Beyond curb appeal

I saw an interesting article in Marketwatch that talked about the value of taking a closer look at the home's landscape before buying. Just as a home inspection helps you determine the condition of the house, looking beyond just how pretty the landscaping is should be an important consideration for buyers when selecting a property to purchase.

The article talked about 6 areas for potential concern

  • plant health
  • placement of tree limbs
  • problems underground
  • the lay of the land
  • foliage proximity to the house
  • deck construction

Please read this interesting and informative article by Amy Hoak at Marketwatch.
