Return On Investment With Your Landscape

Although the lists of home improvement projects can be a long and daunting task, the return on investment with your landscape may be surprising in regards to how it increases property values. So while your dream kitchen or master bath may be in the back of your mind, a new outdoor living area or planting bed may yield the greatest return on investment.

As recent indicators have suggested, homeowners are choosing to remain in their houses longer. In doing so, home repairs and improvements are necessary to meet their needs. As any well done home improvement project can augment your property value, it does not always yield a 100% return on your investment. However, a recent study concluded that on average landscaping yields a 109% return on investment, more than any other area of the home. Design sophistication was rated as the most important element in a landscape planting followed by plant size and then diversity of planting. Conversely, houses with a minimal landscape with simple designs and small plants were actually seen as detracting from the value of the property.


As you ponder your landscaping needs, it may be necessary to reach out to a professional in the landscape industry for help. As every site is different, so too are the needs of each individual in regards to how they use their landscape. Working with a landscape architect who will meet your needs and help develop your plans in to fruition is essential. With a history of 50 years in the landscape industry, our knowledgeable staff of architects at Mark M. Holeman can be an integral part in planning a successful landscape design.

Also important in the process is the quality of the workmanship. Your investment in your landscape will not pay dividends if trees fail and plants die. Working with a company
