The home's interior is
always the center of focus
when staging to sell, but
your home's outdoor space
is of equal importance,
starting with curb appeal
and ending with the
backyard. In fact, a nicely
groomed backyard may
make the difference
between someone buying
and continuing to explore
other properties. It’s not
necessary to have a total
backyard makeover. Simple
upgrades and techniques
can showcase your
backyard's best features.
Remove clutter out of the
backyard by putting away
things such as trash cans,
decorative flags, garden
tools, yard ornaments, and
garden statues. If you’re
unable to clear everything,
at least remove any worn
out or unattractive items
that only appeal to some
buyers. This is not a
reflection of your taste but
rather the chance to appeal
to as many people as
possible.
REDUCE CLUTTER
Remove or hide dog
houses, kennels, and
children’s play
equipment. If you have
a pool, fully remove
debris along with all
pool toys. Buyers
should only envision
their own children and
pets in the yard, and if
they don’t have any,
they should not be led
to think this is only a
home for families.
REMOVE HINTS OF CHILDREN AND PETS
Polish up the overall
landscaping of the
backyard. Trim
overgrown bushes and
trees, as well as de-
weed gardens. Attention
should be paid to areas
around patios and
fences. The health of
your yard is another
factor. Scattered bare
areas and brown spots
stand out, making the
yard look neglected.
I M P R O V E L A N D S C A P I N G
P L A N T F L O W E R S
Plant flowers for splashes of
color. Flowers really dress up
the backyard and add a layer
of beauty. When planting,
consider that you don’t want
the backyard to be
overwhelming. The last thing
you want is a buyer to think
there is too much maintenance
and they won’t be able to put
in the time and effort to keep it
alive and beautiful. All you
need is just a bit of lively,
simple color.
Clean and repair structures in
the backyard, including
fences, patios, and planting
beds. If a structure is
permanent and will be sold
with the house, spruce it up
with a fresh coat of paint and
make sure it is in good
working condition. Renting a
power washer to remove dirt
is recommended since it
offers a more thorough wash
than a hose and broom.
REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE
Arrange the yard so that it
looks like it’s set up for
multiple purposes. Leave an
open area in the middle of the
backyard to show potential
buyers there is room for
playing and entertaining.
Create a separate living space
by setting up benches or a
hammock in a corner. If
you’re able to bring in a fire
pit or rock garden, you can
further add to the design and
appeal.
S TA G E T H E YA R D
Create an inviting and social
space where buyers can
envision themselves grilling
with family and friends. An
outdoor dining table on the
patio can create an eating
and entertainment area.
Arrange other patio
furniture but leave enough
room to walk around. Less
is more in this case, so if it
doesn’t look like there is
room to move around,
remove pieces of furniture.
