First impressions important in home sales

Curb appeal. Itʼs that good impression that a prospective buyer receives when looking at a home for purchase.

It starts at the curb before the buyer even walks into the home. As more homeowners recognize the value of improving such first impressions, thereʼs a growing interest in landscaping – with plantings, stone work and the creation of points of interest, such as fountains or enclosed spaces.

As some designers have said, ʻthe garden is the new kitchenʼ. Lately, the desire to improve curb appeal has also meant the creation of a distinctive driveway.

Treating the driveway as part of the landscaping is one of the hottest new design trends. An increasingly popular driveway design choice is also a practical one: concrete pavers.

Many homeowners consider pavers a more attractive and permanent solution than asphalt – an important investment in improving their homeʼs curb appeal.

Pavers are easier to maintain and last longer without needing to be repaired.
