Problem: Your home is gorgeous, yet the Curbside appeal of your home or business may be conveying a different message, such as boring, unplanned, unfinished, unwelcoming, lost opportunity…you get the idea!

Solution: Increase the perceived value of your home (property looks loved, planned, and cared for), welcoming (for you and your neighbours), simple (easy to maintain) but beautiful, inviting, good first impression.

Why? Your home is likely your biggest investment, and a nicely landscaped home can really increase the perceived value of your home by creating the impression of a well planned and maintained home.

Not only will you enjoy coming home (goodbye stress or cringing at the thought that your house sticks out on your street), but you will also reap the rewards if you ever sell your home.

The Curbside Appeal Booster is really the essential design Paul will discuss with you during your consultation. In most cases, your return on investment (ROI) will pay for itself 10 Times Over! If you ever sell the home, add 10% to the value of your home or simply sell faster, depending on the real estate market.

Problem: If you own a mature property, your once upon a time beautiful (or unique) landscape plan overgrew, lost its shape and charm, and is currently out of proportion with your home and lifestyle. It makes your property look and feel dated, unkempt, overgrown, unmanageable, and unusable.

And/or perhaps your lawn is growing mostly weeds, is uneven or not growing at all.

If any of the above sounds about right, ask Paul about The Refresher.

Solution: Remove or rejuvenate existing trees, shrubs or plants, press the reset button on your landscaping, regain control of the look of your property, regain function and space on your property, make your outdoor space feel like yours, and increase the curbside appeal and ease of maintenance.

Why? This extremely common situation is very stressful for many homeowners, and often easy to rectify and rejuvenate with an expert eye. It gives a face lift to both your home and your property. Win win!

Problem: Your home has curbside appeal, but so does every home on your street and you are bored of it. You want more. You want to stand out. You want to elevate the look of your home or business property and feel like you are stepping into an oasis each time you pull into your driveway or step outside.

Solution: Everything you need, plus everything you want to create your own outdoor oasis.

Why? This is the Curbside Booster PLUS. With ease of maintenance and versatility in mind, a design solution will take shape during your interactive Private Consultation with Paul that will elevate the existing look and feel of your property. Add value that fits your taste and lifestyle by adding one or more showcase features that will make you feel like you are stepping into a spa when you step outdoors.

Features can really be anything you want. This is the time to be creative. A fire pit, pond, fountain, gazebo, a garden feature, you name it.

Problem: Your brand-new build (house) looks unfinished on the outside, and perhaps causing you to drag mud and little rocks in the house, which could potentially damage your new floors (especially if you have dogs or young children), and is giving you anxiety about what do with that blank slate so that your life can finally start feeling normal again.

Solution: Blank slate landscape design, install lawn, add curbside appeal, add functionality such as walkways, retaining walls, flower beds and more, add defined outdoor space such as stone patios, fire pit, BBQ area and more. The plan can divided into different installation phases (if appropriate).

Why? Landscaping the property of your brand-new home is approached differently than a more mature property because of the sheer amount of basic landscaping you need to do just to make your outdoor space functional. Basics such as topsoil, sod, mulch and essential plants will likely take a large sum of your budget, before you can even get to the “The Rockstar” installations.

Depending on the size of your property, lawn installation plus Curbside Appeal Booster alone maybe your first project. It’s very important to ensure your project is done right the first time with the right amount of topsoil, correct brick work preparation, etc. in order to prevent problems and headaches a few years down the road.
