How much does landscaping actually raise property value?

wyldflwr34 asked:


I bought a house a year ago, since then I’ve added landscaping.
Flowers, borders to it, bushes etc in the front and backyard. I’m working really hard on it with my kids because I want my yard to look nice and I know that it raises property value…
But how much?
Any Experts in Real Estate and what adds value and how much value it adds?
ok, I’m no expert but I do know one thing for sure after studying various aspects of Real Estate and investing for the past 10 years….lanscaping DOES raise value…although limited, but it does. My question was how much. I know half a trillion other things that can add value to my home and MORE value than lanscaping….but that wasnt my question.

How do you remove wild shrubs and trees around your yard?

I have tons of shrubs that have grown around the fence in my back yard of the old house I have bought. Currently I just trim them to keep them in control. But eventually I would like to build a new fence and I wonder if there is an easy way to remove these (money is an issue). I live in Atlanta Georgia - so my backyard edges are jungle like.
If you just saw them off, dosn’t that mean you have to saw them off the rest of your life? Is there a more permanent solution?
