Improving your street appeal through landscaping is one of the fastest ways to add value to your home.

The team at Banyule Maintenance works with a lot of clients to help with makeovers of hard landscaping. Fixing or building solid and permanent features in a garden or outdoor area, such as retaining walls, rocks, pavers and garden edges can make a big difference.

These elements help with structure, functionality and the visual appeal of an outdoor space and can create more value to your property.

An attractive and well-designed outdoor area is likely to attract more potential buyers a beautifully landscaped garden can act as a key selling point for a property, helping to differentiate it from others on the market.

Some of the practical benefits of retaining walls are to help control soil erosion, to provide support for slopes and to create raised garden beds.

For properties with sloped or uneven ground, hard landscaping can also help to transform an unusable or unattractive area into a practical and attractive outdoor space.

Pavers, rocks, and garden edges also provide a range of benefits. Pavers can be used to create pathways, patios and other outdoor entertainment areas. They provide a hardwearing and attractive surface that is easy to maintain and will cope with heavy foot traffic and outdoor elements. Rocks and stones can create rock gardens, rock walls and other features to add texture to your outdoor space.

Garden edges are another important element of hard landscaping. They provide a clear boundary between different areas of the garden and can help with structure. Edging can also be used to define garden beds and to prevent grass or other plants from spreading into other areas.

Hard landscaping can also be used to create privacy and protection in an outdoor space. We can also help to install screens to block neighbours from looking in on your property or to create enclosed outdoor spaces.  This can be particularly useful for properties with a large outdoor area, as it can help to create more intimate and functional spaces.

Whether you’re looking to sell your home or simply want to create a more attractive and functional outdoor area, hard landscaping is an investment that is likely to pay off in the long term.
