Tukwila Home Sale Curb Appeal Services
In the bustling Tukwila real estate market, first impressions can make or break a sale! With just one scroll on Redfin or a quick drive-by, potential buyers will form an opinion. If your yard appears worn out, they might assume the house is too. That’s where we come in! Our team specializes in delivering clean, simple, photo-ready exteriors—quickly and affordably—so your listing stands out from the crowd.
What’s the Problem?
Is your yard in need of a little love? Here are some common issues we can tackle for you:
- Weedy and flat beds lacking definition and faded mulch
- Patchy or mossy lawns with ragged edges and sprinkler hotspots
- Overgrown shrubs that block windows, house numbers, and natural light
- Slick or stained sidewalks that make the entryway look uninviting in photos
Our Pre-Listing Curb Appeal Plan (Built for Speed & Photos)
Our approach is designed to provide you with quick and effective results. Here’s what you can expect:
- Define lines — We create deep bed edges, crisp lawn borders, and clean cuts around walkways and driveways.
- Weed, shape, and lift — Our team will prune shrubs and hedges to enhance visibility from the windows and improve sightlines.
- Fresh mulch (2–3”) — This adds an instant burst of color, suppresses weeds, and provides a clean, inviting texture.
- Lawn rehab tailored to your timeline:
- 48–72 hrs: Mow, edge, apply color feed, spot topdress, and green-up (no scalp).
- 1–2 wks: Core aeration, overseed, and compost cap (prioritizing the front yard).
- Sod patch: For those bare spots that need to look “done” just in time for photos.
- Entry refresh — We’ll sweep and soft-wash, pot pair with seasonal color, swap out doormats, and prune for a stunning door reveal.
- Hardscape clean — Treatment for moss/algae on steps and walkways; light rinse (no joint blasting).
- Detailing — We’ll blow out debris, rake lines in mulch, tidy gravel seams, hide drip lines, and coil hoses to perfection.
Pro Tip: Avoid big plant installs 72 hours before photos. They can appear “new and patchy.” Instead, focus on clean lines, fresh mulch, and strategic pruning for a better ROI.
