Planning for an Outdoor Wedding

Landscaping can make a big impact on the appearance of a home. A well manicured lawn, trimmed hedges, and colorful flowers can greatly increase curb appeal and make the home seem warm and inviting. The problem for many homeowners is that landscaping can take a lot of work. Installing hedges, keeping the lawn trimmed, and planting flowers can take hours of hard work outside. Which is why professional landscaping may be the right choice. Here are three reasons to hire professional landscapers.

Adds Value To The Home

The value that landscaping adds to a home can vary greatly from neighborhood to neighborhood. It is likely going to make a bigger difference in a neighborhood full of other well manicured lawns. It's estimated that good landscaping can add as much as 20 percent to a home's overall value. The average cost of a professional landscaping installation runs between $1,503 and $5,341. In many cases the added value that landscaping can add to the home can offset some of the cost of professional landscaping.

Different Levels Of Services

Another reason to consider hiring professional landscapers is that there are different levels of services available to choose from. For those who hate mowing the lawn, there are landscapers who can provide just this service. There are also landscaping services that do everything from mow the lawn to trimming shrubs and everything in between. Simply mowing and maintaining the lawn will cost between $214 and $322 per year. Lawn care along with gardening will cost a little more coming in between $100 and $200 per month on average. Hiring landscapers to take care of regular maintenance can keep the landscape looking great and save the homeowner a lot of time.

Noise Reduction And Flooding Prevention

While hiring a landscaper can improve a home's curb appeal and reduce the amount of work for homeowners, there are also a few other benefits. Landscaping can actually reduce the amount of noise entering into the home and help curb flooding problems in some areas. Homes that have flooding issues may need to have a new drainage system placed within the landscape. Professional landscapers can address this issue. The average cost for a new drainage system is between $1,821 and $5,015. Landscapers can also address noise issues by planting trees and shrubs that are dense enough to absorb some of the noise making its way toward the home.

Hiring professional landscapers is something that many homeowners are reluctant to do since it can be expensive. However, often professional landscaping is the right choice. Landscaping, especially when done by professionals, can add a lot of value to the home. Hiring landscapers can also save homeowners a lot of time since the professionals handle the work for them. Noise reduction and flooding prevention are also benefits of hiring landscapers.
