5 ways to boost your Keller home's curb appeal


Spring and summer continue to be the most popular months for selling your home. Whether or not you are selling, your Keller home could surely use some sprucing up to add to its curb appeal. By following a these simple steps, you can increase your home’s value without breaking the bank.

Rejuvenate the outdoor living area. Before making a trip to your local home center, make sure to wash the dirt, mildew and general grime off the outside of your house. A power washer is a great tool to help clean siding and renew the surface of decks. A good washing will also bring out the true color of a beautiful flagstone walkway or patio.

Invest in the best tools for the job. One of the most useful tools in creating curb appeal is a hose. From power washing your deck and siding to maintaining your lawn and garden, your hose takes more abuse than any other tool. A durable hose is perfect for a variety of outdoor projects.

Give your yard a manicure. When its best features are hidden by an overgrown lawn or shrubs, your home can appear uninviting. It is recommended to regularly mow grass to a length of two and a half to three inches. This not only helps the grass to grow, but it also provides for a thicker lawn to prevent weeds. Adding landscaping bricks around the border of your garden and flowerbeds also gives your lawn a more premium look.

Add seasonal color with the right vegetation. When choosing plants and flowers, consider what they will look like during different times of the year. For an all-season curb appeal, plant shrubs and flowers that offer colorful fall foliage or leaves with unique textures when not in full bloom. To help you get the best visual results, scout out the ideal locations around your yard before planting. Be sure to account for areas that are always in the sun or are well-shaded.

Maintain the look. One of the key steps to preserving a healthy lawn and garden is to provide a consistent amount of water per week through a regular watering schedule. You’ll want to choose a hose that has the durability to last even after you’ve moved into your new home.

Boosting your curb appeal is one way to add value to your Keller home. Whether you're selling this season or not, these budget-friendly tips can make a difference.
