Curb appeal, in Bryan College Station, Texas,
is important. Not only does it draw potential home buyers to your home if and
when you put it up for sale, it also adds character to the front yard. The
front yard is just as important to the back yard. If you do not have a lot of
time to maintain a lush landscape, use simple techniques to enhance and wake up
a bland facade.
Use shrubbery that is easy to maintain and
works with the climate in this part of Texas. Bushes with waxy leaves and
evergreen shrubs well. Ornamental grasses also work well and should be near the
outside perimeters of your landscaping closest to the house. The shrubs should
be planted in front of ornamental grasses. Other shrubs that work well include
butterfly bushes and lavender. Lavender grows tall and reseeds itself, so one
per side is sufficient.
Do not use too many colors and always try to
match the colors of your plants to complement the color of your home. Another
idea to help the curb appeal of your home is to paint the entry door a more
bold color, while still matching the color scheme of the home. Use house
numbers that are easy to see from the street and contrast in color from the
color of the house. Also, consider painting your cement or wood steps. It adds
some drama to the entrance.
In some cases, less is more. You can still
make a statement without having to spend thousands and plant hundreds of
plants. If you prefer to not use mulch, pea gravel is just fine. There are
colored gravels available that look similar to mulch. It is also safer, since
mulch can catch on fire if it gets too dry.
