 72 hours of photos. It reads as “new and patchy.” Clean lines, mulch, and pruning = better ROI!
