Sellers: Your Front Yard Deserves a Spring Makeover
It may be a bit chilly yet to starting thinking of spring gardening, but it's high time to start planning a spring makeover of your front yard, especially if you're planning to list your home among Edina homes for sale or Detroit Lakes homes for sale. Start by walking around your property and assessing what needs to be done to boost your curb appeal. Keeping the grass mowed and the shrubs trimmed will help, but adding some color, taking out damaged plants and replacing them in bare spaces with healthy new specimens, and filling in the winter-ravaged ground cover if need be are three projects that can enhance your listed property's looks so potential buyers will stop and take a second look.
- Add Some Color
Planting annuals is an easy, no-brainer way to dress up your property and catch the eye of potential buyers. Perennials are great, but they take time to get established, so you may want to concentrate on bright annuals along sidewalks and in beds fronting the house to dress things up. Paint a picture in your mind with drifts of annuals such as dahlia, calla lilies, various kinds of daisies, salvia, pentas, nicotianas, and many more. Although annuals usually need to be replaced every year, it's worthwhile to plant these big swatches of color for an instant wow effect.

How Sellers Can Gain an Edge
First impressions are crucial when your home is on the market. As potential buyers pull up to your house for the first time, curb appeal is the first indicator of a home that's well-cared for. Having a sharp, well-defined edge is one of the most basic and inexpensive ways of enhancing your landscape and curb appeal. It provides a professional look and a sense of clarity and also prevents grass from invading your sidewalk, driveway, and garden beds.
If you want your home to stand out from other Minneapolis homes for sale or Saint Paul homes for sale, you have to put your best foot forward. Here are four simple steps to give your lawn perfectly-edged sides.

Homeowners: 2020 Outdoor Living Trends
Lawn and garden season is right around the corner, and now is the ideal time to take a look at what landscape designers recommend to create a stunning atmosphere right outside your home. When it comes to 2020's hottest trends, the following are some that are worth talking about.
- Low-Maintenance
If there is any single point to zero in on, low-maintenance landscaping is most certainly the one you want to focus on. Time is precious in the 21st century, and homeowners don't have time to dedicate to endless hours of landscaping chores. At the same time, homeowners still want their landscape to be the talk of the neighborhood. When designing your landscape, strike a balance between keeping it low-maintenance while still including enough grass, shrubbery, plants, and other features to make it enjoyable.
