Summer Landscaping Ideas to Boost Curb Appeal and Attract Tenants

Summer presents an ideal opportunity for property owners to enhance the appearance of their rental property. Maintaining an appealing outdoor space not only enhances aesthetics of a property but also adds value and curb appeal. It is essential to adopt landscaping practices that not only beautify but also thrive in the local environment. 

Ideas to make your property appealing to renters.

Well-Manicured Lawn

To achieve a well-manicured lawn, regular mowing and edging are paramount. Keep grass at an optimal height of around 2.5 to 3 inches, as this encourages healthy root growth and shades out weeds. Edging along sidewalks and driveways provides a clean, polished look, enhancing the overall appearance of the property.

Native and Drought-Resistant Plants

Incorporating native plants and drought-resistant species into landscaping not only supports local ecosystems but also reduces water usage and maintenance efforts. Invest in plant species that are well-suited to local climate and thrive with minimal water and care.

Vibrant Flowers for Color

Introduce pops of color to your landscape with vibrant flowers like black-eyed Susans, Lantanas or Texas Sage. These native plants are great for adding vibrancy to the rental property. 

Natural Pathways and Garden Beds

Enhance the aesthetic appeal of the property by integrating natural elements such as gravel or stone for pathways and wooden garden beds. These features help in providing practical delineation and guiding visitors through the outdoor space while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic.

Outdoor Lighting

Enhance the outdoor ambiance by illuminating pathways and showcasing landscaping features with outdoor lighting. Strategically placed lights enhance visibility and safety while also creating a tranquil setting during the evening.

Inviting Outdoor Living Spaces

Create inviting outdoor living areas with comfortable seating and shade options such as umbrellas or pergolas. These areas extend the indoor living spaces, offering opportunities for leisure and socializing amidst the natural surroundings.

Hiring Landscapers

A skilled landscaper has the knowledge and equipment necessary to maintain outdoor spaces on the property efficiently and professionally. They can assist with regular upkeep of the outdoor areas.

By implementing these landscaping practices, one can create an outdoor space that is both visually appealing and sustainable. It's advisable to consult with a property manager for advice on enhancing design elements for the outdoor space. A property manager can provide valuable insights and tailored recommendations to meet specific needs, ensuring optimal curb appeal and long-term landscape success. Additionally, property managers have access to landscapers and contractors who can perform regular maintenance of the outdoor areas.
