Blooming Curb Appeal for National Garden Month

Spring is synonymous with renewal, and nothing turns heads quite like fresh landscaping. In fact, 97% of National Association of REALTORS® members believe curb appeal is important in attracting a buyer. So why not tap into your creativity this National Garden Month with these landscaping trends that blend beauty, sustainability, and timeless curb appeal.

Create an Established Look with Native Plants

Landscaping with native plants instantly enhances curb appeal while giving your home a more established and natural look. Whether you choose vibrant wildflowers, drought-resistant succulents, or lush native grasses, this trend emphasizes rewilding to create landscaping that’s both beautiful and sustainable.

Embrace Bold, Deep Colors for a Striking Pop

Vibrant colors are making their way into landscaping, with blue emerging as a standout color. Check your USDA Plant Hardiness Zones and consider adding blue-hued plants like ‘Blue Moon’ wisteria, Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Nikko Blue,’ or Elijah Blue Fescue to bring a unique and eye-catching element to your outdoor space. You never know when a potential buyer will walk by!

Incorporate Living Walls for Privacy and Green Appeal

Living fences and vertical gardens are on the rise, replacing traditional fences with lush, sustainable alternatives. Not only do these green barriers provide privacy, but they also add texture and beauty to your outdoor space, creating a modern, nature-inspired curb appeal.

Light Up Your Landscape with Solar Pathway Lights

Extend your home’s charm into the evening with strategically placed outdoor lighting. Solar-powered path lights, step lights and uplighting for trees or architectural features create a warm and inviting atmosphere to your house extending its curb appeal past the daylight hours.

Whether you’re going for a simple refresh or a complete landscaping makeover, these curb appeal trends will help your home stand out while embracing sustainability and natural beauty. Give your front yard a little extra TLC this National Garden Month and enjoy a landscape that’s as timeless as it is on-trend!
