It isn’t Only About Aesthetics
The majority of the time when we sit down and think about starting a landscaping project, it is because we want our front or backyard to look better. Lets face it, everyone feels better about their home when they have a well designed and constructed landscape. Family barbecues would not be the same with weeds and dead grass everywhere. But what are some other benefits of calling Bulger Brothers when you decide it’s time?
Increase the Value of Your Home
A well manicured design does wonders if you are looking to upgrade the resale value of your home compared to a home with little or no landscaping. Think about it. If you pull up to buy a house and the front yard is in complete disarray, what condition are you going to assume the house is in? Even if the inside of the house is in immaculate condition the first impression will stick in the mind of the potential buyer – if they even end up looking at the house! Curb appeal gets people excited about buying. Many real estate agents will recommend you not to bother listing your home until the landscaping is improved.
The Environment
The world is going green and you should get on the bandwagon. Grass and trees work 24/7 to remove dust and smoke particles from the air we breathe. Planting just one tree can remove up to 26 pounds of carbon dioxide per year – or over 17,000kms of car emissions. Not only that, one tree can supply enough oxygen for four people. On top of that, if you want to reduce soil erosion all you need to do is plant trees, shrubs and flowers.
Cooling the Temperature
Winnipeg summers can get HOT. When your home has grass surrounding it rather than just asphalt and cement, cooler temperatures are radiating all around your home and can actually save you money on your air conditioning. You can get strategic with planting trees. Planting taller trees on the south and west side of your home can provide you with shade during the hottest times of the day and reducing your energy costs.
Enhance Your Quality of Life
After being at work all day everyone wants to come home to a warm, welcoming home. A well designed and maintained landscape can help with that. Stressed? Connect with nature by planting a garden and doing work in there every day. If you don’t have a green thumb, create your perfect relaxation or entertainment area in your backyard! There is no doubt that a beautiful yard can improve your mental state.
Businesses Benefit Too
Companies that have a professionally designed and maintained landscape have a significant advantage over those who don’t. If clients and customers are attracted to your yard they are more likely to do business with you because you look more approachable. It signals that you care, not just about the environment but also about your business. It is also more likely your employees will feel more comfortable so their productivity will in turn go up – increasing your revenue.
As you can see there are many reasons why you should considering getting started with your landscaping project. Give us a call and we will collaborate and work with you to help your property achieve all these advantages!
