Below, we have focused on the latter motivation, i.e., creating a home with a higher resale value. Of course, there’s no guaranteed way to increase your home’s worth, as external variables are always at play.
As such, we have looked below at what you can expect from our hard landscaping company’s services as a general starting point.
No matter what home improvements you want to make, when deciding if work will add value, consider the following:
Property owners have long held hard landscaping features like garden patio installations, new garden fencing and new driveways in high regard. The latter immediately increases your property’s kerb appeal while creating a guaranteed off-street parking space.
As with other construction projects, numerous variables make giving an accurate figure difficult. First, there is an array of materials to choose from, all with their own specific benefits. What one person likes, another might not be so keen on.
Second, there’s the availability of off-street parking. If your part of Farnham has restrictions, a new driveway has much more value to a house than a neighbourhood where parking is free and easy.
Virgin Money estimates that attractive block paving or resin-bound driveways, for example, can increase a home’s value by up to 10%.Examples of our services include:
At GN Groundworks, our specialist groundworks services include the installation of natural stone patios and other materials, such as Indian sandstone, with completion to impeccable standards. This is important because the quality and durability of a new patio’s finish help to create a better impression on buyers and estate agents.
Of course, the potential for increase isn’t in the same league as larger-scale construction work. Understandably, it’s more akin to a new driveway. However, personal tastes mean it’s impossible to suggest anything other than a figure between 5% and 10%.
Interestingly, “good quality patio or paving” came second in a list of garden features rated most likely to significantly add value to a property.
We offer the following installations:
Defining a new fence’s ability to increase your Farnham property’s resale value is harder. Again, there are numerous variables at play. With fencing, however, there must be a clearly defined purpose. This spans a range of possibilities, such as increasing privacy and/or security with closeboard panels, marking a boundary with post-and-rail fencing, or modernising or upgrading garden aesthetics with wooden trellises.
If your new fence, installed by our landscaping company, ticks all these boxes, it may increase your home’s value by as much as 20%.
Suggestions for fencing include:
Besides new driveways, new garden fencing and garden patio installations, our hard landscaping company also excels at specialist groundworks services, such as bulk excavation and drainage installation.
