A Grower Perspective

I just received a wonderful phone call.  A few weeks ago, some customers bought Leylandii Cypress (Cupressocyparis leylandii) trees from us to create a screen.  They were trying to sell their house and wanted to block off the neighbors house to create a more private yard.  Their house was on the market and they thought this might help improve their chances for selling.

This customer just called and they were so thrilled having just received a signed offer on their house.  Many prospective buyers had toured their house previously but the first people to tour after the trees were planted were the ones that made an offer.  Coincidence?  Maybe.

Or perhaps the enriching of the landscape and the presence of these trees sweetened the deal and removed the

concerns of privacy that may have kept others from seeing the true possibilities of the house.

Is your house on the market or are you thinking about selling your home?  Consider how some strategic plantings may enhance the environment surrounding your home.  You can screen off visual clutter, add lushness and color, greatly improve first impressions, enhance entries and frame the property.

Adding to the landscape is not difficult.  You can do it yourself.  It's a small investment that can pay pay huge dividends.
