6 Landscaping enhances new & existing homes AUCTION 32 High Street, Leeston Timeless Luxury - Your ideal family home awaits. An entertianers paradise! With four generous bedrooms, master with an updated en-suite and private study. All this set on a private section of just over a quarter-acre. rwmetro.co.nz/MET37971 Metro Team Ltd Licensed (REAA 2008) Auction 09 November 2023 at 11:00am at Ray White City Office View By appointment or at one of the advertised open homes. 4A2B2I1C1J Sarah Rogers 021 687 433 sarah.rogers@raywhite.com Building in a housing subdivision invariably means the developer will require you to submit a landscaping plan along with your house design, to be approved before building commences. Just as important as considering the features for your home will be your outdoor setting. Indoor/outdoor requirements will influence your choice of house design and how it will be sited on the section for a sunny yard and best protection from prevailing winds like the easterly. Having a second courtyard area offering shelter from the north-west wind is also an advantage in Selwyn. A well thought out landscape plan will also incorporate off-street parking space for vehicles while ensuring your home is attractive from the street. You might want to factor in parking for a caravan, motorhome or extra vehicles as well as a turning circle for safe turning and exiting your property (a legal requirement for back sections). The developer will only want to see a landscape outline for the part of your property which will be on view from the street. When choosing the design for your home, address where you want hard surfaces (driveway, paths and patios), lawn, play areas and garden beds so it is suitably positioned on the section. Even if not all hard surface areas are completed at the end of the build, knowing where they will be located will be helpful. If your build is nearing completion, autumn is a good time to sow grass as the cooler morning and evening dew assists growth. As winter descends on us, ready lawn is a better option at least at the front of the section, which the developer will require to be completed before moving in. Your backyard could be left until spring (another Landscaping presents a good first impression, attracting buyers. good time for seeding a lawn) if you are happy to put up with the mud over winter. When selling an existing home, putting effort into landscaping your yard could add value by presenting a good first impression and attracting buyers. You need not rip out overgrown established plants. Selective culling and pruning can make a huge difference to the look of a garden. Avoid hacking everything down low. Instead take out sprawling branches and thin shoots, leaving a solid trunk; planting flowers like lobelia, primula, pansies and polyanthus underneath for impact. Add a layer of mulch and spray the lawn for weeds then follow up with lawn fertiliser to give a lush green look. The first thing people see is your home’s exterior – the cladding, colours and landscaping. Putting effort into these features has the potential to add value to new and existing properties. A garden need not be masses of work. Planning and choosing the right plants for the location and your lifestyle can create a relatively low maintenance outdoor setting while enhancing your home. Selling your home? Potential buyers are likely to be living in your neighbourhood, it’s an area that they already love and are actively seeking to stay in. That’s why it makes sense to advertise your property in the Selwyn Property Guide. For cost effective, highly targeted advertising that delivers results, contact a local Real Estate Company that advertises in the Selwyn Property Guide. 73 The place to sell a Selwyn Property!
