American Dream: Keeping your curb appeal appealing

Tyler Ryan learns about the different types of landscapers that all help your home look homey

COLUMBIA SC (WOLO) – When it comes to what people find valuable in a home, there is the kitchen and bathroom, and of course the three major considerations, location, location, and location, but what about that initial impression when someone pulls up to your home?  That first opinion comes from how groomed your yard is often at the hands of a landscaper.

According to Cornish Landscaping, Justin Cornish, there are several types of landscapers, ranging from the “lawn guy,” who are famous for the mow, blow, and go, to hardscapers that design and implement anything from retaining walls, to rock beds, walkways and more.

Cornish suggests vetting any potential professional, regardless of their mission.  He suggests that you ensure that companies are licensed in the State, have the appropriate business licenses, and of course, insurance.  He also says that spending some time researching companies can help ensure you have professionals that will live up to expectations.  He says you can check review sites like Angi and Home Advisor, as well as Google and Facebook.
