So essentially, aesthetics and safety should be principal concerns of any company that offers landscaping in Overland Park, KS, such as Good Earth Outdoor LLC. After all, a beautiful home isn't worth the money when people’s lives are at risk every time it is occupied. Still, the ability of landscapers to enhance a property's retail price shouldn't be ignored: the Arbor National Mortgage conducted a study in Greenville, South Carolina saying that houses with “excellent” landscaping tend to sell four to five percent more than those that don't have it. Layton says that this is because a home with excellent landscaping is easy to remember, especially for buyers who were only window-shopping for houses. “The key is to make sure your property is appealing to drive-by viewers—especially in upscale neighborhoods. These potential homebuyers may not even be interested in your house yet, but just checking out the neighborhood.

Tardiva Might be the Next Big Thing for Landscaping in Kansas City
(From Tardiva is a late summer star in Charlotte, Charlotte Observer, August 22, 2013) Anyone who tends to his or her backyard knows that choosing plants that are both pleasing to look at and easy to maintain is almost a necessity for landscaping. However, many shrubs and flowers don't bloom in the summer months, which is why Kansas City landscaping companies like Good Earth Outdoor LLC need to be creative with their plant selection. Thankfully, there is one plant that might just be the one they're looking for, according to the Charlotte Observer: Hydrangea paniculata or “Tardiva” “Tardiva belongs to the species named Hydrangea paniculata.” says Nancy Brachey. “It has been around a long time, but only in recent years has it begun to show up more widely in home landscapes. It is not a small shrub, but almost treelike as it rises rapidly to about 6 feet, possibly higher.” She continues that the plant is rather easy to maintain, which makes it ideal for landscaping.
