Cost to Do It Yourself
- DIY cost: $60 to $80
In only a few simple steps, you can make the front of your home look more appealing.
“First, trim and shape all plants, bushes and shrubs,” said Stanford. “The only cost for this step is a $20 to $30 pruner. Add pops of color with small, ground cover plants. You can buy these plants at a nursery for $7 to $10 each. A $20 shovel to dig holes is also needed. By simply cleaning up a few areas and adding color, you can transform your front yard. Aside from investment of time, your total cost can range $60 to $80, depending on the number of plants.”
