Dress up the Front Yard for Curb Appeal

IMAGE CREDIT

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.

Best Plants And Landscaping For Bryan College Station

IMAGE CREDIT

Home of the Texas A&M Aggies and Heisman winner Johnny Manziel, Bryan College Station is one of the best places to live anywhere to live in the US. With plenty of jobs, family friendly attractions as well as the fun of a Texas college city, Bryan College Station stands out. When landscaping your house in this part of the country, you need to take a few things into consideration, as the weather here is quite extreme and unpredictable. It can go from monsoon type weather to months of drought in the same year so you need plants that are hearty and can take a good deal of sunlight. Here are a few good examples of great plants that thrive in this area.

Blood Leaf Banana: This striking plant is known for its foliage, which is quite beautiful, and its ability to take an extreme amount of sunlight. Planted in singles or in groups, this plant makes great accent pieces to any home or garden. Be careful in small areas though as this plant makes leaves close to 10 inches and can dwarf small spaces. This one also makes a good potted plant as long as the area gets sun.

Yellow Bells: While these absolutely gorgeous flowers grow well in sunlight, they will need some afternoon shade during the hottest parts of the day. They grow quite high and will need some trimming but make great landscaping plants closer to the home where they will get shade.

Plumbago: These wonderful plants will grow into large bushes and will grow on a trellis if you have the patience, which pays off with the beautiful blue flowers it produces. Thriving in the hottest summers, this plant is nearly resistant to all diseases, conditions, and even deer. This perennial can be used nearly anywhere in a landscaping project.

Watering Guidelines

Image credit

There are certain watering guidelines for lawns throughout Central Texas.  As a homeowner, you want a nice looking lawn.  A beautiful lawn will enhance the look of the exterior of your home, giving your home great curb appeal. 

For the latter part of the winter and the early onset of spring, which would be January and February, the rainfall is pretty adequate in the area so not as much watering is needed.  If there is no rain for 3-4 weeks, it is recommended that you water your lawn.

March, April and May are spring months in the state.  Rainfall will really depend on the season but you want to water your lawn about once per week if you see less than an inch of rainfall.

Summer months are scorchers in Texas.  June, July, August and the early part of September can be hot and downright brutal on your lawn.  If there has been less than an inch of rainfall then you need to heavily water each section of your lawn at the minimum of twice per week. 

Fall is also known as brown patch season and occurs in the latter half of September and October.  Brown patch season is mainly triggered by too much watering so reduce the frequency that you water your lawn during this time of the year.  For the latter half of September you only want to water your lawn once a week if there has been no rain.  In October, if there has been no rain, only water your lawn twice that month.

November and December are late fall and early winter season.  The rainfall during this period is usually adequate enough that you don’t have to water your lawn hardly at all.  If there has been no rain for 3-4 weeks then you will want to give your lawn a good watering.

Texas summers can be tough on your lawn.  However, just by adhering to simple watering guidelines, you can maintain your beautiful green lawn with ease.

Plants That Grow Best In College Station

Image credit

College Station is a part of Texas that sees some pretty hot summer months.  As a homeowner, you may think that nothing you plant will  survive.  This is not so since there are some plants that fair better in the central part of the state than others; these are known as native plants.

Plant Noisette Rose is from the Rosaceae family and Rosa genus.  The cultivar is Juane Desprez.  This plant grows to a height of 12-50 feet with spacing that needs to be 10-12 feet apart.  The bloom colors are in the yellow family.  The shape is double, quartered and cupped with an extreme fragrance.  The bloom time for the Noisette Rose is  repeatedly in late spring to early summer.

The Shrimp Plant is part of the Acanthaceae family, Justicia genus and Lemon Sorbet cultivar.  The plant grows to a height of 24-36 inches and needs to be spaced 24-36 inches apart.  The flowers will bloom into a yellowish green color with evergreen foliage.  The Shrimp Plant grows repeatedly.

