Consider Outdoor Spaces When Shopping for a New Home

As you plan for your new home, it’s important to consider all aspects of design. From the way your home presents itself to the street, to the way it complements the mature trees on your property, each element plays a role in creating a cohesive and visually stunning home and garden.

Investing in a new home is a significant decision, and the amenities of the home are just as important as its exterior design. As you begin to explore potential properties, take note of the exterior features of the home. Are there any cracks in the foundation? Do the gardens appear level, or have they shifted? Is the swimming pool properly maintained, with water levels square with the tile line? Is the irrigation system functional, and does the site drain properly?

In addition to these practical considerations, it’s also important to consider the safety of your property. If you have small children or pets, are there any potentially toxic plants in the garden? Are pool fences creatively placed to enhance the property rather than detract from it? Do you have a plan in place to maintain the beauty of your property over time?

If you’ve found a home that meets many of your criteria but you want to make the exterior your own, it may be time to consider your exterior vision.
