When selling your home, the goal is to sell it quickly for the highest price. With a little effort, you can greatly increase your home's appeal by PUTTING YOURSELF IN THE BUYER'S SHOES.

Tip #2: Spruce up the lawn and landscape

Home buyers associate the condition of your lawn and landscaping with the condition of your home’s interior. By improving the outside, you affect a  buyers’ impression of the entire property. The best ways to enhance the yard include:

•  Mowing and edging the lawn, 
• Seeding, fertilizing and weeding the lawn.
• Keeping up with regular lawn maintenance by frequent watering.
• Trimming and/or removing overgrown trees, shrubs and hedges.
• Weeding and mulching plant beds.
• Planting colorful seasonal flowers in existing plant beds.
• Removing trash, especially along fences and underneath hedges.
• Sweeping and weeding the street curb along your property.

Having trouble keeping weeds out of your landscape bed???   Try "Preen", it's a great product that I've used for years.   Before mulching, spray Round Up on existing weeds and let it set for a day or two.   If it's a tall weed, cut it back.    Sprinkle Preen over the entire landscape area, spread mulch on top, and then sprinkle Preen again.   You won't have weeds for a LONG time!
