Sammamish Home Sale Curb Appeal Services
In the bustling Sammamish real estate market, you only get one chance to make a first impression! A single scroll through Redfin or a drive-by can make or break a sale. If your yard appears worn out, potential buyers might think the house is too. That’s where we come in! At Neat & Tidy, we deliver clean, inviting, photo-ready exteriors quickly—helping your listing stand out without draining your wallet.
What’s the Problem?
Is your yard in need of a little TLC? Here are some common issues we can tackle:
- Weedy, flat beds lacking definition and faded mulch
- Patchy or mossy lawns with ragged edges and uneven sprinkler coverage
- Overgrown shrubs blocking windows and precious natural light
- Slick or stained walkways that make the entry look less appealing in photos
Our Pre-Listing Curb Appeal Plan (Built for Speed & Stunning Photos)
Our approach is all about delivering results quickly and effectively. Here’s how we make your property shine:
- Define Lines — We create deep bed edges, crisp lawn borders, and precise cuts around walkways and driveways.
- Weed, Shape, and Lift — Targeted pruning of shrubs and hedges to enhance views and open up sightlines.
- Fresh Mulch (2–3”) — An instant burst of color, effective weed suppression, and a tidy, inviting look.
- Lawn Rehab—Custom Fit for Your Timeline
- 48–72 hrs: Mow, edge, color feed, spot topdress, and green-up (without scalp).
- 1–2 wks: Core aeration, overseed, and compost cap (with a focus on the front yard).
- Sod Patches: Fixing those bare spots to ensure they look “done” for photo day.
- Entry Refresh — Sweep and soft-wash the entry, add seasonal color pots, swap doormats, and prune for a stunning reveal.
- Hardscape Cleaning — Treat moss and algae on steps and walkways; light rinse without blasting joints.
- Detailing — Blowout leaves, rake lines into mulch, tidy gravel seams, hide drip lines, and coil hoses for a neat finish.
Pro Tip: Avoid big plant installs within 72 hours of photo day. It can look new and patchy. Clean lines, fresh mulch, and thoughtful pruning yield better returns!
