Landscaping Pays Off for Kansas Homes says van der Hoeven
Kansas State University extension horticulturist Gus van der Hoeven demonstrates to homeowner students how landscaping adds value. Before and after house sketches show a typical 45 000 to 50 000 dollar home rising to 55 000 to 60 000 dollars with a landscape investment of 800 to 1 000 dollars. He advises planning with trees and shrubs to frame the house, background it, tie down corners, and highlight the entry, and urges consulting nurserymen, designers, or architects for sound plans. The lesson notes resale benefits despite long development time and growing family pride.
