If a homeowner was to invest in professional landscaping, it would certainly raise the value of the home and offset the costs. But a little goes a long way, and even if the grounds were simply manicured, any real estate agent and homebuyer would get a much better impression. Thanks for posting all this great information.

Then it'll stand out from other homes and like you said it could add more value. Considering today’s economy and the drop in home values, I think this is a good idea to give your home an umpf.

Maybe not property prices just to help cope with life's ups and downs!

This would be very wasteful, as you're only enjoying the "beauty" of your property during your waking hours. IF you must put them on a timer, they should be turned off at a "reasonable" time. Better yet, they could/should be switched. Flip the switch on when you want to see your yard lit up... and off the remainder of the time. This can add up to a significant monetary and energy savings.

You could grow a vine like a clematis in a pot and have the vine climb up a wall or trellis against a wall. You could also get some very nice pots and plant a variety of flowering and leafy plants in them. Lots of people who don't have much property to work with, or those who live in apartments and condos do things like this and it really can look quite nice. I'm not sure if you'd be able to though since you said something about no space between two buildings. Well if it’s at all possible you could do some container planting.

Landscaping would always remain in dreams. Wish to have a house with a neatly landscaped lawn. The area in which we live in is a concrete jungle with no space between two buildings.
