Boost your winter kurb appeal

Have you ever thought YOUR prospective buyer most likely lives close enough to your home to “drive by '' & inspect it before even contacting the estate agent for an official viewing.

Giving that first best impression even before a viewing is a top priority on our list. We know that the idea of maintaining your front garden or driveway can feel like a chore.

Here are SOME SIMPLE TIPS FOR YOU TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE SET TO IMPRESS, WITH MINIMAL EFFORT THIS WINTER.

1.REMOVE AND SWEEP UP DEAD LEAVES AND FOLIAGE THAT ARE COLLECTING IN WINDSWEPT CORNERS AND UNDER PLANTS.

Whilst leaving the leaves is actually good long term for wildlife and returns nutrients back into the soil they can look unsightly and clutter up garden spaces.

Investing in a garden vacuum, like this one by Draper makes the job quick and easy!

2.BARK MULCH IS YOUR FRIEND
Add a bark mulch onto the borders. Not only does this look more attractive than bare areas of soil but helps to suppress weeds and protect plant roots. 

 **3.ADD COLOUR TO YOUR PORCH AND FLOWER BEDS WITH WINTER FRIENDLY PLANTS & FLOWERS.**By introducing some evergreen plants, such as Buxus sempervirens; skimmia; variegated euonymus; plum leaf heuchera or winter flowers, such as cyclamen, winter flowering pansies, violas and primula to your flower beds and pots you can keep your garden looking fresh through to springtime.

 4.CHECK YOUR GARDEN STRUCTURES
Check that your fences and other garden structures are looking strong and tidy. Ronseal have a great selection of garden wood paint in warming winters or rich jewel tones, all with waterproof technology to last for 5 years.

A leaning fence or rusted gate may be off putting, but with a gentle repair and refresh will have you standing out from a crowd!

Taking these simple steps to boost your curb appeal will certainly catapult your selling success.
