Your yard isn’t just for curb appeal - it's a chance to make an impact. Adding plants to your landscape, especially native varieties, can create a space that does more than just look good. It can do good, too.
From boosting your home’s value to supporting a healthier
ecosystem, here’s why bringing more greenery into your outdoor space is a smart
move.
1. Plants Add Value to Your Home
Landscaping is one of the most cost-effective ways to
increase your property’s value. In fact, homes with well-maintained landscapes
can see a 5-12%
increase in value, according to real estate experts.
Sustainable landscapes, those filled with drought-tolerant
or native plants, often appeal to today’s eco-conscious buyers. Native plants
require less water, are easier to maintain, and signal thoughtful, long-term
planning.
2. Native Plants Support Pollinators & Biodiversity
Bees, butterflies, birds, and other pollinators rely on
plants for food and habitat. When you plant species that naturally thrive in
your region, you’re helping restore balance to the local ecosystem and
supporting pollinators that are essential for food production and healthy
gardens.
Native plants are adapted to your area’s climate and soil.
That means they typically need less water, no fertilizers, and fewer
pesticides, making your yard not only more sustainable but also more affordable
to maintain.
Sustainable landscaping can reduce outdoor water use by
as much as 50%, making it both eco-friendly and cost-efficient.
4. Landscaping with Purpose
Adding plants creates a purposeful, connected environment in
addition to filling space. Sustainable landscaping can reduce stormwater
runoff, improve soil health, and even lower urban heat.
It’s an investment that gives back to your home, your
community, and the planet.
A Greener Yard Starts with One Step
You don’t have to overhaul your entire yard to make a
difference. Start small with a few native plants or replace part of your lawn
with pollinator-friendly shrubs. Every little bit helps.
A beautiful yard can be a responsible one. With the right
plants in place, your home can bloom in value – inside and out.
