I’ve seen this play out a lot: buyers will overlook minor wear inside a home if it’s clean and well-maintained, but they’re much less forgiving of visible neglect from the street. The outside sets the expectation before they ever step through the door. An overgrown yard doesn’t usually require new shrubs or a redesign. What I’ve consistently seen work best is: clean trimming and shaping fresh mulch to define beds removal of weeds and dead growth a simple, intentional look that shows the home is maintained That combination does more for buyer confidence than a full landscaping project in most cases.
