Why bother landscaping a piece of real estate you've bought?

By , About.com Guide

Question: Why bother landscaping a piece of real estate you've bought?
Interested in raising real estate value for your property? Don't just think in terms of your house: proper landscaping can raise the real estate value of your property, too.
Answer: Those who have just become homeowners for the first time might want a good reason why they should bother landscaping at all. The fact that landscaping can raise real estate values may be a good enough reason for many.

If enhanced enjoyment of your property through landscaping is insufficient incentive, consider this: landscaping enhancements can raise your real estate's value by at least fifteen percent, according to many.
