Outdoor Upgrades That Pay: Curb Appeal Tips for Southwestern Ontario

If you want to make a big impact before listing — or just want to love coming home more — start with what buyers actually notice first: the outside.

Here are three curb appeal upgrades you can do in a weekend that always get noticed in Southwestern Ontario:

  • Edge and mulch your garden beds with native, low-maintenance plants
  • Add warm-toned outdoor lighting (even simple solar is enough for most homes)
  • Weed and trim along the driveway, sidewalks, and hedges for crisp, photo-ready lines

No fancy renovations. No huge spend. Just real, proven upgrades that change how buyers — and neighbours — see your home.