The Purple Bee Balm plant is from the Lamiaceae family, Monarda genus, Peter’s Purple cultivar and they are in the Perennials category.  These plants grow to a height of 4-6 feet with beautiful colors in the purple family such as violet and lavender.  The bloom time is late spring, early summer and mid summer.

The Tropical Hibiscus plant is part of the Malvaceae family, the genus of Hibiscus and the Jane Cowl cultivar.  This plant grows to a height of 6-10 feet and should be spaced 36-48 inches apart.  The plant produces a bloom in coral colors with evergreen foliage.  This plant needs full sun and blooms repeatedly all year long.

The best advice is to start small.  Each time you have a successful plant, try another next time around.  The key is to keep your landscape modest and not use too many different types of plants or those that are not necessarily native to College Station or Central Texas.

Curb Appeal - See How It Enhances Your Home Value

Image credit

Selling houses in Bryan College Station can be not only lucrative but actually quite fun. With a great community and the built in college spirit of Texas A&M it’s easy to see why many people choose to live here. A few simple steps on creating a great first impression on buyers will not only lead them inside, it will often lead to good sales. Creating curb appeal to a home only requires a few simple things but they mean so much more to buyers than you would think.

One of the main steps in creating curb appeal to a home is simply a good scrub. If the home has vinyl siding or a hard surface finish, a good power washing will take years of dirt and dust off the outside of the house, giving it a fresh look it may not have seen in a while. Bringing out the best color of the house gives buyers an awesome first impression. Also consider sweeping the roof to avoid letting potential buyers see the Frisbees and assorted toys that were left up there.

While landscaping gives a house great curb appeal, one does not need to go overboard. Planting shrubs is nice but often not as necessary as you think since many buyers will have their own landscaping ideas. Simply give the lawn a clean, weed free surface and clean edges to give buyers a canvas on which they can paint their own ideas. This is where using less gives you more appeal since many buyers will want to do their own thing with the landscaping once they buy the house.

Staging Your Home for Sale - Home Improvement Tips to Help You

Image credit

Staging a home for an open house can be interesting for any realtor. Knowing the proper balance of charm and modern touches will attract potential buyers and get great offers.

Although selling houses in Bryan College Station is getting easier with each year, a few staging tips for any house will give your listings a better glance from potential buyers.  Here are just a few:

Take the gender out of the master bedroom: using neutral color paint and bedding that has no overly female or masculine tones gives appeal to both sexes as they can picture the room for themselves. Simply highlight the space and let your buyers imagine their own touches.

Instead of removing an old fireplace screen, give it a new look: Repainting the old fireplace screen takes it from old and dull to bold and brilliant. You can get fire proof spray paints at any hardware store in many finishes from black to brass colors.

Remove clutter and focus on basics: Remove any breakable objects such as figurines or other personal objects as well as excess pictures that can distract potential buyers from the overall home you want to present.

Touch up the bathroom for extra credit: Give the bathroom extra sparkle by really cleaning shower doors and all surfaces. This gives potential buyers a good look at everything they like as well as things they may want to change. Giving them a clean canvas to paint their dream bathroom makes them more likely to make an offer.

Landscaping Tips for Your Home - Plants that Adds Class and Sophistication

Image credit

Central Texas has one of the harshest climates in the US when it comes to quality landscaping. It can be hard to find flowers and plants that can survive both the extreme heat and sometimes extreme cold weather that hits the region. Bryan College Station is certainly no exception to this rule but if you want your listings to stand out above the others, here are a few really good plants or trees that easily survive the climate with little maintenance.

Pittosporum and Junipers are shrubs that are not only really tough and grow easily; they make really good screens when fully grown. For a really interesting effect, trim the bottom branches only and turn those ordinary big shrubs into little trees. This effect lasts quite a while and needs little to no maintenance.

For a really great locally grown fruit tree that most people not from Southeast Texas have never seen, you could try the Loquat tree. This fruit looks and tastes a bit like apricots and would be a delight to children and adults who have never had this easy to grow fruit tree.

Bryan College Station is a college town so why not use some English Ivy to give a house the classic look of Ivy league sophistication. The effect really looks great on brick homes and can really spruce up taller homes with a great deal of wasted space on exterior walls.

