LANDSCAPING AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO A REAL ESTATE INVESTOR

A good landscape does not only beautify a property but also adds value to it. Landscaping makes the property pleasing to view and attractive to acquire.

One would ask what is Landscaping? Landscaping is changing the appearance of an area of land, esp. by planting trees, flowers, and other plants according to the Cambridge Dictionary. It also refers to any activity that modifies the visible features of an area of land.

Here are some points a real estate investor should consider concerning Landscaping and its importance to the real estate industry as a whole.

Importance Of Landscaping

  1. It Preserves the Environment.
  • Through the persistent and concerted effort in planting of native flora and avoiding chemical usage, keeps green spaces healthy and thriving.

2. It Manages the Soil, Water and Air Pollution.

  • A solution to water pollution is the creation of rain gardens and rejuvenation of wetlands.
  • It is important for real estate developers to seek expert advice (e.g., FNC Projects Ltd) to ensure that the right trees and plants are planted as well as considering other factors like water availability, spacing and wind patterns.
  • Erosion is a major concern which causes fertile land to be destroyed and more flooding to occur. Landscaping through the planting of grass and shrubs, holds the soil together with their roots, thus, reducing pollution in rivers and streams, as well as clogging in water ways

3. It Improves Peoples Mental Health.

  • Scientific studies have shown that nature has a way of improving one’s memory, reducing stress and boosting feeling of happiness when one is surrounded by house plants and trees.

4. It Adds Value to an Area.

Generally, when someone is selling a house, the landscape in that area plays a vital role in determining the value of the house. In most cases, this phenomenon pushes the surrounding localities to step up their development agenda.

Normally areas with beautiful parks and green spaces, attract tourist and visitors which then encourages surrounding houses to be well developed to match up with prices of houses with nice landscapes.
