Lets take a minute to talk about a few benefits of having an up-kept property:
1) Affects Your Mood
Your mood is directly linked to the environment around you. In 2013, the University of Maryland conducted a study about the benefits of a properly maintained landscape. The results of this study showed that individuals exposed to a positive landscaped environment had significantly lower blood pressure, reduced muscle tension, and increased attention spans. A beautifully landscaped property will decrease your stress hormones, creating a sense of relaxation.
​
2) Enhances Security
In the criminology world, the broken windows crime prevention theory was first developed in 1982. In short, this policing model shows that visible signs of minor crimes and disorder will lead to the occurrence of more serious crimes. If the minor disorders were eliminated, the more serious crimes would not occur. Now to relate this concept to your property, the University of Illinois conducted experiments with inner-city neighborhoods. Studies showed that graffiti, littering, vandalism, and violent crimes on properties with up-kept lawns were significantly less than the properties with poorly maintained grass areas. A poorly maintained property will subconsciously tell a criminal
that the person living there is not paying attention and does not care.
​
3) Increases Property Value
Lastly, a thick green lawn and properly maintained landscape increases the value of your home by approximately 15-20 percent. If you are planning to sell your home, a positive curb appeal will attract more customers, giving you a better chance to sell for the price you want. During those first few moments when someone pulls up in front of your home, their entire mentality of the house can be changed just by what the lawn looks like. Spending a few bucks right now might not be ideal, but the return on investment will significantly outweigh the upfront cost when your home sells quick. See below for a before and after picture.