Central Texas homes can be easy to landscape as long as you follow a few basic rules in regards to the climate and how much direct sunlight plants can get. Great landscaping not only gives a house great curb appeal, it can really give the house an edge over the many other listings in the area.

Inside Home Maintenance : How to Add Appeal To Your Homes

IMAGE CREDIT

With so much to offer residents, Bryan College Station has become one of the best places to live in Central Texas. With sales and prices rebounding from the lows set a few years ago, the housing market here is picking up pace quickly. When it comes to showing and selling homes, there are a few easy maintenance tips that will help you not only get better offers on your listings you will get more overall sales.

Take care of the flooring: Although it may not look like much, a broken or cracked floor tile can really turn off potential buyers. Replacing a floor tile is quite easy and can be done in an hour and sets in just one day. Many buyers do not want to see work that has to be done; they want to see the potential projects they wish to do.

A little modernization goes a long way: Nothing’s worse for a potential buyer than to enter a home and see ungrounded wall outlets they would expect to see in their grandparent’s home. Not having a place for a television to plug into is quite a turn off for anyone looking at a house to buy. Having the outlets replaced often takes very little effort for an electrician or even a good maintenance person and makes a great impression on buyers.

When preparing a house to sell, a little common sense goes a long way in making a great impression on buyers. Think about what you would want to see and envision your potential clients.

Curb Appeal Improvement Tips : Improving the Front Lawn

Image Credit

Home of the Aggies of Texas A&M, Bryan College Station is not only a fun place to live, it offers residents great opportunities for work and family activities. With homes selling at a decent rate in this growing area, it is good to know a few tips to make your homes stand out above the rest when showing them to potential buyers. Here’s how you can use curb appeal to make not only a great first impression on your buyers, you can even get the best price possible if they like what they see.

One of the best ways to achieve great curb appeal is through the front lawn. A well manicured lawn speaks volumes about the home and gives a clean look to potential buyers. Make sure that not only is the lawn well taken care of, you also want clean lines between the lawn and any concrete surfaces. This can be taken care of with a good edger and adds the finishing touch to a well manicured surface.

Any shrubs around the home may also need trimmed as to avoid obscuring any view of the windows. Giving shrubs a good trimming gives a clean look to any landscaping already in place and gives potential homeowners a great first impression of the house.

Taking care to make sure any concrete surfaces are power washed is also a great way to give a home decent curb appeal. That oil stain on the driveway often gives potential buyers an impression of work that will need done before they even enter the house and that will turn off many buyers before they even get the chance to see the inside.

Home Outside Maintenance in Bryan-College Station

Image credit

Bryan College Station is one of the few really great college towns that not only offers the fun but also the peaceful living that many families quite enjoy. Home of Texas A&M University, this town has seen home sales and prices on the rise since the housing market crash of 2008. Selling homes here can be fun and quite lucrative as this picturesque city is a haven for those wishing to enjoy good city life with country living qualities. Here are a few good home maintenance tips to ensure you home gets good views and perhaps even a great sale price.

•      On the outside of the home, a good power washing from time to time really helps; especially with brick homes which dull with time. This will brighten up the reds and grays and really make darker bricks bolder. This makes the home look newer and really brightens up in pictures. Take care to also clean rain gutters and awnings of all debris as this is also aesthetically pleasing.

•     Landscaping is important as this really gives look and shape to the home. Although you may consider adding shrubbery and flowers, you may only need to keep the existing plants and lawn well groomed and free of weeds and overgrowth. Make sure lines separating the sidewalks and driveways from the lawn are clean and straight. This gives symmetry to the front and rear of the home and gives them a fresh look.

•       Any outside wooden surfaces will need sanding and a fresh coat of paint. Replacing wooden shutters with vinyl is also just as easy of an option.

Most potential homebuyers often make assumptions about the quality of a home before even stepping inside. A few good maintenance steps to keep the outside looking fresh will give customers good reason to step inside.
