Best House on the Block Secrets to Great Curb Appeal It takes seconds to form a first impression. Ask yourself this - what kind of first impression is your home making? Is your yard helping or hurting you in getting top dollar this home buying season?

The majority of homeowners (71 percent) agreed that curb appeal is important in choosing their home, according to the new TruGreen Home Features Report conducted by the National Association of REALTORS(r). Most of the homeowners surveyed reported purchasing a home with a healthy, green lawn (71 percent) and well-maintained landscaping (72 percent). Healthy lawns can drive up home values.

In a National Survey of America conducted from January 3 to January 9, 2013, using the field services of ORC International (Opinion Research Corporation), 79 percent of homeowners reported, “having a healthy, green lawn contributes to the overall value of a home.” In fact, 53 percent of those surveyed said, “the quality of the homeowner’s lawn can tell you a lot about the quality of the home overall.”

“If your home is on the market, you should know that curb appeal, or that initial feeling homeowners get when looking at the outside of a home, is important when choosing the right home to buy,” said Jason Cameron, a licensed contractor and television host.

Fertilizer Facts Grasses should be fertilized when they’re actively growing. So, it’s important to consult a lawn expert to determine what type of grass you have and when growth occurs. Together, homeowners and lawn experts can create a plan to keep grass growing at its best all season long. Beautiful, lush and natural-looking lawns are an important part of our image of what a home should be. Cameron encourages homeowners to invest in a lawn they love and make sure their home’s first impression is positive.

Attracting Attention Outside Take as much time as necessary (and as little money as possible) to maximize your home’s exterior appeal: -Dress up the front door with a new welcome mat or potted plants.

-Clean up the front and back yards by removing any toys, decorations, debris or broken tree limbs.

-Sharpen the mower blade for a cleaner cut and better looking lawn to help get top dollar when selling your home.

-Closely inspect the hardware around your house. Things like doorbells, house Weed Control numbers, guttering and mailboxes should be in good repair and have a fresh coat of Water, fertilizer and weed control are the three keys to an ideal lawn. According to paint.

Ben Hamza, Ph.D., if you mow correctly, feed your lawn and water the right way, -Add or update landscape lighting and consider easy-to-install solar options. In addithen weed management will be much easier. “Grass competes with weeds for space tion to providing safety and security, lighting can add attractive accents to walking and nutrients,” Hamza said. “Strengthening the health of turf will help your lawn win paths and plantings. the war against weeds, such as dandelions.”

-Punch up your landscape with color. Remove any dead or withered plants and fill in bare spots with large, blooming annuals.

Watering Basics -Make sure the driveway and sidewalks are free of cracks or crumbling concrete.

Knowing how to effectively water your lawn is critical to the overall health of your -Nothing makes an older house look new again like a fresh coat of paint. Repair any turf. Water your lawn only when it needs it, usually about one inch a week. The first rotting wood, caulk windows, spruce up wood trim and then update the color of your three to four inches of soil below the grass should be dry before you water. Use a home. trowel or a screwdriver to open the soil and feel it with your finger. Another way to test when your lawn needs water is to step on the grass. If you can easily flatten the grass with your foot, you should water it. If the grass regains its form quickly after you step on it, wait before watering. Watering in the cool of early morning is best as watering later in the day may leave sitting water and cause problems with root rot or fungal diseases. Never water on a windy day. Also, be aware of local water restrictions, usually posted online.

Top Three Innovations to Improve Home Efficiency

Our homes are a great measuring stick of how far we’ve progressed in the past 20 years, especially when it comes to their efficiency in terms of saving us energy and money.

Here are the top three innovative technologies that can improve the efficiency of our homes: Home Automation * It wasn’t that long ago that an automated home was a focus of science fiction. Today, adding the convenience and control of our indoor climate, lighting, electronic media and home security is increasingly affordable and accessible through home PCs, smart phone and tablet applications. With home monitoring systems, you can track energy and water usage in real time, spot key sources of energy loss and make immediate adjustments.

Insulation * If your home is more than 10 years old, there’s a good chance it has fiberglass or cellulose insulation behind its walls. While these were once the insulations of choice, there are many holes in these technologies. Since they are difficult to install perfectly and can sag or settle over time, they can leave gaps and seams. It’s like leaving a window open 24 hours a day in the freezing cold. * Experts remind us that insulation advancements have brought us spray foam insulation options that won’t settle, sag or leave any gaps. Spray foam acts as an air barrier and can deliver up to 50 percent energy savings over older insulation options, while making our homes healthier, quieter and more comfortable.

Appliances and HVAC * Appliances and heating/cooling systems are essential in American homes -- and not surprisingly, they are constantly undergoing improvements. New energy-efficient refrigerators use less than half the energy of models that are 12 years old and use 75 percent less energy than those produced in the late 1970s (Source: National Resources Defense Council). * If you have a conventional natural-draft furnace made before 1992, it might only operate between 55 to 78 percent efficiency. Upgrading to a new induced-draft condensing furnace can increase efficiency to above 90 percent as a result of more efficient heat exchangers and electronic ignition.
