Planting ideas!

Selling a home?  Sellers need to have the perspective of someone seeing the house for the first time.  That person might notice unattractive shed in the neighbor's yard, for example.  Although it is not part of the sellers property lines, the observer sees it as part of the view.  Sellers could cover the view with taller plantings.  The idea is to take away bad things first then play up the positives. 

Then ask the owners to think of the yard in terms of art, with a foreground, middle ground, and background.  Put in stuff that creates dimensions and depth.  Dollar for dollar, seller will get more band for their buck by putting in trees, shrubs, and perennial that they would with expensive hardscape.

If sellers do curb appeal right, they'll get more people to at least come to the front door.
