* When looking for a to landscape for investment purposes it's good to write a list of fixed items. For example, a property with a rainwater tank, fibreglass pool, patio, new driveway and similar has more value than a similar house without.

There is always something you can change in your home's landscape. Just remember that, although it's up to you to decide how much you want to change. You can be the judge of that and have as much fun as you can, either way.
