Designing a Garden: Climate, Cost & ROI All Factor, Says RenovatorsPlace.com
(PRWeb) July 27, 2007 -- In a recent article on RenovatorsPlace.com, writer Allison Beatty broaches the topic of landscaping and return on investment (ROI) by suggesting that money might be better spent on flowers and groundcover rather than expensive trees. "Deciding What to Put in Your Garden," discusses how homeowners interested in enhancing the value of their homes should consider the cost-effectiveness of their garden design and what their return on investment (ROI) might be (http://www.renovatorsplace.com/dsp_articles.cfm?l_article_id=108&l_cat_id=77&catid=41). RenovatorsPlace.com, a top online home improvement resource, has answers on creating the right garden design based on lifestyle, budget and climate.
According to Charity Curley, Vice President of HGTV.com, landscaping is one of the top home improvements for best ROI and cites an average return at resale of 100 percent. In a recent online blog, Burlingame, Calif. real estate agent Lenore Wilkas lists the five landscaping improvements for top ROI as lawn, trees and shrubs, flowers, bark and fencing and advises homeowners that, "There really is a pay back when you have a nice looking yard."
Designing a garden means more than considering whether the flowers will survive the winter. There are also the factors of maintenance, cost and individuality. When gardening, the experts at RenovatorsPlace.com suggest a comprehensive landscape plan that incorporates all of the above. Short on room? A container garden can maximize space with multiple levels of potted plants on stands and hangers. Don't want the burden of maintenance? Woody shrubs that bloom seasonally can be used to surround the home with color nearly year-round. Renovators Place.com has garden design tips, as well as home improvement help, for visitors to the site looking for general advice, ideas, or trouble-shooting help (http://www.renovatorsplace.com).
