According to the 2007 "Cost vs. Value Report" from Remodeling magazine, a trade publication,
the projects offering the greatest return on investment involved what could be called "curbscaping" -- new siding, a deck and new windows.
On a national basis, the payback for siding and decks was greater than that for remodeling a kitchen,
and the payoff for replacing windows was just a few percentage points behind.
A study conducted by the National Arborist Association concluded that landscape features account for 20% of the total property value.
Money magazine conducted research on the return on investment (ROI) of home improvements.
The ROI of a kitchen is 75-125%, the bathroom is 20-120%, the pool is 20-50% and the landscape is 100-200%.
The ROI for landscaping is huge, suggesting that you may potentially double your investment.
