Landscaping and Adding Equity

[Lucas A Davidson]

Hello there!

I'm eyeing a potential new brrrr. I have my full estimate from my contractor forthcoming, but am asking about landscaping and just how much equity can I really expect out of "minimalisation" of it.

The home is quaint and on a double corner lot. There is a full garden and the whole friggin house is wrapped in plants...then the double lot is grown over with random shrubs and little trees.

It's literally surrounded by a ragtag bunch of different plants haphazardly planted.

If in the spring I were to cut most of them out, freeing up the .3 acres into a nice big yard and to tidy up around the outside, would I expect to see some equity added when appraised?

Thanks!
