The Outside of your Home can prevent you from selling it
Too many homeowners focus on fixing up the inside of the home they are preparing to sell. They go to great lengths to make sure it is clutter free, clean, and even add new lighting or paint to brighten things up. Then they sit back expecting potential buyers to be coming along. However, they never stop to realize that the outside of their home can be preventing it from selling.
It is hard to keep the yard clean, especially when it is large but you must do so if you want to sell your home. People driving by to check out the neighborhood are going to see it. What type of impression do you want them to get? If they don’t find your yard to be kept clean they won’t even bother to ask to see the inside of the home. Then they are missing out and you are stuck with the home longer than you want to be.
Spend some quality time cleaning up your yard. Make sure it is free from trash and weeds. If the grass isn’t looking very good then give it some daily attention. It will come to life before you know it. If you have a garden then make sure it looks great. If it is the off season then clear it out so that it isn’t an eyesore for those evaluating your home.
Take a good look at the fence around your property. If it is broken in places then invest the time and money to fix it. If you have a wooden fence gives it a new coat of paint or stain. This will bring new life to it and give your entire yard a breath of fresh air.
The outside of your home needs to be neat and clean as well. Take the time to carefully clean all of the windows until they shine. Keep the porch free from clutter and swept. Try to have some lighting at night on to illuminate the home as well. Even adding a sign that says welcome or a mat at the front entrance will help people feel a warm feeling as they come up to the door.
Trim trees and plants you have around your home so that they look nice instead of like they are growing out of control. Contacting a professional landscaper can help you get creative for a low cost as well. For example if you have an area where nothing grows, why not consider planting a shrub or a layout of colorful rocks? These ideas will be more appealing for those interested in buying a home.
Painting the outside of your home can be a chore, but the one that will definitely help you to sell your home faster. If you don’t have the time or the motivation to take care of these things it is going to result in your home selling slower. It will also result in the offers you get for it being less than you think you should get.
You can easily pay someone to take care of the yard work for you and to paint the house if it needs it. The newspapers are always full of people willing to do such work so contact them for estimates. Investing in such efforts for the outward appearance of your home should be a priority. It is like the book that sits there unread due to the cover being worn or boring. Living up the outside of your home and more people will feel invited in to check it out.

All About Lawns In Your Home
Get rid of boring stretches of grass; change the shape by adding curves, zigzags or making an island bed. Alternatively, create a focal point by planting a specimen tree. Curved lawns give the garden a more casual look while straight lines are suitable for a formal look.
To make curves or to form a circle, drive a small stake into the ground and attach some string to it. At the opposite end of the string, attach a funnel filled with sand. Pull the string taut to the length required, and then use it to make an even curve. The sand will fall making a visible line marking out the shape.
The right type of grass - one that suits your needs and likes the local weather - will always give better results. Grasses vary in the type of climate they prefer, the amount of water and nutrients they need, their resistance to pests, their tolerance for shade, and the degree of wear they can withstand. New grass varieties and mixtures come out on the market every year, ask the expert at your local garden centre about what's right for your particular area and needs.
To prepare ground for a new lawn, rototill the topsoil to a depth of two to three inches. You can usually rent tillers at your local machine and garden hire store to make this job much easier. Then grade, water well and apply a fertilizer high in phosphorus. If you are starting from seed, apply seed using a drop spreader to ensure even coverage. Then lightly rake the seed into the soil to prevent it blowing away. Once the grass is 2 inch (5cm) high, you can begin mowing.
Laying a Lawn:
Turf has the advantage over seed in that you can have a lawn almost instantaneous. From soil preparation to final layout, it's possible to install a modest-sized sod lawn in one day. If you buy turf from a reputable local grower, you are guaranteed to get a grass that grows well in your area. The grower may offer several choices, from low to high maintenance.
You can lay turf at almost any time of year, even when the ground is slightly frozen or during the heat of summer (although you'll need to water more in summer). In comparison, only spring and autumn offer sufficiently favourable conditions for sowing most seed lawns.
Turf is especially useful where patches of lawn have become bare, weedy, or damaged. Winter use of street salt in northern regions is one major cause of damage. After removing the threadbare turf and preparing the soil for planting, you can buy a roll or two of sod at a garden centre and place it over the area. Again, a seeded lawn would take several weeks to fill in and look lush.
If erosion is a problem on a slope, no matter how gentle or steep the incline, turf is the better option. Its healthy, heavy root mat will withstand water runoff even before the lawn is fully established.
On delivery day, water the soil to make it moist and damp but not muddy. Turf should be put down no more than 24 hours after it has been cut at the farm, because the rolled turf will heat up and begin to biodegrade.
Inspect the turf before the delivery truck leaves. Shake it to make sure it doesn't fall apart. The turf should be green and the soil moist. If you don't like the appearance, refuse to accept it and send it back.
Suppliers usually transport turf on pallets carrying 50 to 75 square yards each. To avoid a lot of heavy lifting, ask the driver to place pallets in convenient places around your property (but don't let them drive over walkways or patios, because the combined weight of the truck and the sod can cause damage).
Begin to lay the turf along the longest straight line next to a sidewalk or driveway. When preparing the soil, leave the soil level 3/4 to 1 inch below the level of that straight surface to make a neat, smooth transition from grass to pavement. Butt and push the sod's edges and ends against each other tightly, without stretching. Stagger the joints in each row like bricks, and avoid gaps or overlaps. On slopes, place the turf pieces across the slope.
After lying the first row place a plank of wood over the top so that you can stand or knell on it to lay your next row. This spreads your weight and avoids walking on the new lawn.
Use a large knife to trim the corners. Avoid leaving small strips at the outer edges, because they won't retain moisture.
After installation, roll the entire area with a lawn roller (available from machine and garden hire stores) one-third full of water to press the sod roots into the contact with the soil.
