- Renovate the Front of Your Property
The first and perhaps most obvious way to elevate your curb appeal is to renovate the front of your property.

- Change up the Landscape
Landscaping is so important to the exterior of a home, and you can get creative with it in so many ways. Lush lawns and hanging plants are great ways to add personality to a property and give it a pop of color. Another option is to rid yourself of the greenery and consider decomposed granite. This trend is starting to catch on across the country due to its functionality; you don’t need to water it and it helps to keep dust and dirt at bay. This option won’t break the bank either and is totally DIY-able!
