While many homeowners enjoy the look and feel of a lush green lawn, it's something that can take a lot of work to achieve. Grass requires frequent watering, mowing, and fertilizing. Maintenance can take hours each week, and in some areas, it can be very difficult to grow the type of lawn you are interested in. If you do not want the amount of maintenance that growing a grass lawn entails or if you live in an area where growing grass is difficult, artificial turf may be a good alternative.

With this in mind, it makes sense to look into exactly which landscaping projects you should focus on when you're getting ready to take photos and list your home for sale.
