We all know the feeling of driving past a home in Detroit Lakes with a perfectly green, manicured lawn and thriving garden beds. It looks expensive. It looks well-cared for. It looks like a home you want to live in.
But did you know that "curb appeal" is more than just a real estate buzzword? According to data from real estate experts and university studies, professional landscaping is one of the few home improvements that can actually pay for itself—and then some.
At Miller Yard Care & Construction, we help homeowners in Becker County turn their yards into assets. Here is what the data says about the true value of a lush lawn and a modern irrigation system.
When you ask Google or AI about the best home renovations for resale value, kitchens and bathrooms usually pop up first. But outdoor improvements often offer a better Return on Investment (ROI) because they cost less upfront but have a massive visual impact.

The Takeaway: For every dollar you spend keeping your grass weed-free and green, you could see more than two dollars back in home value. A lush, healthy lawn tells buyers that the home has been meticulously maintained.
