Landscaping to Add Value

[Ryan H.]

To what extent does landscaping typically add value to a property for the purposes of appraisal and re-financing, compared to other improvements?

This is a great question. I have a property I just remodeled, but the landscaping needs some serious help. I think overall, regular landscaping (not fancy) has a pretty good ROI as far as appraisal.
