Lynnwood Home Sale Curb Appeal Services
In the bustling Lynnwood real estate scene, first impressions matter! With just a quick scroll on Redfin or a casual drive-by, potential buyers form their opinions. If your yard is looking a bit worn out, buyers might think the entire house needs work too. That’s where we step in! At Neat & Tidy, we specialize in delivering clean, crisp, photo-ready exteriors—quickly and affordably—so your listing truly stands out.
What’s the Problem?
Is your yard shouting for some love? Here’s a list of common issues we can tackle for you:
- Flower beds filled with weeds and faded mulch; lacking definition
- Lawns that are patchy or mossy, featuring ragged edges and sprinkler hot spots
- Overgrown shrubs that block windows and light, hiding your home’s best features
- Walkways that are slick or stained, making the entryway look underwhelming in photos
Our Pre-Listing Curb Appeal Plan (Built for Speed & Photos)
Our approach is all about getting you results in a flash. Here’s our game plan:
- Define lines — precise bed edging, sharp lawn edges, and clean cuts around walks and driveways
- Weed, shape, and lift — targeted pruning for shrubs and hedges to enhance sightlines and let in light
- Fresh mulch (2-3”) — instantly brightens up your garden, suppresses weeds, and adds a welcoming touch
- Lawn rehab tailored to your timeline
- 48-72 hours: mow, edge, color feed, spot topdress, and green-up (without scalp)
- 1-2 weeks: core aeration + overseed + compost cap (front yard priority)
- Sod patch: for those bare spots that need to look “done” by photo day
- Entry refresh — sweep and soft-wash, add seasonal color planters, swap doormats, and prune for a clear door reveal
- Hardscape clean — treat moss/algae on steps/walks and give a light rinse (no harsh blasting)
- Detailing — blowout, rake lines in mulch, tidy gravel seams, hide drip lines, and coil hoses
Pro Tip: Avoid big plant installations within 72 hours of photos. They can look “new and patchy.” Instead, focus on clean lines, fresh mulch, and pruning for the best return on investment.

- Photos sell — clean lines and contrast look better on listing sites
- Immediate walk-up appeal — buyers won’t wonder what else has been overlooked
