Renton Home Sale Curb Appeal Services

Hey there, Renton homeowners! 🌳 In our bustling real estate market, first impressions matter more than ever! With just a scroll on Redfin or a quick drive-by, potential buyers will form opinions about your property. If your yard is looking a little worn out, buyers might start questioning the condition of the house itself. That’s where we come in! Our team specializes in delivering clean, simple, and photo-ready exteriors in no time, ensuring your listing stands out without burning a hole in your wallet.

What’s the Problem?

Does your yard need a little love? We can tackle some common issues that might be holding back your property’s appeal:

• Overgrown beds that are weedy and flat—lacking definition and faded mulch
• Lawns that are patchy or mossy, complete with ragged edges and unsightly sprinkler spots
• Shrubs that have grown too wild, blocking windows and stealing precious sunlight
• Walkways and steps that are slick or stained, making the entry look lackluster in photos

Our Pre-Listing Curb Appeal Plan (built for speed & photos)

We know you need results fast, so our approach is efficient and effective. Here’s how we work:

• Define lines — We’ll create deep bed edges, crisp lawn borders, and clean cuts around your walks and driveways.
• Weed, shape, and lift — Our team will prune shrubs and hedges to open up windows and improve sightlines.
• Fresh mulch (2–3”) — This instant color boost not only suppresses weeds but also gives your garden a tidy and inviting look.
• Lawn rehab—tailored for your timeline
  • 48–72 hrs: mow, edge, apply color feed, spot topdress, and green-up (without scalp)
  • 1–2 wks: core aeration + overseed + compost cap (prioritizing the front yard)
  • Sod patch: for those bare spots that need to look “done” by photo day
• Entry refresh — We’ll sweep and soft-wash, style seasonal color in pots, swap out your doormat, and prune for a clear door reveal.
• Hardscape clean — Treatment for moss/algae on steps and walks, plus a light rinse (no joint blasting needed).
• Detailing — We’ll blow out debris, rake lines in mulch, tidy gravel seams, hide drip lines, and coil hoses to make everything look neat.

Pro Tip: Avoid planting new plants within 72 hours of photo day, as they may look “new and patchy.” Clean lines, fresh mulch, and well-pruned plants yield a better return on investment.

Packages & Timelines

Pick the package that fits your needs best:

• Photo-Day Blitz (24–72 hrs)
  A quick package that includes edging, weeding, selective pruning, mulching, lawn mowing/edging, entry pots, hardscape cleaning, and blowdown to ensure your property shines.

  All of the above, plus core aeration, overseeding for the front lawn, compost topdressing, irrigation tuning, and shrub shaping.

Why Curb Appeal Work Matters

Investing in curb appeal is essential for several compelling reasons:

• Photos sell — Clean lines and vibrant colors look better on listing sites, attracting more interest.
• Fast walk-up — Buyers won’t wonder what else might have been neglected if the exterior looks great.
• Low-risk fixes — Tasks like mulching, edging, pruning, and lawn toning are high-impact with minimal drama.
• Protects staging — Clean entries and pathways help keep the interiors pristine during showings.

Our Annual Maintenance Plan (after you sell or if you’re staying)

Keep your property looking fabulous year-round with our convenient maintenance options:

• Quarterly — Spring/fall deep clean + two tune-ups to maintain that fresh look.
