The summertime is a great excuse to start fresh and enhance your home with that much needed makeover. However, many summer home renovations can take weeks and sometimes months to complete. What you need are some quick summer DIY projects that won’t cost an entire month’s salary.
According to Fortune Builders, one of the more popular summer home renovation projects that takes only a weekend to complete is adding curb appeal by enhancing your landscaping. There’s no denying that lawn beautification goes a long way for a home’s visual appeal and it’s a central part of a home’s character. Because landscaping is the first impression visitors and potential buyers see, it’s a critical component to get a jump start on this summer.
When getting started, homeowners can either choose to commence the landscape project themselves or hire a professional. Either way, it should only take a weekend to complete. For those considering hiring a professional, it’s important to understand there are two types of landscapes: landscape architects and contractors — and each one serves a specific purpose.
Tips: Consider creating a walkway and adding solar lighting. In addition, planting a mature tree can be worth as much as $1,000 to $10,000, according to the Council of Tree and Landscape Appraisers.
