It took a while for the weather to cooperate, but when the time came, all went well with excellent results. The crew removed a large water oak and a small trash tree. They worked well together and when finished, the job site was cleaned up nicely. They were friendly and informative. Neighbors were also impressed. I highly recommend Driscoll Tree Service.

I began using Driscoll Tree Service back in 2021 and was so impressed with their knowledge and quality of work, I have only hired Driscoll Tree Service since!  Just a few weeks ago, my large oak tree needed a trim and once again it was a great job!!

5 Tips to Maximize Your Curb Appeal

First impressions matter, especially in your home. Whether you plan to sell your house or stand out in the neighborhood, enhancing your curb appeal is an excellent way to achieve your goals. As a trusted tree care company, the Driscoll Tree Service can help you create a welcoming and attractive exterior. Here are five essential tips to help you maximize your home’s curb appeal.

Refresh Your Front Door and Entryway

Your front door is often the first access point for anyone visiting your home. A fresh coat of paint can change the look of your entryway, especially colors that stand out and complement the overall aesthetic of your house. In addition, upgrading your door hardware, such as handles, knockers, and locks, to something more modern or adding a seasonal welcoming sign can also enhance the friendliness of your entrance.

Landscape with Purpose

Most people associate landscaping with just planting a few flowers. However, it’s about creating a cohesive look that enhances your home’s architecture. Start by keeping your lawn neat through routine tree trimming and pruning. Consult a professional tree care company on suitable perennial and annual plants to keep color in your garden throughout the year. If you use shrubs and small trees to add texture and height, incorporate mulching to ensure moisture retention and a well-maintained overall look. 

Update Your Lighting

Good outdoor lighting can transform your home’s appearance at night, enhancing curb appeal. Replace old or broken light fixtures with new ones that match your home’s style. It is advisable to use LED bulbs for better energy efficiency and longevity. You can incorporate pathway lighting for decoration and safety when walking at night. To avoid damage and injuries, expert technicians should handle outdoor lighting, especially if trees are in the way. In such cases, we can provide strategic tree pruning to ease installation without compromising curb appeal. 

Maintain Your Driveway and Walkways

Driveways and walkways are often the last on the list of home maintenance projects. A cracked or stained driveway can compromise your home’s appeal and value if you want to sell. Schedule routine inspections with a tree service expert to repair or resurface your driveway if it shows signs of wear. You can also conduct power washing sessions between professional checks to remove dirt and grime without breaking the bank. If roots from surrounding trees damage these structures, call certified arborists to assess the severity and recommend lasting solutions like tree removal

Create Focal Points with Accessories

Details matter in curb appeal. Update or add various accessories that style and match your home’s exterior. A new mailbox or a freshly painted post can make a huge difference. Since trees are part of your landscape, work with a tree service professional to ensure a cohesive blend of your additions with the landscape. Our experts can thoroughly assess and recommend strategies like tree trimming or removal to create sufficient space. 

These tips can enhance your home’s curb appeal, making it more attractive and valuable. Curb appeal is the first impression your home makes, and the arborists at Driscoll Tree Service can make it a good one! Contact us today and schedule a consultation to access comprehensive services, including tree pruning, mulching, fertilization, and tree removal, at friendly rates.
