Outdoor sanctuaries are one of the underrated assets of a home. While refreshing a home’s outdoor space is often an afterthought, a backyard renovation is a smart way to increase your property’s value.

“Renovating to include sliding or bi-folding doors that open to a patio or deck creates a connection to the outdoors and indoors through natural light and makes your home seem larger — which is perfect for future investors,” says Bree Stelle, Interior Designer from RJ Living.

“A great-looking, well-maintained garden won’t only bring you joy but is highly appealing to future buyers,” adds Charlie McNeill, Managing Director of the UK-based Rainclear Systems.

“The best thing about garden upgrades – whether that’s a simple tidy-up or a full-blown landscaping project – is that they can increase your home’s value at a fraction of the cost of bigger improvements, such as extensions.”
