A New Planting = A New Image
Adding to the Value of your Home
This picture depicts a typical uninspiring foundation
planting of many of our older homes here in Western Pa. We can
do much better.
While this picture, taken a year after a new planting was
installed, shows a world of improvement. Not only has the street
view improved, the home's value has also increased.
So what was it that made the difference?
- Planting in depth, more than a single row of plants.
- The use of a wide variety of complimentary plants
that possess many different colors, sizes and textures.
- Planting on both sides of the walk which promotes
a feeling of enclosure and comfort in those entering the
home.
- The inclusion of large decorative planter that provides
an individual touch and a place for a changing seasonal
plant display.
As mentioned in this article, "Fall
is For Planting," so let's get started!
