Did you know that landscaping your home can add resale value of roughly 7 percent? According to information provided by the American Nursery and Landscape Association, "homes with "excellent" landscaping can expect a sale price about 6 to 7 percent higher than equivalent houses with "good" landscaping, while improving landscaping from "average" to "good" can result in a 4 to 5 percent increase."

Landscaping can also reduce air conditioning costs and trees can help buffer unwanted noises. More great reasons to get outside and work in your garden. Happy Gardening.
