Top 3 Outdoor Home Improvements To Maximize Your ROI

By Stacey Chaffin

Home is not just a place, it’s a feeling. My number one priority as an agent is to bring my clients that feeling and in turn, bring them home.

Do you want to increase the value of your Utah home? As a home improvement specialist, I know the secret to boosting your value in the Utah market: improving your outdoor space. Here are three key ways to transform your landscaping and outdoor spaces to boost your property’s value:

1. Invest in professional landscaping. Investing in professional landscaping is one of the most effective ways to elevate your property’s appeal. A professional landscaper can design a cohesive layout that complements the architecture of your home which might include a mix of trees, shrubs, flowers, and hardscaping elements like pathways, retaining walls, and patios. Well-placed lighting can also highlight the landscape’s best aspects and enhance security.

2. Create functional outdoor living spaces. Consider adding a deck, patio, or pergola to provide a comfortable area for spending time with others. For example, a well-equipped outdoor kitchen allows for seamless outdoor entertaining. A fire pit is also a nice addition as it creates a cozy gathering spot for family and friends, making your property more attractive to buyers.

3. Enhance curb appeal with simple upgrades. Simple upgrades like fresh mulch, colorful plants, and well-maintained lawns can instantly make your home look more appealing. Keep your lawn in top shape by regularly mowing, watering, and fertilizing. I also recommend planting seasonal flowers or installing window boxes that will add a splash of color and charm. Power washing surfaces, trimming overgrown bushes, and keeping gutters clean also go a long way in attracting buyers without any extra cost.
