The walkway to your home is the first thing people see—it is their first impression. Make a good impression by freshening up your yard.

If you are looking to sell your home, you may want to liven up its look and add some curb appeal before you put it on the market.

Adding new flowers to the front or back yard may be what your home needs to make it buyer friendly.

Flowers such as Marigolds, Dianthus, Begonias, and Petunias are easy to plant and maintain

If you need to fill in your planters, you may want to consider choosing small shrubbery along with your flowers. Shrubs such as Wax Leave Privets, Pink Ladies, Photinias, and Azaleas could compliment your yard nicely.

You will only need a couple hours and you can have a beautiful yard full of bright flowers and new shrubbery.

“You can easily add curb appeal by keeping the grass cut and edged, getting rid of weeds, keeping the grass fertilized and changing the color of plants and flowers according to season,” Matt Huey of Sunset Nursery said.

Sunset Nursery carries a variety of plants as well as offering maintenance and installation services. Contact them at 661-255-8777 or pay them a visit at 23256 Lyons Avenue.
