First impressions don’t just count—they sell. Whether you’re a homeowner looking to elevate your space or a real estate investor preparing a property for market, one of the smartest upgrades you can make is to the landscape. Full service landscaping doesn’t just make your yard look good—it builds long-term value and creates instant curb appeal that stops people in their tracks.
The Real Numbers: Landscaping's Return on Investment
Let’s talk numbers. According to the American Society of Landscape Architects, professional landscaping can increase a home's resale value by 15% to 20%. That’s not just a splash of green—it’s a serious bump in your property’s worth. Homes with great landscaping also tend to sell faster. Why? Because curb appeal creates an emotional pull. Buyers fall in love with how a space feels before they even step inside.
What is Full Service Landscaping, Exactly?
Imagine having a team that handles everything outdoors—design, installation, lighting, irrigation, hardscaping, and even seasonal maintenance. Full service landscaping means you don’t have to worry about juggling contractors or wondering if the lawn guy knows how to trim that topiary. It’s one seamless, professional approach that ensures every inch of your yard works together beautifully.
Transformations That Speak Volumes
Picture a neglected backyard with patchy grass, overgrown shrubs, and a cracked concrete path. Now imagine that same space with lush turf, elegant stone walkways, low-voltage lighting that highlights sculpted trees, and a cozy patio surrounded by native plants. That’s the power of full service landscaping.
Before-and-after transformations show what photos can’t always say—intentional design brings personality and order to outdoor spaces. And when potential buyers see that, they don’t just see a yard. They see home.
Features Buyers Love (and Pay More For)
Not all landscaping elements are created equal. Today’s buyers are drawn to:
- Landscape lighting for nighttime charm and security
- Defined walkways and driveways that guide the eye and improve functionality
- Smart irrigation systems that save water and time
- Layered planting beds that bloom year-round
- Outdoor living areas—fire pits, patios, and even full kitchens
These aren’t just extras—they’re investment multipliers.
The Power of Cohesive Design
Ever see a yard that looks like five different people had five different ideas? Disjointed landscaping is not only visually jarring, it also confuses buyers. Full service landscaping provides a unified design that flows—connecting the front, back, and side yards into one cohesive story. When outdoor spaces are professionally designed and maintained, they look effortless, intentional, and high-end.
Seasonal Maintenance = Year-Round Value
The best landscapes evolve through the seasons. A professional seasonal maintenance plan keeps your property fresh and vibrant—whether it’s pruning in spring, mulching in summer, or protecting plants during a winter frost. It’s not just about upkeep. It’s about preserving value.
Final Thoughts
Landscaping is no longer just a cosmetic afterthought—it’s a strategic investment. With full service landscaping, you're not just mowing the lawn. You’re creating a first impression that wows, adding features that sell, and protecting the long-term value of your property.
In today’s market, beautiful outdoor spaces aren’t a luxury. They’re a must-have.

146 of Legislative Decree 42/2004 (Code of Cultural Heritage) , and only the aspect of the binding opinion of the Superintendency referred to in paragraph 5 of the aforementioned article; It is needless to underline that the subject matter of ordinary landscape authorization concerns buildings and areas bound by the third part of the Code, or the “galaxy” and notable public interest constraints, thus falling outside the bound assets for cultural value pursuant to Law 1089/39.The release of the Landscaping Service authorization is a co-decision procedure in which several PAs participate.In particular, these are: Municipality , as the receiving body of the building application from its single building counter or SUAP; Region, as the issuing body, unless delegated to another local authority (in Tuscany these are the Municipalities); Competent superintendency ; When the property or area subject to intervention is subject to the constraints envisaged by the Code (articles 136 and 142), it is necessary to request and obtain in advance the landscape authorization prescribed by art.
The region (or the delegated proceeding entity) decides on the application for landscape authorization after having acquired the opinion of the superintendent, who assumes a binding value or not as better highlighted below.The superintendent's opinion is always mandatory and binding, except in rare cases.
Within the term of forty-five days from receipt of the documents, the superintendent must express a binding opinion on the overall project limited to : landscape compatibility of it; compliance with the provisions contained in the regional landscape plan (galaxy constraints + constraints of notable public interest + regional prescriptions); compliance with the specific discipline of the procedure initiated for the Declaration of Notable Public Interest The superintendent's opinion is not binding but in any case mandatory only where there are specific requirements for the use of the protected Landscaping Service assets.Based on art.
146 paragraph 5, the mandatory non-binding opinion is obtained when these provisions are expressly prepared in the following cases: in proceedings for the initiation of Declarations of notable public interest (pursuant to Article 136 of the Code); in landscape plans, and in the related drafting or revision procedures (pursuant to art.
141 paragraph 1 of the Code); in the integration of the content of the previous restrictions of Notable public interest (pursuant to Article 141 bis of the Code)In all the aforementioned cases, the adaptation of the planning instruments must in any case be positively verified by the Ministry, at the request of the region concerned.
It is useless to underline the extremely rare likelihood that all the aforementioned conditions, regional planning acts and urban planning instruments properly drafted will occur.
