Get Into the New Year with Landscape Garden Designs
With more and more UK residents staying put in the same property for longer – on average, a family lives in one house for over 20 years now – the emphasis on maintaining and doing up a property has changed from saleability to liveability. And top of the list arelandscape garden designs.
That is not to say, of course, that a landscape design solution will not add value to your home. On the contrary, it is likely to add quite a lot of value to the home. People are finding that their new liveability upgrades are actually putting a few thousand on the resale value of a house anyway – because any upgrade means that all the stuff laid in (paving slabs, sheds, fences and so on) are much newer and therefore more likely to last for a long time. Landscaping also adds a uniqueness and beauty to the outside parts of a home that may otherwise not have been apparent. And uniqueness, it is becoming clear, does make people interested in a house.

How to Design a Water Garden
If you have ever designed a water garden by sketching with colored pencils on a sheet of graph paper, let me be the first person to tell you that there is a better way! Here’s why:
1. Increase Your Net Profits
Prior to introducing digitally designed water gardens, I would close 6 out of 10 sales, or 60 percent. Now, by using a digital design, I sell 80 percent. On the remaining 20% I still made money even though I did not close the sale because I charged 0 for each design.
So besides earning an additional income of ,800 (0 for each of the eight signed contracts for building a water garden), the digital designs earned an additional 0 for the two building contracts that were not signed. At an average of 100 water features built per year, I have added ,000 to my bottom line just with this new revenue.
