What Are The Benefits Of Professional Landscaping?

Upgrading the look of your home through professional landscaping has many benefits such as adding color and beauty, expanding your living space, aiding in relaxation, attracting wildlife, and offering an area for entertainment. Well designed landscaping can even result in an increase in property value.

Forest Landscaping can transform a previously unusable outdoor area into a functional living space. Imagine cooking a meal for family and friends in your outdoor kitchen, then serving it on the patio. Your outdoor living space can be an extension of your family room, where you go to relax and unwind. The options are endless.

Landscaping your property can save and make you money. The US Dept. of Energy found that strategically placed trees can reduce a household's energy consumption by as much as 25%. Additionally, the American Public Power Association found that landscaping can reduce air conditioning costs by as much as much as 50%.

By enhancing your home's aesthetic value you will also increase the curb appeal, enticing potential buyers. One edition of The Wall Street Journal's Smart Money magazine stated, "If you spend 5 percent of the value of your home on landscaping, and do it wisely, you can get 150 percent or more of your money back."

Adding color through flora can transform your yard into a work of art. Seasonal pops of color throughout your property can accentuate aspects of your home and make previously unsightly or boring areas a gorgeous focal point. Maintaining a well manicured landscape will also make your home stand out among your neighbors.

Landscaping can transform your yard into your very own oasis. Whether you're starting from scratch or looking to revamp your existing landscaping, contact Forest Landscaping at 708-516-4619 if you live in Northwest Indiana and the Chicago Southland.
