Kent Home Sale Curb Appeal Services
Hey, Kent homeowners! 🌿 In our bustling real estate market, first impressions truly matter. You get just one chance to catch a buyer’s eye—one scroll on Redfin or one drive-by. If your yard looks a little worn out, potential buyers might think the same about the house. That’s where we come in! We specialize in delivering clean, simple, and photo-ready exteriors—fast—so your listing stands out without emptying your wallet.
What’s the Problem?
Is your yard crying out for some love? Here are some common issues we can tackle for you:
- Weedy, flat garden beds lacking definition and faded mulch
- Lawns that are patchy or mossy, with ragged edges and sprinkler hot spots
- Overgrown shrubs that block windows, address numbers, and precious sunlight
- Walkways and steps that are slick or stained, making the entry look meh in photos
Our Pre-Listing Curb Appeal Plan (Designed for Speed & Impact)
We know you want results quickly! Here’s how we boost your home’s curb appeal:
- Define lines — sharp bed edges, crisp lawn borders, and clean cuts around walkways and driveways
- Weed, shape, and lift — targeted pruning of shrubs and hedges to enhance views and openness
- Fresh mulch (2–3”) — an instant color boost, weed suppression, and a polished, inviting look
- Lawn rehab tailored to your timeline
- 48–72 hrs: mow, edge, color feed, spot topdress, and green-up (no scalping!)
- 1–2 wks: core aeration + overseed + compost cap (prioritizing the front yard)
- Sod patch: for those bare spots that need to look “done” on photo day
- Entry refresh — sweep/wash, pot pair with seasonal flowers, swap doormats, and prune for a clear door reveal
- Hardscape clean — treatment for moss/algae on steps/walks; light rinse (no joint blasting)
- Detailing — blow out debris, rake lines in mulch, tidy gravel seams, conceal drip lines, and coil hoses
Pro Tip: Avoid major plant installs 72 hours before photos. It can look “new and patchy.” Clean lines + fresh mulch + pruning = better returns!
