Retaining Walls and Garbage Enclosures

Retaining Walls If you are looking to add a bit of elegance to your property, consider a retaining wall. Retaining walls are great for concrete curb appeal. Landscapers love retaining walls because it helps manage rainwater runoff. Because retaining walls are usually at a slope, water is guided down to a drain as opposed to puddling. This can prevent overwatering in gardens and other plants. Retaining walls can also be constructed using timber.

Garbage Enclosures– Garbage enclosures add an extra touch. Many properties and apartment buildings opt out to concrete garbage enclosures because of its durability and elegance. Because of the durability concrete gives the enclosure, they can last for many decades. Concrete garbage enclosures have an inconspicuous look that you can not get from chain link enclosures.

Stamped Walkway/Driveway

Having a nicely stamped walkway or driveway is the best thing you can do for your concrete curb appeal. According to real estate agents on Trulia, adding stamped concrete does increase your home’s concrete curb appeal and may help you sell your home faster than others in the neighborhood. Real estate agents can all agree that concrete driveways can increase your property’s value more than asphalt.

Pool Deck Replacement

Having a home in California or the Bay Area could be very profitable. Ramsey also mentions style as a condition. Having a pool is great but if it is not properly maintained and poorly constructed, you may not see that 7% increase in property value.
