Dress up the Front Yard for Curb Appeal

Curb appeal plays a big part in how others look at your home and also in how you look at your home. Driving up to a beautiful home increases the home's value both financially and emotionally. When you have a nice looking home, you take a little more pride in the house and it offers you and your family beautiful surroundings to enjoy together.

Caring for the Yard

When it comes to curb appeal, the first time that you want to work on is the yard. Keeping up with yard maintenance makes it easy to have a nice looking yard. The better you keep up with maintenance, the less that you will have to do each week when it comes to the yard.

 If you have grass, make sure to keep the grass green. There are fertilizers that you can put down to make the grass grow thicker and more attractive. Watering grass every few days is an absolute necessity in the Texas heat. Keep the grass properly watered and place down fertilizer for a yard that will make your neighbors green with envy.

Plant Trees

A tree is a great way to beat the heat in the hot College Station, Texas sun. If you do not have one, plant a tree in the front yard. Trees can be purchased from flower nurseries as well as some home improvement stores. Remember to cut branch as necessary to keep your tree properly pruned.

Use Rock Art

Some homeowners may feel that it is difficult to keep plants and flowers alive under the blazing southwestern sun. One way to avoid having to try to keep plants alive but still have a well decorated yard is to create a rock garden and rock decorations. Line the sidewalk to your front door with beautiful stones. In the space designated for a garden, create a pretty sitting area with beautiful surrounding stones.
