Woodinville Home Sale Curb Appeal Services
Hey, Woodinville homeowners! When it comes to selling your home, first impressions are everything—especially in our vibrant real estate market. You get just one scroll on Redfin and one drive-by, so if your yard looks tired, potential buyers might think the house is, too. That’s where we come in! At Neat & Tidy Landscaping, we create clean, simple, and photo-ready exteriors fast—helping your listing stand out without burning a hole in your wallet.
What’s the Problem?
Does your yard have that “I need some love” vibe? Here are a few common culprits we can tackle:
- Weedy, flat beds that lack definition and have faded mulch
- Patchy or mossy lawns with ragged edges and dry spots from sprinkler issues
- Overgrown shrubs that block windows, house numbers, and natural light
- Slick or stained walks and steps, making the entry seem lackluster in photos
Our Pre-Listing Curb Appeal Plan (crafted for speed & stunning photos)
Here’s how we work our magic quickly and effectively:
- Define lines — We’ll create deep bed edges, crisp lawn borders, and hard cuts around walks and driveways to sharpen your landscape.
- Weed, shape, and lift — Our team will prune shrubs and hedges strategically to open up windows and sightlines.
- Fresh mulch (2–3”) — This adds an instant pop of color, helps suppress weeds, and gives a clean, inviting texture.
- Lawn rehab—tailored to your timeline
- 48–72 hrs: Mow, edge, apply color feed, spot topdress, and green-up (without scalping).
- 1–2 wks: Core aeration, overseed, and compost cap (focusing on the front yard).
- Sod patch: For those bare spots that need to look “done” before photo day.
- Entry refresh — We’ll sweep and soft-wash, add seasonal color pots, swap out doormats, and prune for a clear door reveal.
- Hardscape clean — Moss/algae treatment on steps and walks, followed by a light rinse (no joint blasting).
- Detailing — We’ll blow out debris, rake lines in mulch, tidy gravel seams, hide drip lines, and coil hoses.
Pro Tip: Avoid major plant installations 72 hours before photography. It can make the area look “new and patchy.” Instead, focus on clean lines, fresh mulch, and strategic pruning for the best return on investment.
