6 Ways To Get Your Garden Ready For Sale

Often forgotten about, your outdoor space, whether it be a garden or a patio area, can be make or break when selling a house. Especially since the first lockdown in 2020, a lot of buyers are prioritising having some outdoor space of their own so it’s never been more important to get your garden ready for sale. Below are six simple ways you can spruce it up!

1. Start simple by removing dead plants. You might not have even noticed them, but a fresh pair of eyes certainty will, and it doesn’t give a great impression on how you care for your home. If you’re feeling more adventurous or have a large garden, it’s worth trimming hedges back too.

2. Not a gardener? Or perhaps you only have a patio area? Topiary trees are your answer! They look smart, welcoming, and as they are artificial, they are very low maintenance. With lots of varieties available, you can choose something to suit your style. Also, you can take them with you when you move so they are worth the investment.

3. A lick of paint can make a huge difference… so give your fences a fresh coat before you put your property up for sale. Again, you may not have noticed the current state of your fence panels, but they will really tidy up your garden and give it a smart and clean feel. It’s all in the detail!

4. Add a splash of colour to your garden or patio area by purchasing some hanging baskets. Another simple, low maintenance option that can really brighten up your outside space and make the photos pop. Another item you can take with you when you move too!

5. A bit more of an advanced suggestion, but if you have a patio area, giving it a jet wash can really freshen up your outdoor space and make it feel clean and tidy.

6. Invest in some outdoor furniture. Whether it be rattan furniture, or a simple bistro table and chairs, it makes the outdoor space feel like a living area with personality and will allow prospective buyers to imagine themselves living there.
