Following more than a year of postponed events, we’re excited to finally open the gates to some of the region’s most magnificent newly constructed landscapes. Touring these showcased residences will likely spark your imagination, inspiring creative plans for your own property. The message from the landscape company & realtors at Lake Life Realty: "Good things come to those who wait and when it comes to such an investment, ROI is great to plan for. It’s no secret that the pandemic has created challenges of all types in all industries, and the landscape sector is no different. Supply chain delays and pricing fluctuations can mean that landscape improvement projects can also face delays. It’s an industry-wide impediment that we all hope will soon dissipate."

And while Stephens Landscaping Professionals is as skilled at navigating these hurdles as they are at crafting some of the most stunning landscapes in the northeast, the economic reality is that this environment is likely to remain challenging for a bit longer. Our message, then, is to move forward with your plans now. Reach out to them, work with and act on your dreams. Talk to the Lake Life realtors and discuss the value of different outdoor projects that can increase your property's value. So, today immerse yourself in their handiwork, dream about your own project and start planning. Again, welcome to the Lakes Region, have a wonderful journey, and enjoy the 2021 Landscape Tour.

"Any outdoor space that makes your land more usable is the best option."

—Brie Stephens

John Stephens, NHCLP Design | Build Manager of Stephens Landscaping in Moultonborough

Brie Stephens, broker of Lake Life Realty in Moultonborough Q: How does investing in outdoor space increase your home’s value?

A: Making the land on your property more beautiful, accessible and enjoyable adds significant demand for the entire property. In today’s market, increasing the usable space outside

your home is like adding more of a footprint to your lot.

These projects enhance the look and functionality of your property and can offer recreational benefits as well.

New Hampshire has seen an influx in outdoor projects since COVID-19 hit; being home has taken on all a whole new meaning, and your home’s value is affected by what similar property owners are doing. If others are building outdoor kitchens, patios or leveling green areas —all of which enhance their homes’ outdoor use— the values will go up. What your property looks like on the outside also builds buyer anticipation—and sets expectations—for what’s inside, and how well you care for the entire home.

Q: What outdoor projects are best to increase our home's return on investment (ROI)?

A: Any outdoor space that makes your land more usable is the best option. If you have a steep lot, or unstable ground where it would be difficult to entertain, walk around or lounge, making those areas more accessible is a great way to increase ROI. Enhancing how you get around the property, and adding more space to enjoy the outdoors—such as including walkways, steps and patios—are great ways to increase ROI. A popular project for this purpose is an outdoor kitchen. When designing an outdoor kitchen, some features to

include could be built-in appliances, grills, a fireplace and seating areas. The best part about these outdoor spaces is that potential buyers begin to envision themselves cooking and entertaining guests, helping them to fall in love with your property.

Q: How do I begin to plan an outdoor space?

A: Choosing the right company is critical. A bad design or poor plant selections can actually lower the value of your home. A professional design-build company will give you a personalized process to help turn your dreams into reality. When developing new outdoor spaces, there are numerous details and decisions that need to be made, but a good relationship with your company will make the process very enjoyable. Step one is to develop a master plan for your property to determine that all wants and needs are met and that they fall within state and local guidelines. The project can then be broken into phases if desired, while still ensuring a perfect outcome when the last phase is completed. Stephens Landscaping’s partnership with

Lake Life Realty allows us to work together to access, design, and deliver the best return on your investment for landscape projects, specializing in waterfront properties.
