But the appraiser standard maybe otherwise.It looks okay as-is and everything is functional, but the paint on the trims are peeling.

If it passes inspections make sure you have rodent control in place and clean your gutters & roof regularly, do annual tree trimming etc.

if so, i would dig next to it to see how deep it is, it needs to be at least 18" to 24" deep, this is a barrier that keeps it from spreading past that. you will also just want to check for off shoots/ roots that may be going over the barrier, just trim them back. if the barrier is that deep and you keep the off shoots back you will be fine.

The grass and hedges trim cost me $80 per month.

Except for the two bedrooms, I took every room down to the studs = new wiring, plumbing, insulation, drywall, flooring, fixtures, counters, doors, trim, windows, appliances, roof, gutters, landscaping, fence).

It needs to be trimmed BAD.

75 - 300 / sq' , i couldn't tell you, are you building a storage shed or a house with quartz or granite counter tops, marble floors in foyer / baths and decorative tiles in the baths, stained hardwood trim, custom kitchen and decorative trim throughout the house ?

It's safe and it looks really nice with a white trim.

Power wash it then decide if it's sound enough to just spray with a good coat of exterior paint, easy spray paint job top to bottom inside & out. .. touch up trim with a accent different color.. it's cute.
