Redmond Home Sale Curb Appeal Services

Hey, Redmond homeowners! 🌲 In this bustling real estate market, first impressions are everything. You get just one scroll on Redfin and one quick drive-by. If your yard is looking a little lackluster, potential buyers might assume the same about your home. That’s where we come in! We specialize in delivering clean, simple, photo-ready exteriors—fast and without breaking the bank.


What’s the Problem?

Does your yard need a little love? Here are some common issues we can tackle for you:

  • Weedy and flat garden beds lacking definition and faded mulch
  • Patchy or mossy lawns with ragged edges and sprinkler hot spots
  • Overgrown shrubs blocking windows, address numbers, and precious light
  • Slippery or stained walkways that make the entry look “meh” in photos

Our Pre-Listing Curb Appeal Plan (Built for Speed & Photos)

Our strategy is designed to give you quick, effective results. Here’s what we’ll do:

  • Define Lines — We’ll create deep bed edging, crisp lawn edges, and hard cuts around walks and driveways for that clean look.
  • Weed, Shape, and Lift — Targeted pruning of shrubs and hedges to open windows and improve sightlines.
  • Fresh Mulch (2–3”) — An instant color boost, weed suppression, and a clean, inviting texture that makes your garden pop.
  • 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 zones to ensure your yard looks “done” on photo day.
  • Entry Refresh — Sweep, soft-wash, pot pair with seasonal color, swap out the doormat, and prune for that perfect door reveal.
  • Hardscape Clean — Treatment for moss/algae on steps and walks; we’ll do a light rinse (no blasting your joints).
  • Detailing — We’ll blow out debris, rake lines in mulch, tidy gravel seams, hide drip lines, and coil hoses for that polished finish.

Pro Tip: Avoid big plant installations 72 hours before photo day. It can look “new and patchy.” Clean lines, fresh mulch, and smart pruning will give you a better return on investment.


Packages & Timelines

Choose a package that fits your needs:

  • Photo-Day Blitz (24–72 hrs)
    Edging, weeding, selective pruning, mulching, mowing/edging, entry pots, hardscape clean, and blowdown.

  • 1–2 Week Refresh
    Blitz + core aeration, overseed front lawn, compost topdress, irrigation tune-up, and shrub shaping.

  • Full Pre-Listing Tune-Up (2–4 weeks)
    Includes sod patches, light planting to fill gaps, pathway touch-ups, gravel/top-up, and minor paver re-sanding.

Why Curb Appeal Work Matters

Investing in curb appeal is crucial for several reasons:

  • Photos Sell — Clean lines and contrast look better online.
  • Fast Walk-Up — Buyers won’t wonder what else might be neglected.
  • Low-Risk Fixes — Mulch, edges, and pruning are high-impact with low stress.
  • Protects Staging — Clean entries and paths keep your interiors looking sharp during showings.
